My wife’s youngest daughter Andrea has taken to cake making and produced this Louis Vuitton purse cake for her sister’s birthday.
Apart from one afternoon class in working with fondant, she’s had no formal training in baking or decorating. She does watch Ace of Cakes faithfully and has picked up a lot of tips from the show.
For example, this week’s episode, Four Weddings and a Rat, Duff gives a tip for mixing the silver with vodka to create “paint”. The alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving it dry. Andrea took the same approach with the gold that she used to decorate the purse.
I’ve posted full-size versions of these two pictures —here and here. You can see some of the other cakes Andrea has made and decorated here.
