CC Bag

When you find you can’t afford a luxury brand handbag for your best girlfriend, perhaps the next best thing might be to make one edible yourself. What I particularly love are the details like the stitching, the zipper and the gold chain strip. The double C’s are cut out of rolled fondant and after they’ve been pasted on, are brushed with a gold powder mixed with vodka to give them a luxury look.

The end result almost made me wants to pick the bag up and swing it over my shoulder.

Happy decorating!!

Macaroons

Like cupcakes, macaroons are cute, colorful, portable, single serving-sized bits of goodness. They are also extremely versatile, with wide ranges of flavours such as lemon, mocha, blueberry, passionfruit, strawberry, ganache and pistachio rasberry. My favourite macaroon flavour is dark chocolate ganache. It balances the sweetness in total.

No one can deny that a macaroon is just about the most dainty and delicate dessert for the most stylish women around town.

Happy baking!
