Handbag Cake

I made this handbag cake for my mum for her birthday. I have to say for a first attempt I think it turned out really well! It was a bit fiddly as there were lots of parts. I wanted to make it look like an actual handbag as a lot of the handbag cakes I looked at looked very unrealistic and a bit silly.

The actual cake itself was a chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream.
