Are you looking to create a stunning centerpiece for your next event or celebration? Why not make a Chanel-inspired fondant bag? This chic and sophisticated dessert will have your guests talking and admiring your culinary skills.
To create a Chanel fondant bag, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 batch of your favorite cake recipe
- 1 batch of buttercream frosting
- 1 batch of fondant icing
- Edible gold dust
- Food coloring (black, white, and pink)
Step 1: Bake the Cake
Start by baking your favorite cake recipe in a rectangular pan. Once the cake has cooled, use a serrated knife to level the top of the cake. Cut the cake into two equal halves lengthwise.
Step 2: Prepare the Buttercream Frosting
Next, prepare your buttercream frosting. Using an electric mixer, beat together softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake Layers
Take one half of the cake and spread a layer of buttercream frosting on top. Place the other half on top of this layer with the cut side facing down. Spread another layer of buttercream frosting on top of this second layer.
Step 4: Cover with Fondant Icing
Roll out your fondant icing on a clean surface dusted with powdered sugar. Once it’s large enough to cover your assembled cake, carefully drape it over the cake. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles with your hands or a smoothing tool.
Step 5: Create Chanel Logo and Handle
To create the iconic Chanel logo, mix black food coloring with edible gold dust and paint it onto the fondant. You can use a stencil or freehand the design.
For the handle, roll out a long, thin strip of fondant and shape it into a handle. Use white fondant to create the stitching on the handle.
Step 6: Add Finishing Touches
Finally, use pink food coloring to add a pop of color to your bag. You can paint pink stripes on the front and back of the bag or add a pink bow.
And there you have it – your very own Chanel-inspired fondant bag! This dessert is sure to impress your guests and make your event unforgettable.
