I have a request for a rum cake in the shape of a Chanel purse. The typical rum cake is of course completely drenched in rum and butter. I obviously can't drench the outside of the cake. Do you think it would work if I drenched each layer?? Would it hold up to a stand up purse? What should I use as a filling?? Icing flavor?

Thanks in advance everyone!!!

I'm not sure if it would work or not. But i would try it for sure..i mean how tough would it be to have to eat that disaster? Bot they would make great cake balls?

I think you should explain your clients that sculpted cakes can't be made with just any cake, it needs a firm one, that wont fall apart or drip. play it safe with sculpted cakes so the reach their destiny intact

can you sub rum extract for part of your water to the cake mix? still have the rum flavor and the strength you need to carve it.
