you'd never beleive how I got the grain on the ribbon affect. The plastic bird pirches with the ribs - new of course. After I rolled the gumpaste I did a final roll with the bird pirch and it made the grains. Cool huh? ;-D
With vanilla and a dresdan (spelling?) tool. I made this as a topper and just put it on a cake I was practicing fondant folds with. It is only an 8"x3" cake that it's sitting on. Sorry.
Thanks for you lovely comments. Please don't hesitate to ask questions - I PM all answers so just because you don't see an answer don't think the questions aren't answered. Enjoy the day!
Thank you - I used a pearl mold. They can be purchased on line or at a cake supply store. Sorry they aren't available at craft stores. just "google" pear molds. A bunch of websites come up but I got mine at www.cakesbysam.com Have fun.

Your bow is perfect and gorgeous. Does the pearl mold make a string of pearls that you glue to the edge of the bow or do you mold the actual edge of the bow with the pearl mold? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have asked many others about this and no one has answered my question. Maybe because it is common sense to some but not to me. I would love to make a bow like this.
very beautiful i learned how to make this bow from glenda galvez from texas she makes beautiful bows and roses she has a video on them her site is auntglendascakes.com
Wow, I love the ribbon good job :D
beautiful bow...I am so envious!! I tried to make one and what a dissaster :( any tips to help make the process easier?
Beautiful! Great job!
How did you get the pearls so pearlescent? Is it luster dust powder?
yes, it's the pearl luster dust. I'll love the stuff.
Beautiful!!!
That is beautiful.. It must have taken a long time.
It's beautiful! How did you get the gosgrain ribbon fabric pattern on your bow loops?
