i've just made my first purse cake (in my pics) and i was surprised that it was easier than i had expected. i would make sure next time to use a sturdy dense cake for carving, make sure you put a foam core board in the middle of your stacked cakes for support and then dowel through the whole structure. have fun and good luck! can't wait to see the pics!!

Thanks!
