To start, I use rolled up wax paper cut into different lengths as inserts for my bow loops to dry. I find that this method helps me to customize the size of the loop and adapt accordingly while in the midst of working.

Roll out fondant and cut into desired size strip.

Next take each end and gently twist the loop facing up and attach each end to the top of the center.

Insert a cut up piece of rolled wax paper to insure that the bow dries opened.

Repeat the process and attach one on top of the other to achieve that double bow effect.

Take a small strip of rolled fondant and carefully wrap it around the center of the bow, making sure that it is secured in the back.

Roll out two more strips of fondant and attach to the back of your bow.

For a really full bow with multiple layers of color, repeat this process with either a larger or smaller set of a double bow. Single strands of colored fondant ribbon can also be attached from the back of the bow to give more dimension.

Finally you can either leave your bow as is or adorn the center with a decorative accent of your choice.

Thanks!

I came across a most adorable bow online that had the cutest little hot pink owl, and I knew that I had to make it out of fondant:) So here is a pictorial that I put together on how I made her.

I am working on putting together a tutorial of the girly bow that I made with the little owl on top.

Thanks!

In this tutorial I want to show you how to make a fondant ruffle flower. Ruffle flower accessories are chic and fashionable and can even be made out of fondant. They are a unique and clever way to accessorize a cupcake!

You will need a circle cutter. I used a 2 inch round cutter to cut out 5 circles. Roll out your fondant so that it is thin.

Working with one circle at a time, fold it in half but make sure it is dusted with cornstarch and that the edges are not sticking to each other.

Now fold in half gently once more and make sure that the edges are barely touching.

Repeat this process for the next four circles and set them aside to dry for a few minutes. Tip: If you find that the edges are sticking to each other, place cut up pieces of paper towel between them. After the folded circles have firmed up a bit, assemble them so that the pointed corners are all touching.

To attatch the folded circles together, I use a mixture of water and meringue powder, and brush it along the corners.

After you have assembled your ruffle flower, let it rest for a while so that it hardens and firms up a bit.
You now have the perfect fondant ruffle flower to adorn your cupcake!
