Gucci Handbag Cake & Fondant High Heel Shoes

Painting the handbag cake
I put the dragees on by hand
The handbag cake is an actual pistachio almond cake on the inside underneath the fondant. I looked at the real handbag and eye-balled the measurements. After dyeing the fondant pink, I rolled it out and cut out the pieces one by one. I used by buttercream “glue” to stick it the pieces together and then edible paints and markers to add the finishing touches. Gold dragees are edible sugar decorations that I use to add a little luxury to my cakes.
Fondant High Heel Shoes
The fondant high heel shoes were made a few days in advance to set and dry into the perfect shape. She brought me a designer shoe from her closet so I just had to look at it to replicate it.
The birthday girl’s first initial is H so I thought it would be cute to use the letter H on the handbag. The cake was a big hit at the party and a definite conversation piece. We had the pleasure of watching guests walk by the cake and admire the craftsmanship.
