This is my first attempt at a shoe cake……well that’s not quite true – the humid weather we had last week meant the fondant sole wasn’t dry enough when I moved it to put the heel on and it broke into 3 pieces when I tried to move it!!.
Luckily I had a few days to spare so I started again and used flower paste for the sole instead which worked much better. Not completely happy with it, the shoe actually turned out quite well but I had problems getting the stripes to stay straight on the shoe box. They distorted when I smoothed it over. And I pressed too hard putting the flowers on the corner of the top which makes the lid look lop sided……..but all in all not bad for a first try and I think the customer was pleased with it. It’s a chocolate fudge cake with dark chocolate ganache filling……very rich and grown up x
