Ribbon bow template - the template is an easy one. It consists of one long rectangle piece for the loops and another smaller rectangle piece for the centre. In coming up with the template, it is important to keep in mind the size of the bow. This is to make sure you get the size that you expected. I normally decide on the length of my bow first, and only then draw and cut out the templates in paper.

So, if you want your finished bow to measures 12cm in length with loops measuring 3cm in width, you would need your rectangle template to measure 12cm by 3cm for each of the loops. Once folded, each loop will be half of its original size, in this case, 6cm. So two loops of 6cm will make a bow that is 12cm in length). For the center, there is no need for any specific measurement, just an estimate of the width and length is sufficient. As I have mentioned above, the first step in making the bow, is to get the template ready. My template consists of one long rectangle (for the 2 loops of the bow) and one small rectangle (for the center of the bow). The length of the long rectangle will determine the overall length of your bow's loops. CMC powder - the function of CMC powder is similar to tylose powder. It gives additional strength to the fondant and makes it dry hard. This helps the fondant bow to hold its shape. I use about ¼ of a teaspoon of CMC powder to 100g of fondant. Please do not throw any incorrect items as we may ask you to return it to us – we will, of course, cover the cost of your postage in these circumstances. Despite looking difficult, fondant bows are quite easy to make. The only difficulty or rather issues with fondant bows is in attaching them to cakes. It is still not much of an issue when these are placed on the top of cakes, but it can be quite an issue when attaching these lovely pieces of sugar art on the sides of the cake.

Kitchen towels/tissues - These are to be used to hold the shape of the fondant bow while it is drying. I use 2 kitchen towels, fold and roll them into cylinders and tape them. I get these ready before starting my fondant work.
