Designer Shoe Cake...

 It Started with the request from a repeat client named April. "Can you make a cool cake for a 30th birthday?"
Us: "Of course we can, what did you have in mind?"
April: "She like Shoes, shoes, shoes".....and Chocolate!
Us: "we'll make it happen"....

And so the preparations began....here we were making shoe molds out of gumpaste and coming up with a cool concept.... The design in mind was for a few logos and designer shoe designs....then a vision of being in a store and being able to choose one of those shoes off the platform racks was born....
After some hard work and frustration with that damn Choo.... (originally it had two thinner straps at the front..but I was too frustrated as it kept breaking) ...I improvised, and I think the bling at the front looked better anways.
 Here is the final product.

We are very proud of this cake, as the end result was what we were looking for.
I received a message from April yesterday, who was too sick to even attend the event. But she said she had heard from the committe members who were there and she texted me: " FYI - Heard the party was renamed 'total cake boss...and barb somebodys birthday". I thought that was funny....and flattering too.
What are your thoughts on our final design?

Roses in the making...

 The beginning stages of buds and layers of gumpaste to create roses for a special anniversary cake.

 Red roses symbolizing their love for one another...and the pink...just because!

Voila! Happy Anniversary!
