Vintage Fondant Bow Cake

Fondant Bow Cake — A Cake Wrapped Like a Gift

Some cakes are a gift. This one looks the part too. Our Fondant Bow Cake is a smooth, flawlessly finished buttercream cake topped with a large, beautifully sculpted fondant bow and draped fondant ribbon tails that fall elegantly down the sides — exactly as though the cake itself has been tied up like a present. Available in any colour you choose, it's elegant, romantic, and completely show-stopping. Made fresh to order by our award-winning Melbourne team.

About This Cake

The cake itself is finished in smooth, clean buttercream for a polished, sculptural look. The showpiece is the fondant bow — generously sized and sculpted entirely by hand, complete with soft folds and trailing ribbon tails that drape down over the buttercream to the base. Both the bow and the ribbon tails are made from fondant and are fully edible. The result is minimal yet striking: a single colour, a perfect bow, and not a detail out of place. This is understated luxury at its most refined.
