Hi all. I’m looking for a great stilletto shoe kit. Been advised that the cake structure kit is good by a couple of different people but wondered if anyone has any other suggestions before I click purchase? I looked at one the other day that one of our members sells but can’t remember who now! Any advise or tips appreciated too! :)) Thanks x

I took the shoe class in person from swank and the mold and templates they have are great. They now sell it as a kit.

Dina I’ve just realised it was Mel’s kit I’d seen! Thanks so much x
Wonder if anyone can suggest any UK suppliers?… I realise most people will ship internationally but that obviously bumps the price up…

Hi Mel, Ive just bought one from Squires kitchen sugar craft, Farnham ( if you key that in on google it should come up) Its The shoe cut and form Set £28.40. Its really good but not as big as I wanted, I think about 5", The shoe fits in your hand, lovely set and works very well though, hope this helps! :-) x
P.s I think I will be ordering Mels one as well though because I think hers will be bigger! :-) x

I’ve just ordered it from Mayen of Way Beyond Cakes by Mayen, and am eagerly awaiting it! You can check out Shawa McGreevy’s beautiful shoe, made from the same kit.

Thanks ladies! Really appreciate your help.

Hi lovely !

has this one, bit on the expensive side though … The Squires one looks really good for the money ! Wish I’d known when I did my shoe … I bought a cheap pair from eBay (think I won them for less than £5 inc del !) and dismantled them to use the pieces as templates, but very time consuming ! https://pic.cakesdecor.com/o/PicMonkey_Collage1_govqsa.jpg!

Thanks Lou! Your shoe looks great. I have thought about making my own… I like the easy option though ;) Thanks for the link. Sitting around whilst my knee heals is doing nothing for my bank balance…I’ll enjoy playing with it all though! ;)

Hi Mel, I got a Cake Structure high heel shoe kit from www.clairescakery.co.uk, it’s £45 but looks great. Can’t comment on how good it is to use yet as it’s waiting for me to get around to playing with it :D
