Designer Cupcake Tower

Cupcake towers aren't just for kids! This creation was for a 40th birthday party and what better way to celebrate than cupcakes and Chanel.... that's my kind of combo.

The Chanel purse on top of the cake was made out of rice krispies treats which we sculpted to form the purse shape and than covered and decorated with fondant. Trick of the day - if your black fondant is dull from working with it, paint on a thin coat of any clear alcohol (i.e. - vodka) - it shines it right up! We incorporated the black rose and pearls which are very characteristic of Chanel.

For the cupcakes we sculpted each one of the designer purses by hand from fondant.... tedious, but so so cute!
