I am blessed to have many wonderful people in my life. One inspirational person is my friend Michelle Thelen. She has recently launched a fun and fashionable handbag company called Lucy Grey. A week or so ago there was a pre-launch party for Michelle and we were able to see (and touch!) these fabulous bags. Trust me, they are beautiful.
It was a pleasure making this cake for Michelle. What I think is so great about her bags is that they have the option of an accessory, such as a bloom or a brooch, thus the ivory sugar paste peony on her cake. Another great thing about this company is that the handbags are made in Michigan. I think that is just wonderful.

I could not be more excited for her and this new adventure! Bonne Chance, Michelle!
The cake process:
We began with three 9x13 Kahlua Fudge cakes filled with buttercream frosting.
Next came the carving...
Then the fondant...piece by piece...
The ivory sugar paste peony.
The handles drying overnight.
Very nice, and how cute is the idea of putting brooches on a purse!?!
ReplyDeleteI saw the thumbnail first and thought, "Why is she blogging about a handbag instead of cake?" I'm a fool, and you do great work!
