This elegant and stylish cake is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or any special event. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make your very own Chanel purse cake.
Materials Needed
To create this beautiful cake, you will need the following materials:
- 2 round cakes (8 inches in diameter)
- Buttercream frosting
- Fondant icing (black and white)
- Sugar glue or edible glue
- Rolling pin
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
- Cake board
- Chanel logo stencil (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Bake two round cakes and let them cool completely.
Step 2: Cut off the top of one of the cakes to level it out.
Step 3: Place a layer of buttercream frosting on top of the leveled cake.
Step 4: Stack the second cake on top of the frosted one, making sure it is centered.
Step 5: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to carve out the shape of the purse. Start by cutting out a half-moon shape at the top of the cake. Then cut two diagonal lines from either side of the half-moon down to create an angled bottom.
Step 6: Cover the entire cake in a thin layer of buttercream frosting. This will help hold the fondant icing in place and create a smoother finish.
Step 7: Roll out the black fondant icing to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Step 8: Carefully drape the black fondant icing over the cake, smoothing it out with your hands as you go. Trim off any excess fondant around the edges of the cake.
Step 9: Use a stencil or freehand cut out the iconic Chanel logo from white fondant icing.
Step 10: Attach the white Chanel logo to the center of the cake using sugar glue or edible glue.
Step 11: Roll out a thin strip of black fondant icing and attach it around the edges of the cake to create a border.
Step 12: Roll two small balls of black fondant and attach them to either side of the purse to create handles.
Step 13: Finally, place your beautiful Chanel purse cake on a cake board and serve it up!
Tips for Success
- If you’re having trouble getting your fondant icing smooth, try using a fondant smoother or a clean, dry piece of fabric.
