Made for Edie's 40th birthday at the request of her hubby Ron. The cake is formed over a plastic shoe template made from the stiletto heels my boss happened to be wearing that day. The clutch purse is a dummy made from fondant and gumpaste formed over a cereal box template. Lettering done in tappits. Transporting was a nightmare but we delivered it without incident.
I'd be happy to share how we did the cake. It's rather lengthy, so I'm writing it out. Anyone who wants these directions PM me and I'll get them out to you.
Love this cake! I read your remarks about how you made it, but what do you mean when you refer to the plasticshoe template? Is it like a "board" that the cake is sitting on to allow it to be at such a dramatic angle? If you would share more of your instructions I would be ever so grateful. Thanks
I get a lot of requests asking for instructions on how to do this cake, but people don't realize that it's on a 22 inch cake board, weighs at least 30 lbs (or more) and is 13 inches tall and 20 inches long. So please be aware of that -- this isn't a dinky little cake.
