Pippa's Shoes

Pippa's Shoes on Cake Central

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 with my fav set of patchwork cutters.

My sister's name is Phillippa spelt in exactly the same way - I didn't think there were many out there. Love the shiny shoes!

This cake is soo incredibly elegant, anyone would be honoured to receive this. The shoes look like real shiny new leather, your handwriting is incredibly beautiful, outstanding work

I just love this! You did a fantastic job with the shoes. They are just the perfect size for the cake. And the accents are great! If I were receiving this I would just love this! ;-D

Thank you all for the wonderfull compliments, everyone here is so kind. The patchwork cutters are from the UK but www.globalsugarart.com are the only US stockists I know to. The shoes were made from my own templates which I will gladly post as soon I can (everyone wants cakes this week!) The heel of the shoes is a mould made by Cel Cakes. I don't know who stocks them outside the UK but ebay seller makeawis* has them for sale & they ship worldwide.
