This cake was one I had made recently where she wanted the infamous Hermes Bikin Bag with the scarf. The bag is all cake with gum paste handles and I even textured the bag to imitate the textured leather.

Wishing all the mother's out there a wonderful Mother's Day with a mango mousse cake!

Catbus and Totoro Friends

The adorable Totoro with his totoro buddies and the magical Catbus. I've loved Totoro since the first time I've watched "My Neighbour Totoro" by Hayao Miyazaki. The movie that started popularizing Japanese animation in North America and made the character loved by Japanese children is put into cake form here. The Catbus is a chocolate cake layered with praline buttercream and crunchy feuilletine.
