Black Heel Shoe-Shoe Box Cake

After a week working on this shoe, I finally got to see the finished cake come together this past weekend. So much work, but when you see the cake finish and a smile in your client's face is definitely worth it.
The best part is that I didn't have to deliver the cake, which is always so stressful.

See this little broche? I applied every single dragee using twizers, I attached them with piping gel. 


This picture doesn't make any justice, but the high heel I made it with modeling chocolate, I used the recipe in Meaghan's book Sugarlicious and I was very pleased with the texture and the flexibility of it. After I made the heel, I let it rest for a few hours and them I covered in black gumpaste.




Well, let me know what you think.

    The detail you put into this cake is astounding. I adore the shoe, it is beautiful and the tissue in and around the shoe box is fabulous. You are an extremely talented decorator Kathia. The client must have been blown away when she saw this.
