you did a beautiful job on the detail!!! going in my faves!!!

thank you, you guys are so sweet. The client said that they loved it. I left it on an armoire type counter in their dining room and she said all the girls thought that someone bought the bride to be a purse, what a compliment:)

THAT IS SO GOOD!!!!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS A REAL PUSE AT FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!

What a cake! How did this one slip by me????? Fantastic!

Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special:) I started this cake late in the afternoon after I finished a hunting wedding cake, so I would hope in future I would be a bit quicker on it. I started construction at about 3:30 in the afternoon and finished the detail work at about 3:30 am. I think the detail work took about 4 hours. Thanks again for the wonderful comments:)

Sorry, so all together about 12 hours or so.

This is wonderful! Dare I ask, how long did this take?

8O Im out of words 8O This is the best purse cake I have seen, no doub about it!

I'm speechless! It's amazingly beautiful. It looks EXACTLY like a real Vera Bradley. A true artist.

I truly am speechless!! Absolutely amazing!! Your detail is so amazing. Did you do flood work on this or what exactly did you do? I am in awe!!!!

thanks MissRobin, I flooded a bit of it, but most of it is royal overlaying fondant. I just cut out some patterns and then added dimension with the royal.

that is so nice of you both:)

Amazing. What kind of fondant did you use?

This is just gorgeous! Outstanding work!

This looks so real. I love it.

Gosh this is soooo realistic, the dip on top and bulging sides make it look cushy...beautiful work!!

WOW! Awesome job! I wouldn't cut it!

You guys are fantastic, thank you so much, I was worn out from another cake by the time I got to this one, so it took me quite a bit longer than I expected. I think 12 hours total, 3 to 4 of the hours was on royal icing detail work

Incredible!

katerpillrgrl, I used satin ice dark choc. fondant

Wow! the detail is incredible! Great job!

8O amazing

Ok... you are simply the BEST!!!! Teach me...tell me...how did you get the strap edges so wonderfully smooth and perfect?

WOW! I'm speachless. Beautiful job and art work. Truly not a cake, but a work of art. I wouldn't be able to cut into that one!

I think this might be the most comments I've ever gotten, thank you:) The flavor of this one was almond with alternating layers of raspberry filling and raspberry flavored and colored buttercream. The cake total took about 12 hrs. about 4 of those hrs. was for the detail work, hopefully I can cut the time down to about 6 hrs. the next time, since I figured out the construction on it. I just cut the strap using a 2in. wide wheel cutter then I used a small diamond impression mat and made the pattern an...

then I took a little wheel tool that makes a stitching effect and ran that down both sides of the strap.

I don't know who Vera Bradley is, but this bag is INCREDIBLE!

omg, this is one of the most beautiful bag cakes i've ever seen. good cake art is about evoking emotion and you've done this so well.

This bag is brilliant....I love the art work detail it lovely. 8O

:oops: :oops: thank you so much

thanks pinkbox, the planning time was not that long, all I did was go online, find the purse, and pick what part of the pattern I wanted to duplicate. Figuring out where to start on the cake took a while though :D

Thank you, WOW works for me :lol:

Thanks Melchris, it is just a stitching wheel that I think PME sells; it is yellow with white ends. I think I got it from www.beryl

sorry, www.beryls.com

Good work.
