Guess everyone knows that any Chanel, Gucci or LV bags will typically cost you an arm or a leg. – Just exaggerating but you probably get the idea ^^
And so why not an alternative, something that looks exactly like that branded bag and yet taste delicious too!
As mydearbakes’ sis birthday is around the corner, this “Chanel bag” doubles up as a birthday cake for her =P
We were so glad that we attended a class from Cake over Heels to learn how to do a Chanel Bag cake. The instructor, Nicolas make it sound so easy!
If you are looking at the cake from a distance, its really very hard to tell that this is a cake ^^
Many thought that we were crazy for trying to cut the “bag” at the restaurant.
Can’t blame them though. lol
Oh, last picture before we end today’s post – finally decided to cut the cake after admiring it for a very long while $^^

Lol, glad our latest post gave you an idea for your next birthday cake! =)
Holy cow! That’s freaking incredible!
Hi Sara Tedde from By the (cook)Book!
We hope you are convinced that what you are seeing is a cake and not the actual bag! =P
Your cakes are amazing! Although my fondant capabilities are indeed very sad (terrible in fact) I do love baking and decorating a good cake with some homemade chocolate buttercream!
Hi sesame street!
Thanks for visiting our blog and no, I think your bakes are amazing too! =)
Wow. This is the best Chanel bag cake I’ve ever seen! I can’t think of anything better than an edible Chanel bag right now :P
Thank you so much farhanah, for that lovely comment! – We love it! =D
Nope! As AMAZING as that cake is I still REALLY want the real deal. Maybe I can have both!
Hi EmmaMT from CakesBakesAndCookies.com,
My thoughts exact! I certainly would like to have both too! =P
Let’s tell our husbands!!!
This is simply stunning! That’s a cake I would love to give to my fashionista sister…though I doubt she’d ever want to eat it :-)
Hi Joy,
Thanks so much for your kind words and we are sure your sister will love the cake if you bake it for her! =)
I’m impressed!

This is amazing – are the gold link chains edible too?
This made me smile, the gold chain is super-realistic. I’d love a Chanel handbag, cake or not!
I have to agree with you on this Tor!
To be honest, it will be so much better if we can have both! =P
Wow, wow, wow!! Did you really make this? I’m seriously in love with this cake! Who doesn’t love a good Chanel bag? Seriously impressed! :) :)

I have always wanted to take a class from CakeOverHeels with that bag but their schedule doesn’t always jive mine! Oh and they have tall cakes class too which I’ve missed with Sharon:)
I was confused as to why you were posting so many pictures of a bag! CAN’T believe that’s a cake! Whoa!

Amazing!!!
Thanks for your kind words, Icing images! =)
That is absolutely bananas! I worked in a bakery years ago and I recall the cake designer working in fondant one day and telling me how tricky it was to work with. Making your work even more outstanding.
It’s my dream to get renew vows with my husband and have a cake that looks like draped fabric. I’m sure you know what I’m saying. I saw one years ago in a Victoria magazine and fell in love with it, almost as much as my dear husband!!
Peace and love,

Sort of like this! http://www.flickriver.com/photos/47359205@N00/2381332319/
But it’s too pretty to cut and if it were in ivory, I would have tried to put my wallet and lipstick inside and carry it off! Fabulous!
Thanks for stopping by my Post!
Thank you! So glad you liked it! =)
WOW!!!! amazing
Ah-mazing. Beautiful details I wouldn’t want to cut into the bag!
Yes, sweetmama, it was so lovely that we almost didn’t want to cut the cake ^^
Incredible! I couldn’t tell it was a cake from the first photo! Thanks for sharing. I love Chanel…wish there was a bakery in Singapore who could do good 3-D cakes. — Mrs. J
Thank you for your kind comments, WhiteTrinity =)
For a start if you are looking for 3-D cakes, you can try out cake over heels! – http://www.cakeoverheels.com/
I hope it helps! =)
Thanks very much!
This is truly amazing! I hope I will be able to make a cake like this one day!
Thank you! I’m very confident that you can do it too! =D
