Can I Make Bows With Fondant Instead Of Gumpaste?
Decorating By cakaddict Updated 2 May 2007 , 2:18am by TexasSugar
My title says all...
Is it possible?
Here is the recipe I use:
Toba Garrett's
ROLLED FONDANT
Ingredients
1 Tbsp (1 envelope) unflavoured gelatin
1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water
1 tsp lemon, almond or orange extract
1/2 c (6 oz or 168 g) light corn syrup
1 Tbsp glycerin (optional)
up to 2 lbs (908 g) 10X confectioner's sugar
1/2 tsp white vegetable shortening
Thank you

Take a look in my pictures, there is a green communion cake that has a fondant bow on the bottom. Notice how it seem to fall soft just like fabric would, now take a look at the first cake the one that has a baby on top, this bow is made with gumpaste that has tylose in it, see how it stands firm and it doesn't fold down like the green one does.
That will be the difference between the two
I've made several "straight" fondant bows and none of them drooped. I believe the trick is to stick paper pieces, sarah wrap, etc. in the loops and let them completely dry. Most of mine were allowed to dry overnight with bits of paper towels rolled up in the loops.
(You can see some in my photos)
Gum-Tex is the same type of thing as Tylose, so is Gum Trag.

Well... not exactly the same thing but close enough for this purpose
I didn't say they were the same thing. I said they were the same type of thing. Meaning the all do the same thing though some may be better versions.
