Cake Tools: Travel Bag

Sometimes finding an idea for a cake design doesn’t come easily. When that happens I take an ordinary object…say a vintage leather travel bag, and apply sentimental items made out of sugar.  This creates an uber-personalized cake. Here are some tools to create the basic shape.

• Handbag Class
• Distressed Leather Mat
• Bridle Buckle mold
• Zipper mold
• Gum Paste
• Chocolate fondant
• Stitching Wheel
• Gold Dust
• Paper-covered wires
• Round pastry tips
