What mom wouldn't love a fabulous purse for Mother's Day? This is all cake, deep dark chocolate with caramel buttercream, stacked and carved. I used "cake spackle" for the first time to hold it together as it was tall and narrow. It's covered in fondant, used a textured rolling pin for the flaps. The medallion on the (fondant) bracelet has mom's initial on it. the gold details were painted with a mix of metallic gold airbrush color and luster dust. Flowers are mom's favorite daisies made of gumpaste. the ONLY non-edible is that there's wire in the handle.

Scrapbooking paper...what a clever idea. I'm going to remember that, for a future cake.

Thanks, everyone! Becky, I apologize that it took so long to get back to you! The board is covered in scrapbooking paper, then clear contact paper, and finished off with a ribbon. Since the cake itself is on its own board, it doesn't touch the contact paper. I have been waiting and waiting to have a cake on which I could use that particular paper. It's one of my favorites.
