I use two things...one is a toothpick in the side of the cake which sticks out just enough to slide the bow onto it. Then I use royal icing on the back of the bow, including where the toothpick goes in, and then I slide the bow onto the toothpick and hold it while the royal icing dries. If it's really heavy you can used balled up plastic wrap or cotton balls to hold it while the royal dries. HTH. Cat

it will be on buttercream
You will be able to get it to stick to the buttercream with more buttercream but you will need to make sure the bow isn't so heavy as mentioned above.

Make sure you shape it against something contoured so that it is takes the curved shape of the cake. If you are putting the bow on an 8" cake, shape the bow against the 8" cake pan so that it will harden to that shape. And, give it ample time to dry/set/harden.
