Close up of the "hardware"
Ok, finally the “Posh Designer Purse Cake tutorial Part 2″! I want to start by describing a little about the “hardware” on the purse, the bamboo handle, latches, and tassels.
Below I show a few steps on how I made these details such as the bamboo latch and tassels. I used a piece of gum past rolled up into a shape of a sausage and pinched the middle all around. Once I got the middle of the sausage pinched and raised, I used the wheel tool and marked an indentation in the middle of the raised pinched area creating a joint, then I used some cutters that where the same circumference of the “sausage” to create the metal cap end by cutting out gum paste circles, which I will paint silver later once dried, and attach to the bamboo after they are dried also and painted brown. The same technique is used for the handle to create the bamboo handle, using an 18″ gauge wire as part of the internal structure. A more detailed tutorial on how to create these hardware details will be available for purchase at a later date. Stay tuned!

Making "the Hardware" before painting

Here is a close up of the alligator skin. I rolled out white fondant and I used the impression mat to begin to create the “skin” look, then let it dry for about 20 minutes. Using a mix of color gels and Ever Clear or Vodka, ( you want to use something that will dry very fast and not sit on the fondant and dissolve or melt it). This part is a little trick to explain, but you want to use a stiff pastry brush and the paint should not be watery, and you want to dab the paint concentrating between the creases, then dab with a dry paper towel, and repeat till you achieve the right look.

Close up of alligator skin

Then I used a food writer pen to add the little dots at the bottom of each skin cell (that’s what I call it, don’t know what the technical term is) This will all be included in the more detailed tutorial.

I love the Wilton Food Writers

Place the semi dried fondant on the cake, it needs to be dried so it is easier to handle, don’t worry about elephant skin, it will actually work to your advantage to create the look of alligator skin in this case. Make sure the paint is also completely dried before handling.

Pinching the ends and trimming excess fondant

Here I’m smoothing the fondant, once you cut the fondant, the “fresh” sticky part of the fondant is exposed and joins easily at the ends.

Painting ALL of the seams and ends

And more painting, I did not say this cake was fast to make, like all cakes that have lots of details it takes time, but the end result is worth it.

Painting the end of trim

Almost done with the painting and the fine detailing, folks this is why sculpted cakes cost as much as they do, even smaller cakes requires lots of detailed work to create a realistic piece of art to deceive the eye! You are buying a piece of edible art, not just a layered cake with buttercream, you are paying for art as well as a tasty cake!

Almost done painting

Once everything has dried you can add your finally details such as the handles.
I want to add that I glue all my pieces with a gum glue adhesive like tylose glue or gum glue, and I also use melted chocolate for heavier pieces, like the hardware bamboo pieces on this case.
