Topsy Turvy Tuesday’s

I spent last week making a huge cake for my cousins wedding, I’ll show it off tomorrow. And I spent my weekend redesigning my cake website since I changed servers!

Okay this last week had a few great posts (if I do say so myself). One I’m super excited about is the first of what I’m planning on being a twice a month project, my cake video tutorials! Last week was Cake Boards, I’ll have another one for you next week too, so let me know what you guys think! Also one of my pinterest inspired crafts, my first knit striped baby hat!

Then a post on Heidi, another Pinhead, and finally a short post on my son’s new hair style… And my final Pinterest inspired recipe for this month, (and a sponsor post/review) stuffed crust pizza with Fast Easy Bread!

Converse shoe birthday cake

converse shoe fondant cake carved

It was my cousin’s 16th birthday last weekend.  Her mom (my aunt- DUH) asked if I could make her favorite fashion item, a pink low-top converse, into a cake!  I figured I was up for the challenge.  Not owning any converse my self (shocked?) I started collecting images from Google for my inspiration.

I actually printed off the picture of the bottom of a shoe to use for my carving template!  It worked great!  I used an impression mat, a weave, to get the fondant detail for the front “rubber” section.  I was going to paint the grommets silver, but kind of ran out of time.  Working with all that chocolate was a little too much for me and I ended up taking a few too many breaks (even the smell of chocolate makes me sick these days- saddest thing EVER!)

I started by carving the shoe, THEN covering the shoe with a cream fondant (same color as the inside of the real pink converse!).  Then I started layering on the pink fondant tongue, then each side one at a time, then the back!  Finally I added all the white fondant detail work!  And finally the black edible ink!  And my cousin was happy with her surprise cake, so in the end a great cake!
