The extremely fabulous, Karen Geraghty of Bake Cake Create has so graciously created a high heel, sugar shoe tutorial for us! She shows us all of the tricks and tips needed in order to create a gorgeous, properly proportional sugar heel topper for cake and includes templates for the various pieces, as well!
You can check out all of Karen's AMAZING creations on her Facebook page, HERE!
Notes:
The heel mold from NYCake that I've included a link to in the supplies section will work with this tutorial
Karen's shoe templates- you can use the PDF file, HERE
Karen used 49 grams of Squire's Florist Paste in the heel mold (a stiff drying gumpaste can be used instead)
You can create the same strap support Karen used out of card stock
