Step 7
Now let’ s add the bow knot! Knead a small amount of black fondant until smooth, then shape it into a fat sausage. Roll it out to 2mm thick and use your pizza cutter to freehand a strip, approx 15mm wide by 60mm long.
Step 8 Turn the strip over so the good side is facing down and lightly brush the back with water. Place this across the centre of your bow, wrapping it around to the back to secure. The back doesn’ t need to look perfect( no one’ s going to see it!), but just make sure the strip is glued down and sits flat. Trim off any excess fondant with your scalpel. Now your bow is taking shape!
