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.

Instructions
by: Maria

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.

Good luck :)

Recipe

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 store. I do not recommend Wilton fondant because it's not very tasty.

Good luck :)

Color
by: Peggie

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.

Great Idea!
by: Anonymous

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.

Thanks :) I cut the pattern out of card board, I'd say it's about 3.5 inches.

your welcome ;)
by: Anonymous

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). Good luck and have fun!
