I love making cakes for family and friends, but it’s fun getting themed cakes from businesses too!  Mamabargains.com just celebrated their 5th birthday and ordered a cake to celebrate.

All that they requested was to have the icon of the website on their cake.  I asked what the first thing they sold on their site was and the answer was a Timi & Leslie Diaper bags.  So I decided to base the design on one of their first bags and carve a diaper bag cake.

I picked the messenger bag in the Sahara pattern.  I loved how it turned out!   The hardest part was the silver hardware.  I started by pre-drying them, then I painted them with silver edible paint.

I carved it first, the frosted it in a white chocolate ganache.  Then covered it with fondant, and added the top flap and the side pockets.  I added all the turquoise detail work.  Then added the strap and pad and silver hardware.  I love love LOVE how it turned out!!!

Finally topped it off with their logo on top!  If your company was celebrating a birthday what cake would you want?

      thanks! This was actually a super easy one, but it fell over after I finished it, so I had to redo a lot of it, that’s always stressful1 Your limeade looks GREAT! I love all things coconut though.

    Awesome job! I’m getting a little jealous looking at your cakes, I don’t get much chance to decorate cakes these days and there’s so many new trends I haven’t gotten to try out!

      It goes is cycles. I’ve been pretty busy this year, of course I live near a LOT of family and friends, and with 5 kids I stay busy with just favors, this was a rare client cake, I only do a few a year.

    This cake is super cute!! How did you make the logo, it looks so perfect and stiff enough to stand!!
    And do you make white chocolate ganache the same way you make dark chocolate ganache?

      I hand cut two of the logo out, then bent 18 gauge wire into the shape of the head/body/down the leg and out. then “glued” the two logos together, with the wire in the middle, with vodka (or clear vanilla). Then let it dry for two days and voila!

      white chocolate ganache is tricky. you have to make sure it’s really high quality white chocolate, not white candy melts, or white chocolate chips, etc… And it tends to separate easily. I do the 3-1 ratio and after adding the cream, letting it sit, and stirring you’ll want to keep stirring as it cools so it doesn’t separate.
