shoes

The heel needs to be made abit in.advance and allowed to dry before you start the sole.. hope this helps:)

Sophia thankyou for replying , it is not the actual heel it is the drying (position) platform for the shoe how can i explain it …. ready for the heel to put on i dont seem to get the right shape for them both to match, if you can understand what i mean ….

Good morning. When you make a shoe use only Gumpaste, let dry the platform at least 5 days.

Do you have a former?

sophia thats where im having difficulty i have tried to follow the online tutorials ,i dont want to buy a kit because i am just a hobby baker and they are quite expensive ,
Iris thank you for your input yes i do use gumpaste .
it is the heel fitting the shoe where im going wrong
.thankyou sophia for taking the time to help me very much appreciated x

It is very important to take the measurement correctly so that you know how high the heel needs to be. I have been able to do it without a kit and you are right the heel is the hardest. On one of them I made the heel slightly shorter than it needed to be. When I put it together, I simply added some gumpaste to the bottom of the sole to give it the extra height I needed. I then wrapped some fondant around the entire heel so that you could not see the additional piece. It looked like it was just one piece. Hope that makes sense.

Goreti , thankyou i never thought of measurement i will do that next time i have a go at the shoes it does make sense, thankyou to all for the advice much appreciated . Pearl

I once made a shoe without a former.. try slanting or angling the top of the heel so the sole sits good..hope that helps.All the best xx

thanks again sophia ,i think i have mananged it yay

Can’t wait to see it.
