So what have i been doing the last month - well basically I've been stressing about shoe. Yes Shoe, singular!! I was asked to make a cake for my friend Stephs 21st by her mum. My first paid cake. Kinda scary, exhausting, stressful but also heaps of fun! So the cake was due Saturday, I had made my base of the shoe weeks in advance as directed and then on monday when I went to attach the whole thing to the heel it decided it didn't like that idea and it was wanted to be in 2 halves!! At this point after some hair pulling and general freaking out I eventually managed to calm down and fix it. I ended up propping the base of the shoe with a wedge of fondant. It wasnt perfect but it was as close as it was going to get at that point. The base which is the actual cake is supposed to look like a shoebox. Not bad since i had never covered a cake with fondant before!
