In early April my beatiful Grandma turned 91 years young. My Mom asked me to make a cake for her, which I was honoured to do. Mom selected a Vanilla cake with Lemon filling. I will admit to being slightly intimidated by the thought of making this cake. I knew that whatever I made, even if it was a complete disaster my wonderful Grandma would eat every bite and brag about it to everyone. But still, it had to be perfect!
I was still a bit unsettled after trying to make Alyssa's cake and it not turning out the way I had wished it would, I wanted to challenge myself, but I also didn't want to pull out my hair over it either! I did some thinking and looking around and I found a "how to" on making a cake in the shape of a purse. They filled me with enough confidence I just had to do it! It was, easier than I thought it would be. I got some floral wire and some jewelery beads and I was all set. I made the cake in a round cake pan, filled it, cut it in half, stood it on end, iced it & done~except for the decorating. I made a quilted design on the surface of the purse to help the look, and drew the Channel logo on the bottom to complete it. 
Happy Birthday Grandma, I only wish I could find the words to tell you how much you mean to me. I love you always. xoxo
