Kesha's Shoe Cake

My Best friends sister, Kesha, loves shoes and so for her birthday she asked me to make a shoe cake. I decided to do a leopard print shoe laying on a shoe box with a piece of tissue paper. None of the pictures show the shoe box bottom to well. It was just a rectangular layer of cake in a peachy taupe color.

To get started I drew up what I wanted the shoe to look like and cut out that drawing. I laid it down on a piece of cake and traced it. I then was able to wrap it in fondant that I painted with a leopard design using food coloring.

I was pretty pleased with the results. Only thing I would have changed would doing some more finishing details.
