Heya,
I'm a beginner at doing cakes, and I've been practising making sugarpaste bows. I did one which was quite good, but it had cracked on the bend. How do you stop it from cracking!?
Thanks 
There could be two things. You do have to work quickly with the fondant/gumpaste because it will start to dry out and crack. You also have to support your loops in some way while they dry. You can do the loops over a dowel rod, or you can lay them on their sides. If you start to assemble the bow before the looks are dry, you need to put something in the middle of the looks like paper towels or tissue paper, to help prop them open while they continue to dry.
Thank you so much for the replies 
I will give them another go
