Sugar Shoes

Before going into the baking business full time, I worked as an office manager of an environmental laboratory.

I was the girl, who matched her shoes to every outfit.  My closet had 63 pairs of heels on display.  All colors, textures and heel heights.

I Love High Heels....but I have been wearing chef crocks for 24 years and now...

 I make heels out of sugar.

This Blue dress slipper features a ruffle and pearls.  I wish I had taken more pictures of this beauty, however, a client stopped by to order a cake and saw the shoe in progress and wanted it for her cake.  I also neglected to get a final picture of the cake, which I do a lot.

Both of these shoe designs where found on the web.  They are not my design.  This open toe is made to look like suede.  I did this by dry brushing petal dust with a small amount of shortening and then a light overcoat of cornstarch gives it a soft looking finish.

The third design was the last in this series and I took pictures of most of the process.

This shoe was used on a previous cake it was posted under the title of 75 years of bling
