Louboutin Shoe with Paisley Pattern Shoe Box Birthday Cake

Louboutin seems to be everyone's favorite shoe lately, well I love them too! So here's another one for my fashion cake collection, sitting on top of a paisley pattern shoe box, which is hand painted in edible gold food coloring. The lower tier box has piped Swiss dots and a monogram

Inside is the perennial favorite red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. Fondant pearls and other edible jewels decorate the cake board.

Giuseppe Zanotti Blue Platform Sandal Birthday Cake

For a surprise birthday cake we started off discussing with my customer a set of Tiffany boxes and a pump. However through the creative process we realized that a favorite color peach needed to be incorporated into the design, so that explains the boxes! The square box is tied with a white fondant bow and pinned with a silver dragee brooch, with other edible dragees scattered around.

On top I placed a Tiffany blue colored Giuseppe Zanotti platform sandal shaped in fondant. I am particularly proud of the hand painted logo, it came out perfect!

Inside is a moist coconut cake (we discovered a great supplier) with the always popular dulce de leche cream filling.

Delivered to a birthday party in Wayne NJ.

Caparros Copper Sandal and Shoe Box Cake

One of our favorite customers wanted to surprise his wife for her 40th birthday. He ordered a white vanilla cake with chocolate cream filling, carved in the shape of a shoe box. On top we placed a copper colored Caparros sandal sculpted from fondant. Delivered to Catas Restaurant in the Ironbound district of Newark.

Cole Haan Shoe Cake and Shoe Box

I have been wanting to make a shoe cake for months. This Cole Haan shoe made of "pastillage" (a modeling sugar paste which becomes harder, but should be handled with care because it dries so quickly and becomes brittle) sits on top of a chocolate fondant shoe box with red velvet cake and vanilla bean buttercream. The shoe had hand-painted gold accents and sugar pearls. Gold fondant ribbons lay on the cake board as if the shoe box was wrapped and has just been opened. The shoe cake was for a birthday party in Union NJ, the guest of honor told me she had a collection of thousands of shoes.
