Shoes!

When designing a cake for my friend Anne's flirty thirty birthday there was only one theme choice - shoes!
This project was made in two parts; the shoe box is a large double fudge brownie, while the shoes are made from rice krispie treats. Both are decorated with butter cream icing, with the shoes receiving miniature M&Ms for a little more colour.
The shoes were carved from blocks of rice krispie treats, the below photo sequence shows their creation.
With the basic shapes created I moved on to frosting them. I used black icing to highlight the show box cover, and to outline the shoe's in-sole, outer-sole, and straps.
I hope you enjoyed the shoe cake, I know Anne loved it! :)
