Fondant Bow Topper

January 8, 2014 by Roxy

Fondant Bow Topper

Materials & Tools:

  • Fondant (colour of choice)
  • Rolling pin
  • Some cornstarch for dusting
  • Exacto knife, pizza cutter or any other small sharp knife
  • Edible glue
  • Melted candy or royal icing to glue the loops together in the same colour as your bow (optional)
  • Plastic wrap or paper towels
  • Glitter dust & a few drops of vodka (optional)

Fondant Bow Topper - Materials and Tools

 

Directions:

Roll the fondant into a rectangle.

Cut the rolled fondant into strips about 2 cm (3/4 inch) wide and 10-13 cm (4-5 inches) long. You can cut your strips wider & longer depending on how big you want the bow.

Although you can’t really see it in the pictures, I brushed my strips with silver glitter dust mixed with a few drops of vodka. I’ll have to apply more next time for a better effect.

Take one strip, brush the ends with some water, fold it into a loop and pinch together the ends (dusted side facing out).

Repeat the steps to make all the loops. I made about 30. Place the loops on their side for drying on a sheet of wax paper.

You can assemble the bow directly on the cake or ahead of time. I made it the day before.

Take a sheet of wax paper. If you are using royal icing or candy melts to glue the loops together then place a small puddle in the center of the wax paper. It’s easier to use either one of these two as the glue but this time I didn’t use any… you will see how I did it below, a little more time consuming but it works.

Position 10 loops into a circle to form the base of the bow, turning every other one on its side as seen below.

Add another tablespoon of royal icing or candy melts in the center. In my case, I placed a piece of green fondant in the middle and brushed some edible glue on the bottom to make sure it sticks to the loops.

If you’re using fondant in the center, make some small cuts with a knife and gently insert each end of the loop in to make the second layer of loops. Again turn some of them on their sides. Brush some edible glue on the pointy side of the loop and on the fondant blob to make sure they are properly attached.

If needed, place some plastic wrap or crushed paper towels below the loops to hold them in place until they dry completely.

Add more glue in the center and attach the remaining loops to fill in the top of the bow.

Let it dry overnight and remove the plastic wrap or paper towels. Gently pick up the fondant bow and arrange it on top of the cake (brush some edible glue on the cake before placing it).
