I love that with each order I'm challenged to do something a little better, a little differently, a little more outside the box. So when one of those fantastic customers came to me asking for a purse cake * you can carry * I said, why not?
This is the picture we started with. The blingy top and ostrich feather sides could be considered a big enough challenge on any day.

Here's the finished beauty........
which with the help of my trusted assistant (and hand model)........
is ready to go for a night on the town!
Midnight snack anyone?
Now I am one of those people who will take on a project like this, complete it, and then spend the rest of the day lamenting what I should have done different/better. But today, I am just going to sit back and enjoy this little moment of cake magic :)
For the cake geeks: It's entirely edible with the exception of the chain. The blinged-out top is dragees, isomalt jewels & gum paste shapes. The "feathers" are made of shredded rice paper, airbrushed with silver shimmer.
This post also marks my return to blogging! I make no promises about the frequency with which this will occur, but will do my best to share what's going on at this little cake shop of mine!
