Vera Bradley "Morgan" bag...for Morgan...

ok, so i'm sorry that i haven't gotten a vacay post up yet...we had a FABULOUS time & i took way too many pics! life's so crazy right now - it felt like we came back & hit the ground running...running late tho - both yesterday & today...ugh. but we're surviving...& getting back in the groove...slowly.

anyway, until then...i wanted to share this cake with u that i created last night...it's my 2nd Vera Bradley bag (here's the 1st)...this is their "Morgan" bag - made especially for a teenage birthday girl, Morgan! ;0)

from what i hear, Morgan is a quite the fan of mine...this cake was a surprise for her from her aunt Susan

it's funfetti cake...iced in buttercream, then covered in my dark chocolate fondant (no coloring used to get the dark color)...

i then use food coloring gels & vodka (which evaporates off) to hand paint the design...

here's a pic of the cake beside a print out of the actual Vera Bradley bag (found on their site)...

this cake was presented to Morgan just this morning...& shortly after, i got a phone call from the very excited birthday girl, thanking me...she said that when her aunt opened the cake box, she reached in to grab the bag - thinking it was real!

that's the best compliment i could ask for!
