Decorating By YummyFireMummy Updated 19 Oct 2006 , 9:27pm by YummyFireMummy
Can anyone tell me how you make the gumpaste bows? I had one on my daughters christening cake (before I started decorating) and I loved it. I would really love to be able to do them myself.
Maybe we will all learn something if someone knows lol!
I meant the regular tied ones like the pics u put but I would love to know how to do both.
I found this link... don't know if it helps any....

How to do the gumpaste loop bows is definitely on CC in the instructions, as for the ones I've posted, I like to make them by really thinly rolling out my paste and cutting out the loop sections first, I also mark the edges with a stitching wheel so it looks like fabric, and I fold these peices in half and pinch the ends together. They may need some adjusting to get the creases looking just right, so play with them until you're happy, then I cut the tail pieces and the centre, also marking the edges and cutting the tails on a 45 degree angle. I pinch the straight end of the tails, place one on the cake, then a loop, then the other loop, then the final tail on top of the second loop. Then take the centre piece, scrunch it a bit to get the folds and wrap this around the centre of the bow. You don't need it to go all the way around just so that is covers any ends and looks neat.
There you have it. At least that's how I do it, I'm sure there are other ways, and possibly better ways, but I find this method works well for me.
