The Fashionista's Purse

Every Girl Needs One in Her Closet or Should I say On her Table!

It was so much fun getting this cake done with Esther Lee Leach. We wanted to do something fashionable and edible, so what would be better than a 'purse cake' with some accessories!

I was nervous putting together my first purse-cake but luckily I had support and great ideas from my co-cake decorator for the day, thanks Esther!




Items Needed:

• two 6 inch square cakes 
• ruler (used only for cakes)
• *ganache (mixture of chocolate and heavy cream)
• fondant - colors of your choice (this chart can be used to determine the amounts needed)
• alligator/crocodile skin Impression Mat 
• cake leveler/serrated Knife 
• 6 inch cake board carved into the shape of the cake (most like the base will be 5 inches)
• 8 inch cake board

*visit this site for ganache recipes and for lots more information on ganache
