Mademoiselle Chanel

A cake should be two things, classy and fabulous...

To celebrate a friends 25th year for working for Chanel, I was asked to make this cake for her surprise party. I couldn't have been more excited! After initially thinking make a cake version of a perfume bottle would be quite easy, it turned out it wasn't (quite like most of my projects). Luckily they were quite happy to have the cake lying down flat so the next problem was how to get the cake looking like glass. However with a few lines here and there I think I got as close as I could.

To add an additional Chanel feel I made a quilting impression and the iced cake board. And please, don't even get me started on how hard the letters were.
