All my June favourites are inspired by the upcoming purse cake. You can however still use my favourites for other individual cake projects.

Cake boards: I always like to finish my cakes, when possible, with a cake board. It just really complete the look of the whole cake. I like to cover my cake boards with fondant and a pretty ribbon. Use coordinating colours and the result will be just perfect! You can see some examples here. Single cake board:

Or as a double cake board (two cake boards glued together):

Edible lustre dusts:
I used some pretty lustre dusts for the brooch. The colours are:
Pearl/SK, Iced Pine/EA, Golden Sands/EA and are from EdAble Art and Squires Kitchen.
Lustre dusts for cakes
Tylo powder:
Tylo powder for cake decoration
Maybe one of the best helpers in my toolbox. Tylo powder helps the fondant to dry fast and holds it’s shape. It is also an important ingredient for Tylo glue, the best glue to use, when I need to attach decorations on my cakes.

Happy Caking!
