Channel purse cake

 

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."- Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel was a French fashion designer and businesswoman. She famously lived her life according to her own rules declaring "I decided who I wanted to be, and that is who I am". In the early 1900s she was a pioneering designer who simplified silhouettes and freed women from corsetry. Her garments infused menswear sensibilities into her patterns and fabric selections. She was first to use cotton jersey in womenswear, introduced the little black dress, and made bouclé jackets and skirts a style staple. Now, more than a century since she opened her maison, Chanel’s legacy continues to inspire.

This was a Channel inspired purse cake for a dear friend's birthday. It was a vanilla cake in different shades of pink with cannoli filling.  

Coco Channel's fabulous quotes are super inspiring. 

"Fashion changes, but style endures."

"You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life."

"Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside." 

"You live but once; you might as well be amusing."
