My first 3D Cake. Made by baking a victoria sponge in a loaf tin X2. The first cake was used as the foot base shape and the second cake was cut up to put on top for the ankle bit, the pieces of sponge were held in place with chocolate frosting and carved into the right shape. another layer of frosting was pasted all around the outide to help the icing stick to the sponge.
I rolled out the black icing and laid it on top (this was the trickiest part) i couldn't roll it out big enough to cover the whole shoe so there were a lot of joins that needed fixing, i found the best way to blend cracks and joins is by using a knife soaked in hot water and smudging it. all of the other bits of icing were then added, edible felt tip pens are very useful for detail!
People seemed to be impressed, but i have just thrown it out because no one ate it, oh well.
