Louis Vuitton Cake

For one of my best friend’s bridal shower’s we decided to make the theme designer handbags since she is so fond of them. I of course had to make a designer handbag cake to go with it. I actually made two different cakes. For the Louis Vuitton cake I made my signature Witch’s Brew cake with chocolate ganache frosting and filling. I stacked four rectangular cakes and then carved them to get the shape of the handbag. After stacking the first two cakes I used lollipop sticks as supports for the next two layers so that the cake wouldn’t collapse. I covered it in chocolate fondant and then hand painted the Louis Vuitton pattern onto the cake. The handles are made of fondant as well. I had inserted some florist wire in them for support then let them harden before attaching to the cake.

This is the second cake I made for my friend’s bridal shower. I had made her a coach bag once before for her birthday, but that one was laying down so this is a little different. The cake was pecan cake with blackberry curd filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. I stacked the 4 rectangular cakes and carved them to get the shape of the purse. I covered it in purple fondant, then added the bow, handles, and signature COACH tag which were all fondant as well.
