Baking Class - Handbag Fondant Decor

Went back to the same baking class at Yishun as blog in my previous post here.

All these handbag decor are made using gum paste and personally i feel gum paste is easier to make play around with than fondant. 

Kindly note that i will not be sharing the techniques learnt from this post as these are the hard work of the master.
