Handbag for Sarah

This Handbag Cake was done a day in advance for Sarah's birthday. The name tag and handle was made with marzipan (hence the visible cracks and rough edges). Eventhough marzipan was not so smooth, it does not tastes as bad due to the presence of almond in sugar (marzipan). A smoother finish was a result of using fondant (more sugar content) for the white outline and 'belt'. I created chocolate fudge for the dark chocolate layer. This Handbag Cake is about 5" x 9".
