This was just a fun cake celebrating a 50th Birthday. When designing a cake with a client I often ask if that person has a special hobby or something really important in his or her life. In this case, the recipient loves to travel, and in fact just returned from a trip abroad. Having never tackled a suitcase cake before, I jumped at the chance! I absolutely love designing something for the first time!
First we had to start with our cake. You cannot bake a suitcase, you need to carve it. It started as two 7" square cakes with buttercream filling in the middle.
After covering the cake with chocolate fondant and adorning it will a few details, such as the handle and buckles, we ended up with a petite suitcase!
