Instructions:
Step 1
In advance: Tint 72 oz. fondant brown; cover base board. Tint 96 oz. fondant ivory. Reserve 72 oz. for cake panels. Add 2 teaspoons Gum-Tex to 24 oz. ivory fondant; roll out into a 20 x 10 in. rectangle. Imprint design using Fondant Imprint Mat. Make 18-loop top bow using 1 x 9 1/2 in. imprinted strips.

Ice 2-layer cakes smooth with Chocolate Buttercream. Prepare for Stacked Construction and position on fondant-covered base board.

Roll out remaining ivory fondant 3/16 in. thick. Place on Imprint Mat and roll over once to imprint design. Cut two 4 1/2 x 20 in. strips and two 4 1/2 x 23 in. strips. Position 23 in. strips on opposite sides, matching ends on top of cake, then position two remaining strips.
