Tiffany-like bag cake

Got an order for a birthday cake from a work colleague. She ask whether I could pipe words on a cake, I said yes and she left it at that.
Thinking about it I thought I would give the bag cake a twirl. The inspiration is the Tiffany bag, The difficult part of it was the upper part/lip of the bag which I used tissues to support whilst the icing hardened.
Then the rest was more or less decorations. I made a ribbon gift box and topped the bag with thinned flower paste to look like tissues.
The problem which I am learning from is the side of the cake was rough and that is because I forgot to utilise my smooth tool.
The outcome turned out great for my first bag cake.
The cake itself was a cherry ripe chocolate cake layered with dark chocolate ganache.
I have thoughts of making some chocolate treats now.
In a few days I have to make a 1st month cake for Yvettes new bord Hugen, what should I make..thinking, thinking...
