Surprise Handbag Birthday Cake



Online Cake Decorating Class

The Story behind this Cake


 Surprise!!!!!! Which is exactly what happened when I delivered the cake to my sisters belated surprise party. She has always been there for me and every year for her birthday I try to make something extra nice. Especially this year since I had to miss my sisters real birthday due to other cake obligations.

 So I thought??.... Why not try to make a replica of her favorite handbag plus her little shoe trinket!!!! Many hours and experiments later I think I managed to get the look just right! 

For this project I have used many materials that were very foreign to me but now that I have tried them, I can't live without them.

The cake itself was a six layer Neapolitan, two layers of chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, Vanilla bean cake with vanilla bean buttercream and lastly strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream.

The handles were made from a 50/50 mix of gumpaste and fondant with a hidden wire to support them. 
My sisters shoe was a whole other ballpark!!! I tried many methods but did not get the results I wanted. So I made my own mold using a basic recipe of salt,water and cornstarch. For the shoe key chain I used Satin Ice gumpaste in white, once they were dry, I used vodka and Gold Highlighter, Silver and pink dust for details. I also used Craftsy online class "Designer Handbag Cakes by Elisa Strauss" Worth every penny!!! 


Materials: 
  • Black fondarific- best stuff ever!
  •  Foam boards 
  • Satin ice gumpaste
  •  Wooden board Gold 
  •  Silver,Gold and Pink highlighter dust 
  • Stitching tool 
  • Goosebump silicone mat from marvelous molds
