RR Purse

This is my first purse cake. I found one I liked on the internet and I copied it the best I can :). The color scheme and the combination of textures won me, the gold next to the green leather ... The diamonds are big sugar crystals. The golden accents are gumpaste, the rest is MMF, except the little holder of the trademark tag, made of floral wire. It was so bizarre cutting and eating it :), I added a little picture, looks to real to eat ...

wow! how'd you get the purse handles to stand up? And how did you merge all of those colors in your fondant? or did you paint them on afterwards?

the texture of the purse, the handles and all the details are turely amazing

Wow, thank you, guys :oops:! The handles stand resting on each other just for the picture, Ididn't think about this when I chose the design :roll: . The cokors are bands of MMF cut and placed on the white base, thnen rolled onto carefully to stick in place. At the end i did the vertical lines with pressing a coctail stick to the MMF.

Congrats on winning 3rd place - how did you get the purse handle to stay up?

anxeli 9/2/09 at 8:12am

Those handles, the hardest thing! They are chilled stiff and rest on each other

Wow - amazing work! Okay, how long did this cake take? :) How did you get the shiny finish? I love that.

anxeli 9/3/09 at 9:54pm

Thank you. The cake took saturday night and half of my sunday, let's say 10 hours. Now that I know what I am doing it will take less maybe :D . The shiny finish is CFC - common fridge condense :roll: ...
