Simple Mini Bag Tutorial

As I promised, I'm going to show you how I made my mini bag cupcake topper.

What I did was so simple, you could make them more glamorous by putting 1mm silver dragees on both ends of the bag handle. You can paint it any way you want, make a quilt impression, or maybe change it's shape into square, oblong, rectangular or even tube shaped. It was inspired from the bakehappy.blogspot tutorials. How I wish I had so much time to make different designs so I can show all of you my design ideas. Maybe when I have the time to make, I'll definitely going to show it on my blog.

So here it is... my mini bag cupcake topper tutorial.

Materials:

Fondant with tylose(any color u like) brown and faint pink

water brush

exacto knife

tracing wheel(with the stitching tool on the other side)

round scallop cutter

Cut fondant and turn it into a ball so you can see if they are all look the same in size.

Flatten the ball slightly with your palm.

Stand the flattened ball and then press the sides.

Roll fondant into a thin rope.

Attach the rope on both sides of the bag.

For the zipper, I used the same fondant rope.

Flatten it using your finger.

to make a zipper design, use the tracing wheel tool or a knife fondant tool.

For the handles, cut fondant ropes with the same length (about 1.5" or slightly longer than that)

Flatten both ends using your finger and bend them forming a 'U' shape.

Attach the handle. At this time you can add silver dragees on both flattened ends of the handle. 

Or you can add miniature flower or heart fondant at the center of the bag. Paint it anyway you want.

Just use your imagination and creativity too. :)

 I took a picture of the bags with my fingers too because I want to show you how small it is.

For the base, cut white fondant using the round scalloped cutter.

So that's it! So simple right!? Next blog....my tutorial on how I made the LV Bag cake topper.

Every Woman's Weaknesses: Bags & Shoes

     I admit that I'm a bag and a shoe lover, but I don't spend too much cash buying them. Whenever I go to the mall,   bags and shoes are the first thing that comes into my mind though they are not in my shopping list. Heels? Flats? Clutch bag? Shoulder bag? Oooooh! so many choices...that is why sometimes I end up buying nothing! Haha! My husband gone crazy waiting for me :D

 It's been a long time since I blogged... and here I am again to share some of the things I've been preoccupied with. Never would've thought that I would finish 2 fondant cakes,65 cupcakes with fondant toppers and 100 cupcakes in just 4 days. I was deprived of food and sleep and I was glad and relieved I made it through. I'll post the mini bag cupcake topper, shoe cake topper and the LV Bag cake topper tutorials on my next blogs.

I improvised a rack made out of manila folder for drying.

 Cut out strips about 4mm wide and 1.5cm long for the shoe strap.

   

Make a cone shape for the heel.

you may paint the flower with gold luster dust mixed with vodka

 If you have a mini oblong cutter, use it and cut into half.

Booby Trap

Last week, I received a text message from my cousin who wants to order a fondant cake...well...it's kind of kinky. I was grinning while i was reading the text because they want a Boob fondant cake for the birthday of her husband's boss. I said to myself, OK! I can do that...another challenge!'. It was another first for me to make a cake like that.

I managed to take some pictures on how i did it, but not detailed one. Here it is...

Step 1. Since I don't have a ball pan, i just use 2(10cm) stainless steel bowl to bake a rounded cake. I just trim the excess on the sides and on top to shape it. (because the bowl is flat bottomed)

Step 2. Frosting the cake. Make a 1cm space between the round cake so you can make a cleavage when u cover it with fondant.

Step 3. Covering with fondant. I tint the fondant with peach gel food color.

Step 4. Making the brassier. 

Step 5. I made 2 nipples before detailing the bra.

Gosh! I don't know why I feel embarrassed.

I cut some fondant below the nipples to make it like these...

Step 6. Details on the bra, I've decided to make a zebra design.

Lace.

I had an idea to make it an under wire bra. ;D 

Step 7. And lastly, the bra strap and...

Voila!

I couldn't erase my smile from start to finish. I can't believe I did it because it is my first. I even feel embarrassed even to myself! When my husband got a glimpse on the cake, I can't describe his amusement over it. Geez! ;D
