3-D Purse Cake

I did this 3D purse cake for a friend's 50th birthday party. She was so into fashion and pretty things, so she wanted a purse cake in 3-D. So that's what she got! It was chocolate cake sculpted in the shape of a handbag, and then covered in chocolate fondant to look like leather. It had light brown fondant edging and little stitching marks made by my fondant cutter wheel. The handle was wire covered in fondant, and it had fondant daisy flowers for decoration. Another fun part to this cake was the fondant pearl bracelet which had a lovely pearl dust sheen!
