my first baby shoes & the making of...

I will be doing a cake this Sunday for a Christening and I was asked to put on the last tire a pair of baby shoes and a pacifier. I was given the most specific instructions as well as pictures for the design and colors of both the topper and the cake itself.

I just hope I'll be able to please them.

This is my first time making baby shoes, so please keep that in mind. I made them tonight so that they have time to dry out.

This was the template I used for making my shoes and here come the pictures from the actual making of.
















As you can see I do not own a stitching(hoping that's the right word:)) tool yet, so I improvised .


Do the stitching while the fondant is still flat on your table. I forgot to do it then, and so I had to do it after the shoe was assembled. more difficult this way.




Final shoes, left to dry out.


I hope this has helped some of the cake decorating beginners out there.
