How to make a purse cake fondant / gum paste?

I've seen howdini / Betty Crocker video portfolio before a billion times and any help. I have to do a realistic appearance of fondant or gum paste. There are some things you should know that I could find on google: How I can do the zipper? What should I bake the cake pan in, how do we stack and how to carve? How does Handels foot up? thank you very much. This is what I want it looks like (first photo in the slideshow): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7EnTJgttPY&feature=PlayList&p=89658C33CE07AE34&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=23

I looked at the picture attached and I suspect that either some fondant wrapped around a flexible tube (like a drop that has been flattened) to the handles. If it were me, I go directly to the modeling chocolate. It comes in lots of colors, can be dyed candy colors (available at Wilton) and delicious flavors. You can make every detail with it, can be piped, and can be used as a brush to paint with food quality! It is a great thing to work. If you want to see some beautiful applications of this medium will whimsicalbakehouse.com. Good luck!
