Hi. I want to make a LV purse cake...the brown one with the gold logo. Can someone tell me how to get that color brown? Also, is there a template for the stitching/zipper/attachment pieces. How do I know what size to make these? Any help is appreciated. Also, do I put the cake on a cake board to fir the cake or on a bigger one?TIA

Here are all the purse threads.

(Unfortunately, the links to the templates are obsolete since the photo galleries update. But this info is still available under sketches and templates.)
