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.

your welcome ;)

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!
