Because the ribbons are wired they hold their beautifully. Make the ribbons at least two weeks in advance, to allow them to dry completely.
Roll out fondant or gumpaste thinly, carefully measure and cut stips 1.3cm wide and 10cm long. Shape 24 gauge wire into individual upside down "U". Brush the upper and lower edges with egg white. Put the shaped wire about 1cm from the strip's base.
Close the top strip on the bottom strip, sandwiching the wire. Turn the ribbon strip on its side and allow to dry. Repeat the process to achieve the size bouquet required. Insert the ribbons into a ball of gumpaste. Consider cutting some smaller ribbons for variation at the base.
Such an easy way to make these bows :) thanks for the share!
