I was just sitting home one Saturday and decided to try making purse cakes. I remembered a YouTube site I had seen and decided to make my own. I baked a 6 inch round cake layer and cut it in half shaping it the way I wanted the hand bag to be. I iced each one with butter cream and covered them with fondant icing. It was a little hard at first but it all came together. The handles are fondant also.
You make them and glue them to the purse with gum paste glue which is a little piece of gum paste mix with a little water to make a glue. What ever color you want your cake just color your fondant first. Enjoy making your handbags, I did,shaping them was fun. The more I shape the ideas were just coming to me how to design them. After the cakes are complete put them on cake rounds to get firm.
How creative! Something special for someone special. Really nice made with much care. Delicate purses.
