My little sister turned 18 last week and we celebrated her birthday party this weekend! She is all about fashion, design and shopping (and her cell phone 
). This cake was all about her. My older sister and I designed and created this together – another fine S&S creation Some details…
The purse and the shopping bag are cake, covered in fondant. The tissue in the gift bag is gumpaste. The handles on the purse are fondant as are all the decor – except the piping…which Shelly painstakingly piped for THREE hours! She has a cramped hand now 
But she did a great job! Meanwhile I put together the gift bag and dress model. The model is all fondant that I sculpted and then made a fondant dress for. It is embellished with some piping. We finished off the “Louis Vuitton” handbag with both tan and gold painted embellishments (including a zipper pull that Shelly embossed with a LV logo. Its all about the details, folks The shoe and cell phone I made a few days earlier from gumpaste. They are painted with luster dust to shimmer.
In the end it took us just about all day to do this cake….lots of putzy time (and kids interrupting) went into this! But well worth it.
