To shape the handbag, cut the square Madeira cake in half on the diagonal
(see Fig 1). Stand each half upright back to back then cut to shape(see Fig 2).
Fix together with jam and buttercream then cover the whole cake with more
buttercream.
Step 2
Knead and roll out approximately 1kg of chocolate sugarpaste, cover
the cake and gently rub over with a cake smoother for a professional
finish. Keep any sugarpaste you have cut off to reuse.

Step 3
Step 4
Now roll out sufficient chocolate sugarpaste to cut out a rectangle large
enough to cover the front and back of the cake. Working quickly, gently
emboss (with an even pressure) a pattern over the icing.
Brush edible glue over the front and back of the cake and carefully lay
the chocolate sugarpaste over, cutting away any excess icing where it
meets the board. Use the PME designer wheel to mark stitches along the
outside edges of the cake and down the sides.
Step 5
Step 6 - The Purse
To finish the top of the bag add a shaped piece of pink sugarpaste and
use the designer wheel to mark some stitching detail.
Model a purse shape using a 50/50 mix of Sattina candy floss sugarpaste
and Sattina 3-in-1 modelling paste.
Moulding The Zip
Use 3-in-1 modelling paste to make the zip using the Diamond Paste zip
mould. Dust the mould first with the cornflour pouch, roll the modelling
paste into a long sausage shape then press firmly into the mould. Cut
away any excess icing with a palette knife then turn the mould over and
pop the zip out. Attach to the top of the cake with edible glue.
Use the Gucci set of 2 embossers to imprint the design, the PME designer
wheel for the stitching detail and one of the Gucci embossers from the set
of 4 to create the front clip.
The Handles
Colour some 3-in-1 modelling paste with a little chestnut brown food
colouring and mould into two long sausages to create the handles.
Flatten the ends, add some stitching detail along each handle and
attach to the cake with edible glue; scrunch up some kitchen roll and
place underneath the handles until they have set firm.
Painting The Gold
Mix gold powder food colouring with rejuvenator spirit to create a gold
liquid. Using a fine brush, carefully paint the embossed pattern and the zip.
Handy Tip: Practise embossing and painting the patterns
onto a spare piece of icing rolled out so that you get used to
achieving an even pressure every time!
