Baby Shoe Cupcakes

by Maria R
(Wichita, KS)

Baby Shoe cupcakes

Baby Shoe cupcakes

Following in mommy's footsteps...

These little cupcakes were made for a baby girls baby shower whose mom LOVES shoes! They are all 100% edible and my original designs. I made a large pan of pound cake, let it cool, then cut out the little shoes using a paring knife and a home made cardboard pattern.

Then I tinted marshmallow fondant with food coloring until I got the shades I wanted to create the designs.

I used the same cardboard pattern to cut out the top of the shoes then just cut out the spaces with the paring knife and the buckle. The little buttons are also made of fondant.

This was so much fun to make! It was time consuming and it is a challenge to cut the fondant just right as it is very fragile when rolled but it was worth it.

How do you make boy shoes?

Thanks to everyone for your nice comments :)

For the cake you can use the pre-made mix from the supermarket and for the marshmallow fondant you can order some online or in a local cake supply store. I do not recommend Wilton fondant because it does not have a good flavor.

You can trace a baby shoe to make a pattern out of cardboard this will serve as a template to cut out the cupcakes from a sheet cake. Once you cut out each cupcake with a paring knife you can then make another pattern for the top of the shoe with the opening so that you can cut out the fondant. Then you can make a pattern for the strap that crosses the shoe as well so they are uniform.

The yellow gingham is edible paper with the yellow gingham printed on it, it looks so pretty but it is VERY fragile to work with so you have to be patient and careful when cutting the pattern out. Use a small sharp scissor for this
type.

The other designs are fairly easy you just tint the fondant the color you want (using powder fondant tint because the liquid one makes it too hard to manage) then layout the fondant in strips or balls and use the rolling pin over them to create the design. You will need to use butter cream frosting to adhere the fondant to the cake.

You can use an actual button to make the mold for the button. Just press the tinted fondant into it and gently pull it out (dust a little powdered sugar or flour with a brush to avoid tearing the fondant).

You can use a baking syringe to squirt some icing
in the middle of your cupcake for a nice little surprise, just remember you need to cover the hole you create when doing this.

Good luck and have fun!

Hi Everyone thank you for your nice comments.

The yellow gingham which is what i think some of you are referring to is edible paper with the yellow gingham printed on it, it looks so pretty but it is VERY fragile to work with so you have to be patient careful when cutting the pattern out.

The other designs are fairly easy you just tint the fondant the color you want then layout the fondant in strips or balls and use the rolling pin over
them to create the design.

How did you put the differrent colors, dots and stripes in the fondant. Did you made the fondant from scratch????.

Your biggest challenge will be the fondant because it melts if you refrigerate it. Once made they have to be kept at a cool room temperature and out of any direct sunlight. You can store the cupcakes and maybe just do the fondant the night before. Still 60 is a lot for one night. They are time consuming but worth it.

How far in advance, would you say that I can make these so that they keep fresh. I have about 60 to make and making them the day before just isn't realistic.

Your welcome Mona, if you trace a baby shoe to make a pattern out of cardboard it will simplify it a little more. You can use an actual button to make the mold for the button as well just press the fondant into it and gently pull it out (dust a little powdered sugar or flour with a brush to avoid tearing the fondant).
