Purse Cake

OK so this was my first attempt at a purse cake. Not too bad for my first one!
I did not want to do it in fondant because I wanted it to taste good without having to peel off the fondant and throw it away so...this was done with mostly buttercream and some fondant accents.

So here are some start to finish pics.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN!!!!
I hope you enjoyed your cake  :)

OK so here it is...my very first blog.

I really have no idea where I am gonna go with this but for now, I am going to use it as a place to show off my latest cake/cupcake creations.
Since this is my first post...I am going to just put a whole bunch of pics up from things that me and/or my sister have created and after this, I will upload them as they are made.

This is my newest creation. It is the cake I made for the final class in my Wilton Course 2 Flowers and Cake Design class. It's a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache buttercream inside and vanilla buttercream outside.

Random flowers I made for my cake.

This cake is chocolate with chocolate chips and it is hollowed out and filled with strawberries and whipped cream. mmmmmm yummy! (Tastes much better than it looks)
