Boy Baby Shower Cake
This cake is buttercream with fondant accents. I added gum-tex to bow loops for firmness. I almost had a panic attack the night before the cake was due...it was very humid and the loops would NOT dry!!! Luckily, they finally firmed up enough to put the bow together.
its adorable!!! how did you do the bow??
Very nice job!!!!!!!!!!!
looks sooo cute great job
I cut strips of fondant mixed with gum-tex...some about 6" long some about 4" long. I attached ends of strips with piping gel & squeezed together. Then I shaped the loops and stood them up on their sides to dry on some wax paper. After dry, cut ends into points so the loops can be arranged in a circle & ends fit together like a puzzle. I kind of "glued" them all together with buttercream, but it probably would've worked better with royal icing. Then I arranged the smaller loops on top same way.
Congratulation! Felicitaciones! ;-D
