Fashionable Purse Cakelets


After launching Cupcake Envy in 2006, Cupcake Envy has been recognized as the creator of the sculpted mini cake concept and we are thrilled to see our trend flourish with folks all over the world posting Cupcake Envy inspired cakelet designs along with countless new designs complimenting the cakelet trend.
Today, I would like to focus on one of our most popular designs that have hit the web running: The Purse Cakelet.

What is so great about the purse cakelet is its versatility. Designs options are endless when it comes to the purse cakelet and we have even gone as far as to offer a tutorial on our youtube channel so everyone can learn how these fashionable little cakes are made.
