How to Add a Bow to Cake Decorations
Hi, I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now we'll assemble our bow on the top. Sometimes it helps in assembling the bow to just cut off the corners here, so that you have points. And again you want to use a little bit, a little dab of water, to just moisten the top area here where you are going to be placing the bow. Not too much water here, you don't want a puddle. And if you get a little too much on there, you can wrap it off with a paper napkin. And you just take your little bow sections and do four diagonally like so. And then another row here. Put a little bit of water there. And the fondant is still a little bit pliable, so you can still mold it a bit, its not completely dry. If you let them sit over night they'll be completely dry, and you won't be able to move them around as much. A little bit more there. And then the center, just first take a look and see how it looks. Very nice. And I'm just going to put a tiny bit of water there. And that completes our bow.
