Last weekend we did a cake for a teenage girl who loves shoes and fashion. We decided on a simple shoebox cake, filled to the brim with shimmery pink tissue paper, and a sugar stiletto. It was made out of gum paste (a sugar dough that hardens when dried) and hand painted with edible food coloring in a funky zebra pattern. We used gum paste for the tissue paper as well. The shoebox was sculpted out of several layers of vanilla butter cake, filled with a raspberry buttercream and covered in our homemade vanilla fondant. The shoebox lid was cake also, with “the Upper Crust” painted on top with edible food coloring. The birthday girl was quite surprised and loved her cake.

Here is a close up shot of the stiletto.

This is the cake in the center of the party table, coordinating with the black, white, and pink decorations selected by the birthday girl.

We’d like to credit Elissa Strauss, of Confetti Cakes of NYC, for giving us inspiration for this project, through her wonderful book The Confetti Cakes Cookbook.

A few weekends back we did a fun cake for a very special little boy turning 2. His mom informed us of his deep love for tractors, especially his “papa’s”! Here’s what we came up with:

O my gosh!  Everyone loved, loved, loved the cake!  I’m serious, everyone raved about it.  They all said it was the most delicious cake they ever had.

Now, there were some debates..were the yellow and green jelly things like zucchini and yellow squash?  There were some arguments, some thought they were cucumbers, some thought yellow and green peppers, so we need you to settle this! O and the little tractor was the perfect size for Owen to share with all of his friends! Thanks again!  I cant wait for another cake event!
