For the base cake I made it with the very popular chocolate Madeira cake and chocolate butter cream and covered it in purple fondant and piped with royal icing Calvin Klein Euphoria which made it look like the perfume box.
Sat on top of the box was the perfume bottle that was made with the same cake mixture and then covered in baby pink fondant and dusted with a cerise powder colour that was later steamed to make it glossy. The lid was a small piece of cake covered in fondant and then sprayed with silver shimmer and left to dry. The lid was then placed on the bottle with some edible glue and left to dry over night.
After finishing the box and perfume I thought it was missing something so I had a look online to see what scents make up Euphoria and found out that one of the flowers used are Lotus Blossom so I printed a picture of lotus blossom placed some baking paper over the top and piped around the picture with various colours that matched the photo and left that to dry over night. In the morning I lifted the flowers off the paper and placed them round the cake board, I had done a couple Champaca flowers but the flowers were so small it broke. With the addition on the Lotus Blossom and the added black ribbon bow (I thought black would look sophisticated) the cake was finished.
