Most of the time I use a ready made rolled fondant, simply because it is a time saver. But now and then I also make MMF and gum paste.

Rossanal: A crumb coat tutorial is added to my list.

Cat: I dont think so. Then it would have to be a fondant bow?

Tammy: Like I wrote Cat, I dont think that you can do this with bc. But you can use this tutorial and make the bow only using fondant instead.

tamara nankivel: Ohh sorry, no this is a fondant cake, not bc. I the tutorial I just wrote about how important it is that the crumb coat is very smooth and straight, before covering the cake with fondant and then the ribbon bow.

Heidi: Piping gel is a clear sticky gel that you can pipe with onto cakes, or use it to make rain drops, water ect. it can be colored with food colors and oposit real water this will not soften the fondant like water would do.

I must tell you that each time I receive your email updates it makes me happy inside!! I truly enjoy looking at your beautiful creations and learning about your techniques. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. This ribbon bow adds a very delicate and elegant touch to the cake. I’m so excited I now know how to make it! :D
Can this technique (using the piping gel) also be used on buttercream? Thanks again.
Tammy

I was wondering also if you are planning to make a tutorial about covering cakes with buttercream. I would like to know how you get a perfect surface on the cake before applying fondant.

I am usually very creative for these things, but to be honest this idea has never crossed my mind. I love it and it looks very beautiful.

Thanks for the step by step, it is very clear!

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Piping gel is also good if you want to make a color flow with gel instead of royal icing. Many also use it to look like water. It can be colored too.

Stephanie: of course you can hide the overlap with the bow. I just like it to do it the other way ;-)

Steph: I will eventually share more recipes and so.

Do you have any cake recipes that you are willing to share ? I never quite know what type of cake is best for which icing.
