FAQs
Are these bows edible?
No, these are purely decorative items and must be removed from the cake before serving.
How long is the pick attached to the bow?
The pick length is 70mm.
How many bows come in a pack?
Each pack contains 8 individual ribbon bows.
Can I reuse these bows?
They are designed as single-use decorative items.
Will the color bleed into my icing?
Because the bows are attached via food-safe picks, the ribbon material should not come into direct contact with the icing if positioned correctly.
Troubleshooting
Pick is difficult to insert into the cake
Use a cake skewer or toothpick to create a pilot hole before inserting the ribbon bow pick.
Bow is drooping or not sitting straight
Check that the sponge is firm enough; if the cake is too soft, ensure the pick is pushed all the way down to the cake board for extra stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply grasp the handle of the pick and push it gently but firmly into your finished sponge or cake structure.
Compatibility: These are compatible with standard sponge cakes, fruit cakes, and dense mud cakes. If the cake is very hard (such as a cold fruit cake), consider pre-poking a small hole with a skewer to avoid damaging the pick.
Care: These are intended for one-time decorative use. Do not submerge the ribbons in water or heat them in an oven, as this may compromise the shape of the bows.
