This cake is mostly buttercream, but the straps. handle, and other accents were made from fondant. We even used the edible image printer to make a luggage tag and a passport cover. A small spray of gumpaste flowers completed the package. It sure was nice that a cake took LESS time than I planned!
One of the best tools I ever bought was a "ribbon cutter". It is such a simple thing that I use every week! I wish I would have textured the straps with a "leather" type print. I've been looking at rolling pins for textures on things, but they are so expensive. I have two, one with floral pattern and one with a wood texture. Does anyone have a cheap source?
I would love to make vacation plans after doing this cake! How about you?
love the passport detail!
