Purse Cake

To make this purse cake, I baked a 9" x 13" cake and cut it into 3 pieces the same size.

Later I realized I could have used my small oval pans and I wouldn't have had to trim the cake!

The first time is always a learning experience.

I made some fondant thanks Nancy for the recipe and patience talking me through it! and covered the entire cake. boy do I need practice on that!!!!!!

I cut the pieces of the purse out of fondant that I colored brown. I used little pearl colored edible beads Not a clue what they're called, I can't get the gold or silver ones around here and put along the trim of the purse.

I bought a new pattern tracing wheel and used it on the fondant to make the 'stitches'. It worked wonderfully.

I also iced the cake in buttercream before I applied the fondant.
