Beautiful cake, really sharp looking. I have that Kerry Vincent book, one day I'll get around to trying that shoe, yours looks wonderful. Fantastic lid. Can you explain how you did it please?

Thanks for the comments, franjmc. Very much appreciated! For the lid, I just rolled out gumpaste, cut it to size, dusted an actual shoe box lid with icing sugar and then placed this over the lid to form it. I cut slits in the corners and formed it to look like the box.
