Purse Cake






Yesterday was my first attempt at the increasingly popular trend of "purse" cakes.  The birthday girl wanted a pink and purple color scheme with lots of cosmetics!  I made the make-up from modeling chocolate (both white and dark), sugarpaste, sugar glass (I sculpted it to look like nail polish and a lip gloss tube), and fondant.  I wasn't too happy that stamping the child's name on the fondant made it ripple, but hopefully she didn't care!

The cake was marble, three layers, filled with cream cheese, and iced with vanilla Italian Meringue Buttercream, per request.
