Shopping Bag Cake

We got a request from a client who lives in New York to make this cake for her birthday. She was  celebrating with friends in Toronto. Each side of the bag bears the name of the two cities she has strong ties to. The cake is all edible - shopping bag, tissue, and pearl neccklace.
The inspiration came from a cake by Pink Cake Box. Here is our version.

Sweet 16 Birthday Cake



3 tiered double chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse for a 16th birthday party. It was a black, red, and white affair and the cake captured the essence of the event. Mini hand-made roses and a large bow adorned the cake. We used our  Essence Deluxe Ice rolled fondant to cover the cake and make all the decorative elements.
