This is the first time I made a cake with a large bow on it, I made all the fondant strips the same length, glued the ends together with edible glue then pushed paper towel through the center and left to dry over night. the next day I made narrow strips of lilac fondant and glued them over the center of the bows, I then piped royal icing dots on the edges of the bows and let them dry. I made some fondant ribbons and glued them in a cross shape over the cake I then glued the bow/loos on the cake starting from the outside and and working up to the center. I made the butterflies using a cutter and leaving them to dry on a folded piece of card to help shape the wings then stuck them on the cake. to finish I piped the lady’s name and age, she was delighted with the cake.
