Maybe you can try cutting a piece of "cardboard" to resemble a purse handle, put icing on it!. You can stick each end into the cake deep enough to stick up and with the icing it should look just like the real thing!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.(remind people that the handle is not edible)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Take an 8 or 9 inch round cake and cut the center out of it!. Take the outside ring and cut it to fit the cake you have for the purse!. Decorate with gold candies to if you want it to look like links!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could add a real purse handle after baking and decorating!. Just wrap the ends in Saran wrap before you stick them into the cake!. Use frosting to cover up where the ends are inserted into the cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

cook your cake in a rectangular pan then cut the purse shape out with a knife!.
