Red Tapestry Suitcase

Red Tapestry Suitcase on Cake Central

This was 1 of 2 suitcase cakes that I made for a retirement party. I think I went a bit overboard on the design (piping) so I didn't get paid NEARLY what I would have asked for had I not already made the quote before I decided on a pattern! This is two 1/4 sheet cakes stacked, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. All of the decorations are buttercream except for the travel stickers which were edible images.

Thanks guys! To tell the truth, after I piped the top and one short side, I began to come to the realization that I no longer had the patience to pipe in the other short side and two long ones! But at that point I was committed and had to stick to it until it was done - cursing myself for having foolishly chosen such a design. I felt MUCH better about it after it was completed though!
