Decorating Cakes with Fondant Bows!!

Nothing says "celebrate" like a cake topped with a lush fondant bow. While the bow looks intricate, it's really just a grouping of fondant strips, folded, wrapped and arranged to create a full effect. When you cut strips with the Fondant Ribbon Cutter/ Embosser, you can create bows with stripes or beaded edge embossed designs.

Step 1: Cut Strips and Loop

This bow can be assembled directly on the cake or ahead of time, using a 2 to 2 1/2 in. fondant circle as a base. Cut strips for bow loops. Your bow may use more loops than shown here. Fold strips over to form loops. Brush ends lightly with damp brush. Align ends and pinch slightly to secure. Stand loops on side to dry.

Step 2: Arrange and Attach Loops

Position 6 or 7 bow loops in a circle to form base of the bow. Attach to fondant circle with thinned fondant adhesive or melted candy.

Step 3: Continue to Attach Loops

Attach remaining loops, filling in center area of bow. Trim loop ends, if needed, to fit.

Cake Decoration: Drop Strings

Today is our section of Cake Decoration Techniques:
Drop Strings on a Cake

The image you see in the post, has arcs at the outer edge on upper part. They are called drop strings.
To make Drop Strings:
Step 1:
With a toothpick, mark horizontal divisions on cake in the width you desire. Bag Position: shoulder level at 4:30 (7:30 for left hand decorating). Tip: lightly above the surface to attach. Touch tip to first mark and squeeze, pausing momentarily so that icing sticks to surface.

Step 2:
While squeezing, pull the bag toward you. Continue squeezing to allow the icing to drape naturally into an arc. Icing will drop by itself--do not move the tip down with the string. The end of the tip should be the same distance from the surface as the width from point to point on your cake.

Step 3:
Stop pressure before you touch tip to second mark to end string. Repeat, keeping drop strings uniform in length and width.

Step 4:
Try a different color for each row of multiple drop strings-put holiday colors together to really dress up your cake. To add multiple rows of strings, mark the cake for the deepest row and pipe that row.

Step 5:
Return to the first drop string point, squeeze the bag, and drop a string with a slightly shorter arc than in the first row.

Step 6:
Join the end of this string to the end of the corresponding string in the first row. Repeat the process for a third row of drop strings above the second.

Happy Baking!
