Three things - 

Today, I made a Little Mermaid Cake for a pretty little girl named Mhia who celebrated her fourth birthday.

Today, I chanced upon a sale in the mall so I bought some office pants.

Today, I had my picture taken with Mig Ayesa! What a rush! He's super nice. Wish I baked cupcakes so I can give him some. Rock of Ages definitely rocks!

Wait... that's three already? And I still haven't gotten around to introducing this post, hahaha! Well, here it is - read on.

Today (after that long introduction), we're all about bags. Cute red purses. In fondant. Fashionable, totally.

Purses you can tote around then after basking in its cute-ness, devour it with much gusto. Clearly an  epic sugar-rush beyond proportions. 

This tutorial has been requested several times so here I thought I'd make a proper tutorial.I It's fairly easy and requires minimal tools. Want to see how I made it?

How to Make Designer Red Purse Cupcake Topper

What we need - 

Fondant in red and ivory
Stitching tool (or toothpick or knife)
Gold dragees
Knife 
Brush and water

Here's How
(1) Roll red fondant into a ball, press it flat and shape into a rectangle. Make sure to retain the round edges.

(2) Using the stitching tool (or toothpick or knife), "stitch" a rectangle on to the base. Do the same to its 2 sides.

(3) Using the stitching tool, run diagonal lines onto the front of the purse.

(4) Repeat it but this time, run it the opposite direction.

(5) Roll out a small amount of red fondant and cut it into a rectangle

(6) Cut two of the sides, like so.

(7) Run through a border.

(7) Repeat steps 3 and 4 on to the rolled red fondant.

(8) Attach the red rolled fondant to the bag and paste a small rectangle onto the center of the bag

(9) Add the gold dragees detail.

(10) Roll ivory fondant into a long thin rope

(11) Twist two long ropes and cut a portion to serve as the bag's handle and attach to the bag.

(12) Here's the finished product :)

Depending on the size, you can either make it as a cake or cupcake topper. Plus, you can change the color of the handle, dragees and main bag for more versatility.
