I noticed as I was looking at the gallery of cakes that someone said they got the template from the forum. Is this true??? Does the forum also have the purse one too? That would be amazing as they are very expensive I have noticed. Thanking you in advance for any and all help you can give me.

Hopefully that link worked. Great template- I altered it, seemed like an old lady shoe to me. I have never seen any for a purse, but I think most of the purses are cake.

I just made my first shoe using this template. It was wonderful. PM The poster of this template and she will give you a link to her blog. She has a template there for a makeup bag that could be modified.
Here's my pic if I can get it to post. If not you can look in my pictures. I just modified the toe of the template. worked great.

I have used the templates found on here as well. For the last shoes I made I used this video from Pink Cake Box. Using her video seemed to help me a great deal. I went to Wal-mart and purchased the cheapest heals I could find and tore them apart. Here is the link.
