Calais' Cakes

I get so excited when I get to make a cake but then I grow very impatient baking them! I wish i could just skip right to the decorating part of it all. After all, that is the most fun! My favorite part of making this cake was the Juicy Couture purse. It was the more difficult part because it took me six hours to make but it was well worth it in the end. I made it with Rice Cripies, fondant and butter cream icing. The zebra stripes were a little hard to make because the stripes didn't want to stick to the fondant. If you want to make zebra print fondant, I recommend cutting 1/4 lbs  fondant , dying it black and then cutting it into stripes ( I used 1 lbs white fondant and 1/4 black to cover the base of the cake). In order for them to stick i would dab a little water before rolling them out onto the remaining white fondant OR make sure your fondant is still moist and not turning hard. * Generously use Crisco to keep the fondant moist, too much and the stripes wont stick well. If the stripes do come up of the fondant, make a batch of black icing and apply it under the stripe and hold down a few seconds. If you have any questions about how to make any aspect of this cake or the others I've posted comment below :)
