I just assembled my first bow tonight and I love it. It was a practice, but I'm considering puttting it on the cake (and saving some work). I'd like to add those sparkle flakes from Michaels. I was going to brush the edges of the loops and shake on the sprinkles. The party is this Saturday. I cut and formed the loops Monday night. I don't have much experience with fondant. Is this too long to have the bow sitting out? Will it crack by Saturday? Also, the bow is dry, will I risk it by brushing water on it now to add the sprinkles?
thanks

I dont think if you burhs a little water on there it would kill the whole project. alcohol is probaby better b.c it will dry faster...and i dont think it will break by saturday, the more it dries the better it is..i think.

Thank you! I tried to do a search for one but didn't see it!
Thanks all for the advice. Ilee - I can't remember who told me, but the key for me was remembering to turn some loops side ways. I started by facing them all the same way and quickly remembered the trick! Also, I cut a piece of PVC pipe and took some twine. I shot the twine through the pipe, then was able to tie both ends to my cabinet knobs. It resembled a trapeze swinging bar. It kept my loops hanging nicely and kept it high enough away from the kids. I used 6" strips, rolled to 1/8 inch. I used exactly 20.
