Step by step making shoe cake box


Yesterday Shikin emailed me about how to make a shoe box cake with the lid open. And just the perfect time because I have to make a shoe cake for Marsha today. So I took the photos step by step. I hope this will help who wants to make this kind of cake. Sorry about the photos, not enough sun in my living room as Melbourne had a dull day today.

There is a book too which is really good one from Confetti Cakes for Kids by Elisa Strauss. She explains step by step very clearly. Very recommended book :)



This was the cake box after covered with fondant.



This was the lid. Don't forget to put board under to support the lid.






Push the dowel in and mark it with pencil approximately 1 cm above the cake. Take out the dowel then cut to desired length and then push it again into the cake. Cut more higher if you want the lid open higher. You can put 2 dowel as well instead of one dowel. Put on the left and right of cake, so it will support the lid.
Put a dab of royal icing as a glue.



Pipe royal icing at the end of the cake, to secure the lid at the bottom part. Slowly attach the lid onto the cake. The dowel will support the lid ( that's why you need the board under the cake). The first time I made this cake, I only used hard paper. And it wasn' strong enough to support the cake.



Make the "tissue" paper from fondant. Insert into the gap and decorate as you wish and until you can't see through.



This is the final result. The cheaper way to have Jimmy Choo shoe I reckon :)

Shoe Cake box for Marsha





Jimmy Choo shoe for Marsha from Papa, Mama dan Nabil.
Ini pesenan mbak Reny untuk anaknya Marsha yang sekolah di Melbourne. Hari ini Marsha ulang tahun dan ternyata baru 2 minggu tinggal di Melbourne.
Waktu membuat cake ini bikin deg-degan. Cuaca Melbourne yang panas dan lembab akhir2 ini membuat fondant nggak bisa kering sempurna. Sepatunya sempat patah. Akhirnya bisa di sambung lagi tapi nggak sempurna lagi. Untung masih ada cadangan sepatu, untuk mengganti yang patah. Hanya heelnya tidak setinggi yang ada di foto.

Untuk mbak Reny, maaf ya aku nggak sempat lihat email soal ucapan di boardnya. Jadi nggak bisa sesuai permintaan.
Thanks for your order mbak Reny, and happy birthday for Marsha :)

Cherry Blossom LV bag for Nanette




Tas LV ini tadinya minta model Cherry Blossom limited edition. Tapi setelah di buat hasilnya nggak begitu bagus. Untung saja yang order nggak keberatan desingnya di rubah sedikit. Yang penting ada cherry blossomnya hehe.
Waktu buat cake ini, udara panas sekali di Melbourne, fondant nggak bisa kering. Lengket di tangan walaupun sudah di beri pure icing sugar. Hasilnya kurang rapi kalau aku bilang, kuenya rada melorot/ambles. Mungkin karena timpa 3 lapis fondant ( accesories) di atasnya. Bagian depannya agak berlipat2. Bagian belakang tasnya malah rapi.
Hope you like it Nanette and thanks for your order Melissa.
