Black and Red Gucci Handbag Cake

I was called on by a customer whose wife loves Gucci, and he wanted to surprise her for a birthday party in Atlantic City NJ. He chose a handbag design with red, black and white colors, and the fondant is embossed with the Gucci logo. Inside is a white vanilla cake with strawberry cream filling, carved into a Gucci handbag.

Cake Decorating Class - Handbags

Earlier in the summer we held a cake decorating class to demonstrate how to make a handbag cake. It was a fun group and we had a great time.

We learned how to carve the cake into a handbag shape and then crumb coat the cake. Once the cake was slightly chilled we added a final coat of buttercream and then covered it with a piece of rolled fondant.

Finally each of the students chose whatever decoration they wanted to complete the bag design: fondant bows, cutouts, stripes, polka dots etc..

Special thanks to Lisa, Nancy and Cora for organizing the class.

Juicy Couture Handbag Cake

This Juicy Couture handbag cake was created for a Sweet Sixteen party at the Regency House Hotel in Pompton Plains NJ.

The handbag is made with walnut almond cake and homemade dulce de leche buttercream. It is covered in a pink fondant and decorated with pink and chocolate fondant bows and assorted hanging charms, plus a personalized key chain.



The bag is placed on a quilted pink cushion made with red velvet cake and white chocolate ganache filling. A trim surrounds the cushion and has pink fondant tassles at each corner.

Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 Handbag Cake

We got to visit the very trendy W Hotel in Hoboken NJ to deliver this Louis Vuitton handbag cake, which is a detailed replica of a Speedy 25 model in Monogram Canvas. We cut all the handles and trimmings to look like the real cowhide leather, but of course all edible. The alternating chocolate fudge cake and vanilla cake layers were filled with Madagascar vanilla bean buttercream and chocolate mousse. The birthday party was held in the Chandelier Room.

Marc Jacobs Handbag Cake

As promised, here is the Marc Jacobs handbag cake that I created for the Black & White themed Fundraiser at Bloomingdales in Bridgewater Mall NJ. We modeled our cake on a Black Quilted Bruna Tote.

Louis Vuitton Handbag Cake

Phew! We did it! The Louis Vuitton handbag cake turned out very smart. A lot of layers of chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate fondant too!

As we assembled the cake and all the pieces came together it really did start to look like the real thing. Now where did I put my car keys? Hopefully whoever eats the cake will find them!
