The Problem of The Bow

I've got another cake this weekend. It looks simple enough. But I just know that I'm going to have problems doing the bow.

I've found instructions:

I've made the first 7 loops. But assembling it is going to be problematic. I just know it is. For a start, I'm drying the loops over my mini rolling pin and I can only get 7 on at a time. And the instructions say to leave them to dry for 24 hours. However, I think that might be for sugarpaste and I'm using pastillage. So they should be dry enough to keep their shape in a little while.

Why do I do this to myself? I've been putting off doing this all day, because I've been so worried about it. I'll try and put it together tomorrow. But I don't know what I'm going to do if it all goes horribly wrong.
