Baby Bootie Fondant Cutter Set - 3 Piece Classic Baby Shoe Template for Gum Paste Baby Shower and Christening Toppers

Three pieces, and a pair of classic baby booties. This is the soft traditional bootie rather than a sneaker - the rounded shoe a newborn actually wears - and it is built from just a sole, a curved side band and a toe vamp. Three cuts per shoe is about as simple as a three-dimensional sugar topper gets, which makes this the kit to reach for when a baby shower order comes in at short notice or when a decorator has never attempted a shoe before. Cut the pieces from gum paste, wrap the side band round the sole while it is still soft, add the vamp over the toe, and thread a thin ribbon or rolled sugar lace through for the tie. The shape does the work: because a bootie has no eyelets, no stitching and no rubber trim, there is nothing fiddly to get wrong, and the smooth surface takes colour beautifully - pink, blue, cream or white all read as newborn. A pair sitting on a plain iced cake is frequently the entire design, which is why this is one of the most photographed baby shower toppers there is. Suits baby showers, gender reveals, christenings, naming ceremonies, new-baby gifts and first birthdays. Works with gum paste, flower paste, fondant and modelling chocolate, and with polymer clay for keepsakes.
