    Materials:

    For the Bow:

    160 g of gum paste for the bows & tails (you may have a bit of extra)

    Coloring Gels: Americolor Sky Blue

    Piping Gel

    Piping tips: I used a Wilton tip 12 for the polka dots

    Miscellaneous: We prepped the counter with shortening before rolling out the gum paste. Rolling pin, sharp knife or x-acto knife, piping gel

     

    Filler to hold the gum paste loops in place (We used pillow fluff but paper towels & saran wrap work also.)

    For the Bear Design:

    (We are decorating a fondant covered 6 inch double barrel cake that has been covered in white fondant. Buttercream would work equally well for this design.)

    Fondant for bear (you won't need much) & Grass border

    Coloring gels: Americolor Warm Brown, Deep Pink, Yellow, Wilton Leaf Green (use your colors of choice)

    Piping Tips: We used a Wilton 2 tip for the stems, and 2 & 3 tips for the rest of our flowers. Any small round tips will do.

    Circle Cutters for bear body

    Misc: Piping gel, Food Coloring Pen, Wilton Stitching Wheel (optional)

    Use cardboard cake circles & supports as usual if doing a double barrel cake.

     

    Part One: Creating the Bow 

     

     

    Part Two: Creating the Bear and decorating the cake!
