I am going to be doing a topsy turvy cake in a couple of weeks and want to attempt a MMF bow, could you share any tips?? I also want to put the wire in as decorations with how do you bend them w/o them looking tacky?? Also, is it safe to put floral tape in the cake after wrapping the floral wire?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I mix my fondant with gumpast to make bows so they dry harder and faster. Be sure to allow several days for your bow loops to dry. I would put a straw into the cake to put the wires into and not put them directly into the cake. HTH

Tiggy- thanks for your reply. Would I make the loops first, let them dry a couple of days and then put it together later on? Or put it together as I am making it?

I make my loops and lay them on their sides to dry for a few days before putting the bow together. If you don't let them dry they won't hold their shape.
