I need a tutorial on how to make fondant bows but don't know where to look. Can someone please direct me? Thanks so much!
Check out youtube. They have many videos that are very helpful. If you type in tonedna1....she is also a CC member she has a video on how to do a fondant bow. Also, planet cake has a video on how to do a bow as well. HTH
Not sure if this is the style you mean, but here's a cool tutorial...it's not written in english, but the pictures are totally self explanatory:

Thanks for your comment "cool tutorial"!
I just wanted to write down the same tutorial
If anyone of you speaks Spanish it is also in Spanish on the Spanish section of my side.
Good luck and have fun!

Here's the one I was thinking of: http://cakecentral.com/article103-How-To-Make-a-Gumpaste-Bow.html
cakeboss.com has a tutorial on making a fondant bow...
http://www.cakeboss.com/FondantBowTutorial.aspx
it is a software to help you price your cakes but they have other good info on the site.
Here's Melissa's Package Bow instructions: http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=72231&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0
And there's another bow tutorial that one CCer did in a video which is awesome but I can't for the life of me find that link (and I can't remember her name either!)
Here are some instructions I wrote http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-629785-loopy.html
AHA!! I found it!! http://cakesandcupboards.blogspot.com/2008/08/fondant-bow-demo.html
Here's a thread on it too: http://forum.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=600363&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0
I've been struggling with making bows for a while and finally made a perfect one. Thought I'd pass along some advice since all the tutorials make it look so easy.
I'd start making the loops a few days in advance to allow everything to harden up. I'd use either all gumpaste or 50/50 mix of gumpaste and fondant. I can never get an all fondant bow to harden up as well and it ends up cracking. Make sure to use very stiff royal icing to hold the bow together, some ppl use chocolate too. But buttercream just won't cut it. I try my loops overnight on a broom stick to keep them all uniform in shape/size. The thicker the loops, the fuller the bow will look (3" x 6" is a good size for a 6-8" cake) I usually make 16-20 loops
I want to thank everyone again for all the great help. There are some really talented ladies out there. Thank you all so much!
