happenings, and make a promise to be more dedicated to updating! </div>

I was blown away by their passion and dedication. [Check out their non-profit <a href="http://www.haitianorphanrescue.org/">Haitian Orphan Rescue</a>!]</span><br />

I have never made a purse cake before and was pretty apprehensive. The task proved to be as difficult as I originally thought. The weather was going crazy-- beautiful one second and a tornado warning the next-- resulting in terrible humidity. The fondant bubbled and peeled right off of the cake and it was a leaning purse... However, after many tears and my lovely boyfriend running back and forth to the store for me at 1 am, the end result was beautiful. </span><br />

I've had more requests for those than anything else. Which is awesome, because it just so happens to be something I'm pretty passionate about.<br />
