Create A Purse Cake with Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes!

The NYC Cake Decorators Meetup's mission, in part, is to develop members' skills through participation in challenging hands-on workshops.

Members who responded to a recent survey overwhelming requested a 3D fondant workshop. Laura, Assistant Organizer did the behind the scenes legwork, and we were ecstatic to learn that there was an opportunity to book a workshop with Elisa Strauss, Owner of Confetti Cakes.

The "Create a Purse Cake" workshop with Elisa Strauss was fabulous!! There was a great turnout of members eager to learn from Elisa, a master of 3-D shaped cakes.

Membership consisted of novices and pros and yet the workshop offered different and challenging techniques of benefit to all.
Everyone learned something new and Elisa's tips and decorating hints were truly invaluable.

The workshop left everyone happy and amazed at what they created and yet left members yearning for even more workshop experiences like this.

These lovely fashionista purses are just in time for Valentine's Day. They would also make a special Easter or Mother's Day gift as well.


One of Elisa's cakes was featured on "Sex in the City" and who could ever forget her Food TV Cake Challenge win with her sweet and lovable Sock Monkey cake.



Elisa Strauss and her assistant Candice Corbin are wonderful and warm people who really exemplify sharing, caring, and professionalism. Members continue to rave about the workshop days after the event. Needless to say, The NYC Cake Decorators Meetup highly recommend Elisa's workshops and we hope this is just the beginning of a sweet relationship.
