Every Woman's Weaknesses: Bags & Shoes

     I admit that I'm a bag and a shoe lover, but I don't spend too much cash buying them. Whenever I go to the mall,   bags and shoes are the first thing that comes into my mind though they are not in my shopping list. Heels? Flats? Clutch bag? Shoulder bag? Oooooh! so many choices...that is why sometimes I end up buying nothing! Haha! My husband gone crazy waiting for me :D

 It's been a long time since I blogged... and here I am again to share some of the things I've been preoccupied with. Never would've thought that I would finish 2 fondant cakes,65 cupcakes with fondant toppers and 100 cupcakes in just 4 days. I was deprived of food and sleep and I was glad and relieved I made it through. I'll post the mini bag cupcake topper, shoe cake topper and the LV Bag cake topper tutorials on my next blogs.

     And here's the step by step pictures on how I made the mini shoe cupcake toppers.

Materials needed:

Gumpaste or fondant(any color u like) with tylose powder

small rolling pin 

exacto knife

quilting tool with tracing wheel

small flower cutter

water brush

fine brushes

gold/bronze luster dust

vodka

palette

small shoe pattern about 1.5"

ruler

shortening

cornstarch/powdered sugar for dusting

Shoe pattern

I improvised a rack made out of manila folder for drying.

 Cut out strips about 4mm wide and 1.5cm long for the shoe strap.

   

Make a cone shape for the heel.

you may paint the flower with gold luster dust mixed with vodka

 If you have a mini oblong cutter, use it and cut into half.

let it dry

And here are some of my previous shoe cakes.

My first trial of shoe cake, I gave this as a birthday gift for my mom-in-law.
