I am going to try a purse cake for the first time. I saw the article on how to do it, but does anyone have a template for the fondant peices? I have never carved a cake in anyway so I am so nervous.....
Any pointers?
Thanks

I have never made a bag before but I found these instructions for a diaper bag - you could try a variation of these instructions.

Hope that helps!

**Edited to show that I found this link How to Make a Purse Cake... I don't remember if you had seen it yet.

If you've never carved a cake before - just be sure your cake is cold before you go at it with a knife. We stick our into the freezer for 1/2-1 hr.
