This was a cake for Lizzy's best friend, Clare. These two are inseperable. They had a purse party. Lizzy loved it. 1 hour before I had to deliver this cake (a couple houses down the street) Trevor decided that he now knew how to open the fridge and yanked the handle off the purse. That's why teh handle is a little crooked. The shoe is gumpaste/fondant mix. The pearl necklace is made up of fondant balls rolled in luster dust then strun on a thick thred using a quilting needle. The purse is cake covered in fondant. It was a white rasberry swirl cake with a creme broquet swiss meringe buttercream. Very yummy. The shoe and purse are kinda sloppy. So is the fondant covering the cake so don't look too closely. Also, the color of the flowers and the ball border did not turn out how I was expecting it to. It was supposed to be more of a bright pinkish burgandy but I just couldn't get the color right. It kept turning greyish purple. Oh well.

"Mexican Cliche Cake"

Here's the "Mexican Cliche Cake" that I made for Jacob's cousin when he came up to go to the MTC. Obviously, he's going to Mexico on his mission. Pretty funny, huh? The chilis that make out his name are all from fondant. The BOM is a fondant/gumpate mixture and the taco and sombrero are gumpaste. I used a fork to get the texture on the taco shell, then pained it.
