Homemade Purse Birthday Cake

This Purse Birthday Cake is 3 stacked sheet cake with icing between layers. I then shaped the top and sides to form a purse. I used strictly buttercreme icing and this cake fed about 24. Since this cake I have made many others from larger to a tiny "Coach" bag that fed probably three. I used ribbon for this cake's handle but have also used wire with beads. The designs are buttercreme icing that I just drew on. So cute and super easy.

Hint* let the main coat of icing dry for about 30 minutes and then smooth it out with wax or parchment paper. This creates a "fondant look" and is easier to draw on.
