I have a quick question. I am making a bow at the top of a cake. I have attached one as a sample that is not mine. I have all the bow pieces, but I am not sure if I put it together with fondant and gumglue or BC icing. Will the icing soften it?

Thanks for your help.

wgoat5. Thank you so much. And I have to say that your bow is beautiful. I never made any bow ties hanging down. Next time.

I've never tried fondant + gum glue and you definitely should NOT use BC icing. It isn't strong enough.

I use melted chocolate on all my bows. I just tint it as close to the bow color as possible, and pop it into the frig between layers.

wgoat 5.

I finished, but the bow didn't have enough time to dry that is why you see blue, that is to cover up the white royal icing. But it turned out okay. I love the way you put in curls with your bow. I would like to try it again, this time be more prepared.

Thank you again for your help. The BD girl was very happy with her little cake.
