Fashion purse - that's a cake??

I've been wanting to try my hand at a fashion purse cake for a while, but was slightly daunted by the task.  Finally I decided to enter a cake into a local church's bake off, and thought what better way to practice a new skill and new design.
This is a sculpted red velvet cake with white chocolate ganache and marshmallow fondant.  Accents are made with a fondant/gum paste mixture.  This was a lot of fun to make, and the late nights were worth it!




Most requested cake

My most requested cake is what I am now calling Life by Chocolate (because really, isn't death by chocolate a bit morbid?).  It is my triple chocolate fudge caramel toffee chip cake.  It's a mouthful - both literally and figuratively.

I start with a cake that has three different types of chocolate in it, include a chocolate fudge pudding.  Layer it with a creamy, yummy caramel filling, sprinkled with toffee chips.  Now the fun part!  I have three different kinds of icing that I can use to frost it with.

Chocolate buttercream.

Chocolate caramel whipped frosting.

Dark chocolate butter frosting (a cooked frosting).

All three truly make the mouth come alive with pleasure!
