Coach Purse

My first purse cake! Covered in fondant with fondant/gumpaste (1/2 and 1/2 mixture) details. I used the "C" template I found on cakecentral for the pattern; thank you to whoever posted that.

I used silver lustre dust mixed with lemon extract and brushed it on.

Great Job !!! I just did my first coach purse and had a hard time getting my c"s cut out is there a certain way you did them ? Id post my pic but the site is having problems uploading pics ! Gorgeous cake though :)

I made a template out of acetate paper from the template I found on cakecentral. Then rub some shortening on it so it sticks to your rolled out fondant. I used an exacto knife to cut out the shape around the acetate. I also greased the blade of the knife so it would glide through the fondant and not stick.
