I modelled these from sugar paste without using a mould or cutters, as this was the first time I made a shoe I was quite happy with the result. However, one snapped so I had to mend it and lay it on the shoebox cake and the repair was then invisible! The recipient loved the shoes so much that she wanted to save one unfortunately it broke as she removed it from the board, so as a surprise I made a new shoe for her. I recently heard from her that she displays it in a glass case!
