good morning i was wondering if any one know who to start a diaper bag cake. i know how to use fondant very well. i just need to know how to stack the cake to make it look like the bag is standing up.

These are the instructions by helipops (check her diaper bags, they are gorgeous):

How nice to have instructions like that posted. Good luck with your cake! I would love to see your final project.

Thanks, ngfcake!

The question I get asked most, over my entire tutorial website, is how I made the zipper for the diaper bag cake. I'll have my webdude fix it when I have some other work for him to do at the same time (hopefully I'll have new pages up in a couple weeks) but for now:

I used the food-safe molding compounds available at makeyourownmolds.com to mold a heavy jacket zipper. I picked the heavy jacket zipper because the teeth are larger and therefore would be easier to mold. I took the pull off the zipper and molded it separately. I now have a reusable mold for both parts that is ready to go whenever I want to make a zipper.

HTH,
Deanna
