This is a cake I made soon after the 1st shoe box cake I posted. I took on board all the problems I had with the 1st cake and used proper gumpaste for the shoe. I think I did quite good as I felt more satisfied. The only thing I wasn't quite satisfied with was the heel. Gumpaste has so much bouncebackability (is that a word!). Anyway, what I mean is that it tends not to keep the original shape as it's too stretchy and tends to shrink back to the shape it wants to be :( (you get the idea). I wanted a sleek heel with some sharp edges to it, but the gumpaste just prefered to stay round. At this point...I let the gumpaste win. Next time I'll use a different tactic ;) TFL
