This was for the same girl I did the slingbacks for. It was very last minute so I didn't have the time to make the shoes how I wanted. I also wanted them to be in red satin but couldn't get the right lustre at my local store. I ended up with a very...

I made this for a friends daughter who has had a shoe obsession since she was 3 years old! The shoes are made from gumpaste which I painted with confectioners glaze to make them patent, but it doesn't show up too well in the pic. The sides were done...

This was a 'play' piece for me. I'd bought the patchwork cutters, I used for the side designs, & wanted to do something with them. Plus I'd never made a shoe before & really wanted to. So I decided to combine the two & came up with this.

I made this cake for a colleagues grandaughter who loved make up & phones. The grandmother was so pleased with it she wanted to keep it for herself!

Hi Babyluv! I unfortunately don't. But I did buy new shoes, washed them, covered them in saran wrap, traced the sole with parchment paper and used that as a template. Then I laid the gumpaste on top of the shoe (still covered in saran wrap) and let dry for maybe 4 days at least. For the heel, I sort of just eyeballed the actual heel until I got the shape I wanted (stuck a lollipop stick in the middle of the log) and let it dry separately. Did the same with the strap, then I glued them all together with royal icing. Hope that helps! :)
