Embroidered Bag Cake


It's been a while since I have posted, but I have still been baking!  And now I get to use my new oven, in my newly renovated kitchen (which is very exciting!)
 
Here is my latest cake - a friend's in-laws recently celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary.  As part of the celebrations, all guests were given an embroidered bag from India.  I mentioned that the design would make a great cake - which turned out to be a little more complicated than I had anticipated!  Here is the cake (top) and the original design of the bag.
 
The images are all made from fondant, and then hand-painted with edible metallic paint.  I got to play with some new moulds and practise my embossing skills.  It was a fun (and time consuming!) project :)
 
Happy Anniversary!
