Over the Memorial Day weekend, our family celebrated the first birthday of our second grandchild (her big brother Asher is coloring a chalk picture for her and her daddy wrote the message) . My daughter-in-law requested a cake that would feature the babies pink Chuck Taylor sneaker. The cake was white with a raspberry compote filling and covered in pale pink fondant, with darker pink ribbon and bow. The sneakers were hand sculpted of out of 50/50 fondant pastillage mixture.
