I never had such a hard time with a cake before. The client requested a LV handbag cake....easy enough....well...........so I thought...
Somebody put the evil eye on me because I never had so many problems in my life! My fondant kept ripping...my pieces kept breaking....I swear I thought the cakeboard was possessed!! I completely took off the fondnat and re-did it and I literally sat up all night to finish it and now I am exhausted with 2 more cakes to decorate by the morning. (and...now I'm short a batch of fondant....dh is at the supermarket for more sugar right now! ....is there a sleepy emotican?
I know it's nothing original, but here it is....
That cake is beautiful. I would not even know where to start doing that one!! Try not to stay up too late!
It might not be an original, but it's totally gorgeous. you wouldnever know it caused you any pain!
absolutely awesome!! Beautiful work!!! I only dream about being that good.
Sorry it gave you such fits. I had a cake that I almost threw in the trash last week, but I walked away and took a deep breath and went back and finished it.
Deep breath, something cold to drink and tackle the others!! You can do it!!
Awww...bless you're heart....go have a cold margarita, lol, sometimes that makes me more creative! You're cake looks AMAZING!
Don't want to offend but I just wanted to know how much you charged for this cake I have someone that wants something like this and I don't know what to charge. Your cakes are absolutely beautiful you can see you put your heart and soul into them!
You are the most awesome cake decorator/artist in the world! This is beautiful. I love your cakes.
I wanna be like you................

Julie...that is the sweetest thing anybody ever said to me...but, the way I feel right now...I doubt you even want to be in the same room as me!
Thanks everyone....
Cheekysweets....no offense taken at all.....I only charged $5.00 per serving for this....but it was the first one I ever did....I now know what it takes to make it and in the future will charge double for sculpted cakes. I consider myself very able to manipulate fondant...and this one just ....blech!!! I don't even want to think about it anymore!
problems that looks like perfection to me,you should be more than happy with this cake

Haaaaaaa....I just realized that I forgot to add the gold grommets that go on the leather details.! Holy #@*% !!!!!!! I told you guys....this cake did not want to be made!
As I told you in a pm, your cakes are amazing, and this one is no exception! It's gorgeous, but I'm sorry you had to stay up all night! Hope you can get some rest.

I gotta tell ya, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Since I have been on CC you have been the one I watch and see consistantly gorgeous cakes and If I could learn from you I would jump at the chance. I see this cake as no exception. It is beautiful and I am truly sorry it was so frustrating. Learning experiences can suck! Gorgeous cake though. Great job!!!!!!! I truly truly meant what I said though. This is not just a "make them feel better" post!
Your work is simply stunning.
I admire Y'all who work with the fondant. Especially when you go to lengths like this.
Truly an artist!

especially for how you get the little designs so perfect (and embossed?) and the letter logo so accurate too.
