This Neiman Marcus handbag cake is the ultimate indulgence for your chocoholic, designer fashion-fiending friends.
The Zebra-Striped Handbag Cake has a delicious chocolate interior and the stunning outside is coated in stripes of caramel toffee and chocolate buttercream.
Neiman Marcus suggests their zebra cake serves 10-12, but I'm betting once you finally get yourself to pierce the edible masterpiece with a knife (I know I couldn't), it could feed an indulgent group of 6-8 just as well! After all, how often do you get to lick $235 cake off your lips?
Also featured in the gallery of Neiman Marcus fashion cakes is the "Sassy Satchel" Cake, Circles Cake and Happy Birthday Cake.
