{PRADA cake for the girl that has everything}

At first I thought this cake was going to drive me crazy, sometimes the simplest box shapes can be the most difficult because they have to look perfect.

Everything really started to come together after the shoe finally started to harden after almost 12 hours in the fridge. I do not have gum tex but could have added that to speed up the drying which I will make sure to have in the future. Super happy with how it looks. Love the cake board covered in matching fabric and piped royal icing roses I think came out yummy and very pretty. I painted the shoe with silver luster dust and lemon extract and the entire cake and decor is (DUFF's RED buttercream fondant.) Highly recommend his black and red fondants. They are super expensive but taste the best and are really a quality ingredient to work with.

The little purse was a last minute idea because I thought it needed some balance on that side. I just love it and Diana the birthday girl was thrilled with it also.

Email me with any requests, I'm working on the new domain name & website so stay tuned!

This cake was one of the most fun and challenging cakes to date. I worked with a "pillow cake pan" really not necessary but it was a last minute cake order and I wanted it to come out perfect so I splurged and purchased the pans. I only ended up using one because the cake was huge when I put them together so I used one and covered that with coral dyed fondant and ran the rope along the edge. One thing I will say is that there is no waste of cake when you use the pillow pans and they come out almost perfect after a little tweaking. The slipper is a chocolate candy mold I bought online and the entire cake is covered in fondant and the rope is painted with edible gold luster dust watered down with lemon juice and then applied by painting some corn syrup along the seam of the pillow to make it stick. I support the rope with some toothpicks until it dries the next morning, (that's a lil tip for you cake bakers out there).
