Chanel

I asked my sister in law what cake I could make her for her birthday and she found this one. So here is my Chanel cake in all its glory!




It is a white almond sour cream cake with cream cheese filling and marshmallow fondant. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out, although I might have done it a little thinner (it was 11x6...Maybe I should have done it 11x5)and instead of fondant for the edging I would do just black icing next time...maybe it would have turned out better. My finger nails are still black around the edges from dying the fondant black! YUCK! I also would use the little silver balls instead of rolling and painting fondant silver for the rivets. It didn't look as clean as I would have liked. Oh and it was so hard to put the logo on right! The fondant was thin and it stretched a lot when I was moving it. Didn't turn out too bad but not perfect. Hmmmm...there's got to be a technique for that! Oh and definitely would dye the fondant gray before painting it silver for the zipper and metal rings. The silver just didn't make it dark enough!

All in all this was my favorite cake yet!
