Items required:

• Fondant cutter & Embosser
• Fondant Rolling Pin
• Ruler
• Serrated Knife
• Viva Paper Towel
• Crusting Buttercream

Bake a sheet cake 11x15 and cut into 1/3

Stack your pieces on top of one another..

Here I have the wooden dowels showing, so you will know where to place them at..

But you will push them down through the cake, so that they dont show.

Here I have crumb coated the cake in Crusting Buttercream, then shaved a little off the sides to form a purse shape.

I made some Fondant Accents for the Purse.

Using the ruler, I measured all areas needed to cover in fondant.. Let these dry for a few hours..

Use the fondant cutter & embosser to make the stitch effect. I used silver dragees for the metal accents.

Ice the entire cake in Crusting Buttercream and awaits it's final touches.

Apply the fondant accents to the cake.

TIP: You can use a tiny bit of alcohol (clear Vodka, Everclear etc) brushed on the back of the accents to make them adhere to your buttercream

I went with the Dooney & Bourke look

I used tinted buttercream and piped on the letters
