The purse cake

July 26, 2011 by CJ [email protected] 71 Comments

Purse cake with gum paste brooch
This is my finished purse cake and I am really satisfied with the final result. The gum paste brooch looks really gorgeous on the purse cake. It’s amazing how a simple round cake can be turned into something very chic!

I have been taking photos of the process, so now I only need to edit the photos and write a tutorial. I hope that you like my purse cake too?

Happy Caking!

Louise

      I use Photo Shop and play around with my camera. The best days for taking photos are on cloudy days. Direct sunlight can be too much sometimes and you would need to soften the light with white fabric.
