Chanel Bag & Shoe 40Th Birthday Cake

Customer requested pink, black and white, and let me have free-reign with this design and theme. He only said that his wife is super-girly, so I couldn't wait to do this cake!....CONFESSION: this is my FIRST attempt at doing a Chanel bag, and second time doing a shoe. That Chanel logo gave me FITS! I have been doing cakes for about a year now and am slowing teaching myself these techniques, so I welcome any tips that you pros can give me, in trying to make this purse look more realistic! I have seen some bags on this site that are AMAZING!!! Base tier is a 9 inch round, vanilla cake, vanilla BC and covered in Satin Ice Fondant. Fondant zebra pattern, ribbon and flower. Dusted with Pearl lustre. Dragees to center of flower. Purse is constructed from 9x13 cake, cut into thirds and stacked, chocolate cake with vanilla BC. Covered in Fondarific Black fondant. Fondant straps, zipper, etc. Shoe is made from Black fondant with tylose powder. I sprinkled lots of rainbow disco dust on the flower, ribbon and cake board, so it's pretty sparkly, but hard to tell in the pic! Everything is edible with this cake, except the scrap book lettering on the cake board. Thanks for looking!
