Baby Girl Bling Sneaker Cake

Mom to be just wanted pink baby shoes on her shower cake, this is what we came up with. About 2 weeks ahead I made the gumpaste sneakers allowed them to dry and applied the edible glitter to the toe area. The name plaque and flowers were also made ahead from gumpaste and allowed to dry.

For the cake I baked two 14" chocolate fudge cakes, torted and filled with buttercream. Then covered the entire cake with buttercream and then covered with fondant. I used a lace mold to make the pink fondant border. For the top of the cake I made a small pink blanket from fondant and attached it to the top of cake with edible glue. I attached the baby shoes to the blanket with royal icing and attached the plaque to front of the cake with royal icing. The little gumpaste flowers were attached with royal icing as well.
