AOkay so I am doing a Vic Secret bag for Dec 26, 2013. I was wondering.... 1.) What size should I make it? 9x11 two layers or 12x18 single layer 2,) What would you use to make the Victoria secret lettering. A pen, Fondant, etc.. 3.) Is there a pattern for the letters? 4.) Is it possible to make tissue effect with out having a pasta maker
thanks in advance
here's a bunch of pictures including a real bag--
i'd end up free hand piping the lettering --
you could get a real vs shopping bag and tape over the letters front and back with clear tape then cut the letters out with an xacto knife -- use the letters or the negative of the letters as your pattern -- this is a very ticky tedious thing to do--cutting out stencils is an art form in itself--you might could find a real letter stencil much easier that would work great
i think i would paint the letters or maybe use edible ink markers---you could use a sponge and dab luster dust into the stencil then pipe the outline--
measure the bag and make it that size -- or if you want it smaller--reduce each measurement by the same percentage to keep the right proportion--i'm sure you need at least a two layer cake--
you can roll fondant thin and wrinkle/ruffle it up like in the photos to mimic tissue paper--no you don't need a pasta machine--
hope it all goes very well

i hadn't looked at the lettering too close--cutting them out is a ridiculous idea--the font is far too small--
eyeball it i guess that's what i would do
AThank you so mmuuuucchh! That helps with my plan...
how do you put the cake in upright position? since the base is small, won't it fall off or tear up?
i thought op was making the shopping bag laying down--
but if you want it standing up--you make a two or three tier cake all the same size rectangle shaped tiers--all stacked up tall--with a piece of foam underneath the bottom board to affix some skewers into -- you still have to be real careful with it but that's how i do it
ottimi spunti per realizzare delle cake!!!!!
