More details to this question:
I would like to know if I could make and sell pastries with brand names on it, such as Chanel or Gucci. The cakes are made from scratch and the brand names also are done by me from pastry,with unique designs.

No, even though Chanel or Gucci don't make pastry, they are "famouns" marks and your use would be called "trademark dilution". It also would be "unfair competition" on the basis of suggesting a false affiliation and/or endorsement.
