How Do You Make a Chanel Bag Cake?

If you’re a fan of Chanel bags, then why not take it to the next level and make a Chanel bag cake? It’s a fun and creative way to express your love for fashion and baking. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make your very own Chanel bag cake.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before you begin, make sure you have all of the necessary supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 9×13-inch sheet cakes (baked and cooled)
  • Buttercream frosting
  • Fondant (black and white)
  • Fondant rolling pin
  • Cake board or serving platter
  • Piping bag with round tip
  • Small paintbrush
  • Cocoa powder (optional)

Step 2: Cut and Assemble the Cakes

Using a sharp knife, cut one of the sheet cakes in half lengthwise. Place one half on top of the other half, creating a rectangular shape. This will be the base of your Chanel bag.

Cut the other sheet cake in half lengthwise as well. Take one half and cut it into two equal pieces. These will be the sides of your bag.

Take the remaining half of the second sheet cake and cut out two small rectangles for the handles.

Step 3: Frost the Cake

Using buttercream frosting, cover all sides of your cake with a thin layer to create a base for your fondant.

Step 4: Cover with Fondant

Roll out black fondant to about 1/8 inch thickness. Gently place it over your cake, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles as you go.

Next, roll out white fondant to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out two rectangles for the front flap and two thin strips for the piping.

Attach the rectangles to the front of your cake using a small amount of water. Attach the piping strips around the edges of your cake using a small paintbrush to apply water.

Step 5: Add Details

Using white fondant, cut out the Chanel logo and attach it to the front of your cake using a small amount of water. Use cocoa powder to give it a slightly aged look. Attach the handles to the top of your cake using toothpicks.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Finally, add any additional details you wish, such as stitching or buttons made from fondant.

There you have it – your very own Chanel bag cake! It may take some time and effort, but it’s sure to impress all of your fashion-loving friends. Enjoy!
