How to Make
Lily and the Purple Plastic Purse


(the cake is on a piece of wood 2 feet by 3 1/2 feet)

Lily is made out of mostly square and round cupcakes, a mini loaf pan (the small rectangles), an oval for the face, a round ceramic dish (about 6" in diameter) for the ears, and two larger ovals (ceramic dish) for the body. The purse was a square piece (about 8") and I cut out the middle section to make it more like a rectangle. The purse straps and tail are Pepperidge farm cylinder shape cookies called Pirouettes. To make the legs skinnier, I cut out the middle of the rectangle shape. The bow on the tail is cut out of the square cup cakes. Where two shapes above overlap, I cut one of them so they fit together.
