A commission came in from Crawley West Sussex for a cake in the style of a Chanel Handbag and Heels.
This rather large Chanel Handbag Cake was made for a very special young lady in Crawley West Sussex who sadly lost her life at 18 to cancer and was for the celebration of her life along with a mountain of brightly coloured cupcakes.
Her love of all things bright, fun and girly was the order of the day and the skies above Tillgate Park in Crawley West Sussex were full of balloons as her family and friends said their goodbyes.
This cake was a fun one to make, just like the wonderful young lady whose life was being celebrated. It was filled with a delicious vanilla sponge with strawberry and vanilla buttercream and covered in black fondant and hand crafted. The chain was a bit of a challenge I can tell you but I think she would have laughed at this!
I wanted it to look as though she could just come along and pick it up! The mauve dancing shoes were added as mauve is her favourite colour and I wanted this cake to be beautiful and a true representation of this amazing and courageous young lady.
The room was full of all her friends and family and was the celebration of her life that she had planned.
A truly inspirational young lady who will never be forgotten.

This cake was for my Niece, Georgina, it was wonderful and although Mandi was extremely busy when I asked her to make a cake she made it with the love and skill she does with all her cakes (including my wedding cake a week later). This delicious cake was certainly a fitting centre piece to Georgina’s Celebration of Life and she would have loved it and the mini rainbow coloured cupcakes Mandi also made.
