Purse Cake

Tomorrow we are going to a birthday celebration...so I decided to make a cake.

I've been wanting to try a purse cake...so here it is:

A burberry purse cake!

Next time ... I need to wrap the fondant around the top of the cake - so it doesn't slide. i made the base of the purse in a loaf pan and then added two more layers from a 9x13 pan. used Food Writers for the stripes. It's kind of fun making "practice" cakes - so I can figure out the best way to do things. Of course it's not anywhere near perfect - but cute!

4th of July Cake - My First

This is my first custom cake!

It is an Uncle Sam hat.

It was a practice working with fondant cake - in preparation for my daughter's first birthday cake. It was fun learning how to work with fondant and see what it does.

It ended up being 5 layers - 2 strawberry and 3 french vanilla, with funfetti frosting filling. It was really yummy and I got lots of compliments on how cute it was. It was SO heavy!

I hand cut all of the stars and stripes.
