Purse Cake

I have really wanted to try a purse cake and add it to my portfolio. My mom happens to love purses and has gone through many of them. One of her favorites was a denim louis vuitton. I thought I'd try to create something similar for her birthday. It was difficult and time consuming. There is a lot I would do differently next time but I think it turned out well. When my grandmother saw it, she thought it was fake. She also thought the cupcake was fake as well until she touched the cherry on top and realized they were cakes. Ha ha!

Cake Class

I taught my first cake decorating class tonight and it went way better than I thought it would. I've been running around like a mad woman this week and didn't quite have my thoughts together before the class started and I was worried I wouldn't have enough butter cream and supplies. I also had to bring my kids with me and even though my little sister came to help watch them, I thought they'd be awful and distracting. Luckily I was wrong about everything. Some how the class seemed to flow pretty well, there was exactly enough butter cream, and my kids were angels! I taught a group of super fun ladies and had a blast! We worked on butter cream cakes and I demonstrated the fondant. This is the cake I made for the class. I wanted everyone to try a fondant cake to see how cool fondant can be and that it's not as horrible tasting as people say. I promised to post recipes on here and I plan on it but I'm exhausted! Hopefully I'll get it done within the next couple of days. Thanks to everyone who came!
