| My life saver stamps.. |
I had a friend ask me to make his wife a very special cake for her birthday. He had just went out and bought her this new Louis Vuitton speedy 35 purse & wanted me to make a cake replica of it! Without even knowing what it looked like I jumped on the offer! First thing I did was I googled a picture of it, then I thought.. how the hell will I replicate the monogram? I looked up a couple of ideas and the one that stuck out to me the most was stamping! I had my tattoo guy draw out the design for me on stencil paper and I copied it onto a piece of thin craft foam which i cut out with my exacto knife. I cut up some squares stacked them, crazy glued them together and made my own stamps! They freaking rock!!
Now for the cake.. He wanted to keep it as safe as possible so we went with vanilla & buttercream. I baked two 15x13" pans cut them both in half and stacked them with the buttercream as the filling. I then went ahead and started carving the top to resemble the purse. I crumb coated it & put another layer of buttercream. Then I covered it in the chocolate fondant. I went ahead and stamped the cake with gold luster dust to make the monogram. All the detail work was made hours before to give It time to dry.
And this is the finished product! I must say I am very proud of myself!
