My First Loopy Bow -- How Did I Do?
Decorating By Tina_Mace Updated 24 Aug 2007 , 6:43pm by Doughnut
I thought I was making too many loops and would have extras, but I used every one! 
How did I do? Any and all suggestions or criticisms appreciated. Thanks!
Excellent bow..I have tried now 3 times and no go!!! I am gonna get it one day! HA!HA!
Good recently tried my first loopy bows back to back and they are not as hard as they seem, yours is lovely
Wow! Very pretty. I'm in the process of making a bow (through a class). I hope mine turns out as pretty.
Great job! I have tried and can't get mine to stand up! It looks great!
yours looks great! I've been meaning to try one forever and haven't had the time or the courage to do it. Hope mine comes out as good as yours!

What did you use to form the loops? They are all very even and neat looking.
Cakebabe -- I made the bow for a wedding cake and my sister actually completed the decoration of the cake as I was going out of state to visit my daughter. I left it up to her if she wanted to put tails on it and she choose not to.
Mickig -- it was a little easier than I thought it would be. I used 50/50 mix of fondant/gum paste and used the same to "glue" it together -- took a ball of fondant that I squashed and glued the first row of loops to it and repeated until I was done. It is really helpful IMO to have a dowel rod that you place all the loops on to dry -- give you uniformity in the shape. It probably took a good 2 days to dry the loops before I actually put it together.
