re: Louis Vuitton bag cake

Hi Pat
Thanks for your lovely comments. For the cake I made a large sheet cake and cut it into 4 which i then stacked, this gave me the height I needed, I made a template of the shape I wanted and used this as a guide for carving. Once I had the shape, I butter creamed the cake and covered in fondant. I made a stencil for the logos, I used a sponge to apply the gold colour. The handles are plastic tubing wrapped in fondant – this provides the support for them to stand up. Hope this helps, good luck!
