Baby Shoe Fondant Cutter Set - 6 Piece Sneaker Template Kit for Gum Paste Baby Shower and Christening Cake Toppers

A pair of tiny fondant baby sneakers is one of the most photographed toppers there is - and it is a pattern-cutting job, not a modelling one, which is why almost anyone can make them with the right templates. This set gives you the six pieces a sneaker is actually built from: a sole, a toe cap, a heel counter, a tongue, a side panel with the eyelet holes and stitch line already marked, and a strip cutter for the rubber trim that runs round the base. Cut each piece from coloured gum paste, assemble them the way a real shoe is assembled, thread a length of thin ribbon or a rolled sugar lace through the eyelets, and you have a pair of shoes that read as genuinely miniature rather than as fondant blobs. The stitching and eyelet detail come out of the cutters already there - that is the detail doing the work, because it is what the eye reads as 'real shoe'. Because the pieces are flat cuts assembled in layers rather than sculpted, it is far more forgiving than freehand modelling and does not need drying formers. Baby shoes are the signature topper on baby showers, gender reveals, christenings, naming ceremonies and first birthdays, and a pair on a simple cake is often the entire design. Works with gum paste, flower paste, fondant and modelling chocolate, and with polymer clay for keepsakes and craft.
