Part II: Fancy Shoe & Shoebox Cake Video Tutorial
Section II: Making the High Heel Instep
- First create a template out of black gumpaste using an exacto knife. I rolled it out to about 1/16 of an inch.
- You can create a template if necessary – in this case I did the cut freehand.
- The black instep should be a bit smaller then the white sole me made previous. I cut about 1/4″ inch on each side.
- To create stitch pattern, I used a stitch tool to give the impression the instep was sewn into the shoe.
- Place water on top of the sole before applying the Instep.
- Let the instep dry for a few days to ensure firmness
Making what has, before, seemed like an impossibly difficult task, much simpler. And who would have thunk it!! Freezing flat pieces of fondant, to make them easier to handle.
