![]() |
Items required:
|
![]() |
Bake a sheet cake 11×15 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 But you will push them down through |
![]() Side View of the Purse Cake |
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. |
![]() |
Ice the entire cake in Crusting Buttercream and awaitsit’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 |
