Green handbag

Another day ... Another handbag....

This one for young lady - first Double digits... Sweet !

Cake was constructed by four sponges - three chocolate ones and one strawberry sponge.

Chocolate ones : 3x (200g of caster sugar , 200g of butter, 200g -1 table spoon of self rising flour, 1 table spoon of coco powder , 3 table spoons of water and three eggs)

Strawberry one: 200g of caster sugar , 200g of butter, 200g  of self rising flour , 3 table spoons of water, 1 tea spoon of strawberry essence and three eggs. Mix is colored pink with food coloring.

Sponges are filled with vanilla buttercream - 150g of butter with 350g of icing sugar, 4 table spoon of milk ,one and half tea spoon of vanilla essence - mixed fruit jam and fruit of forest.  

Two sides of the cake were cut away to get to desired shape. Then cover the cake with buttercream. Allow chilling whilst preparing fondant.

Choose the color - I chose lime green and make up 1/2 kilo of fondant. Cover the cake in full and then add corner edges, front and back pocket and side flaps. Cut out circles for handles . Use left over white icing to make zip and handles - plat three strands together and attach them to the circles using water. Make small holes for sweets . Using tools make stitches like holes around pockets and flaps. White ribbon goes around the bottom edge.

Finish the look with some cut out flowers at the top and sides of the bag.
