A Girls Best Friend...

Diamonds??? Nooooooo Its SHOES!!! And you know it too. Over the past year we have done so many shoes at the Cakery. It's kinda funny because recently someone called and said, I need a shoe cake and I was told that I need to talk to you! ME? Really? Huh...

Seeing how I have a wide, flat foot, I've never been able to enjoy shoe shopping or wearing for that matter!  When clunky shoes gained popularity, I was thrilled! For the first time in my life, I could have "cute" clunky shoes! HA! Had I been smart, when I found a pair I loved, I should have bought two. But practicality wins every time where I am concerned. So I have one pair, they wear out and I never find another shoe I like as much.

So put me in the decorating room with some gumpaste and I get giddy. It's kinda ridiculous. But for the first time in my life, I am able to get excited about shoes! So what if I can't wear them. I do get to make someone smile with them. And almost every time, I get to choose the design. Hooray! I love shoes!

So here are some of the shoes I've had the privilege to make in the past several months. I'll add booties (the baby kind) as well cause I really like them too.

Hope you enjoy!

 

This is my kind of bridal shower cake!

Can I tell you how much I LOVE this cake? Well, I will, because I DO! It's no secret I love girlie things or that I love to try new techniques. So this was a really fun cake for me because it involved both!

I got to make some new molds, and even got my husband in on it by having him custom make me a piece to make a mold from. Everything on this cake is edible except for the support in the gift box lid.



The shoe is made from sugar paste, the diamond ring is sugar, and the bra is also sugar paste. I think the bra was the hardest part just because it is several pieces of sugar paste pieced together and I didn't have a pattern. It was trial and error to create my own pattern but I really do love the end result. It is tasteful and romantically pretty.

Thanks for stopping by!
