I turned 30 last week & I decided to put together my two favorite things - purses & cake! This was my second purse cake. I'm happy with the way this one turned out. I had problems with the handle, but I know I should've used gumpaste instead of fondant/gumpaste mix. I painted the C's with a stencil then sprayed the cake with pearl luster spray. The shoe is a gumpaste shoe. There was some sagging in the heal for some reason - I guess it needed more support and the mold wasn't quite tall enough for the heal so there was a little cracking. The perfume bottle is styrofoam. I hope you like it! TFL!
