Carved Shoe Cake

Carved shoe cake made for the partner of one of the ladies who works at www.hitched.co.uk.
It was my first attempt at a cake carved into a shoe, but not my first attempt at carving a cake.
I know some cake decorators frown at other cake decorators who take orders for things they’ve never tried before, but I find (touch wood!), that things go okay, as long as I plan carefully, and think through the design/decorating process thoroughly.
With each cake, I learn something new, and this was no exception :)
