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!

For Girls... It's ALL About Shoes & Jewelery!



I've said it before and I'll say it again. I LOVE doing girlie cakes!!! This one is especially cool because it has an edible gum paste shoe (my first) and lots of raspberry flavored edible gems. The only non-edible element on this cake are the Swarovski crystals on the front of the shoe.





This cake is for a 6th Birthday for a very girlie girl!

Instructions for making edible gems can be found by following the link on the left. Once you get the hang of it, it's really not that difficult at all and I find it fun to try and make "perfect" gems. Crazy.. I know!
