Fondant High Heel Shoe Making Kit - Sole, Heel, Strap and Former Set for Gum Paste Sugar Shoe Cake Toppers

A sugar high-heel is one of the highest-value toppers a decorator can offer and one of the hardest things to make freehand - the sole has to curve, the heel has to take the weight, and the strap has to sit at the right angle without collapsing while it dries. This kit breaks the shoe into its actual components and gives you a template for each: a full sole plate with a stitched border, two heel supports, a flared upper or vamp, a bow or toe section, two beaded strap moulds, and shaped forming blocks that hold the shoe's curve while the gum paste firms. You roll the paste, press each part, assemble on the formers and let it set - and the shape comes out right because the pieces are cut to fit each other rather than judged by eye. That is the difference between a sugar shoe that stands and one that sags overnight. The stitched and beaded detailing on the sole and straps is what makes the finished piece read as a real shoe rather than a fondant blob, and it comes out of the moulds already there. Sugar shoes are the signature topper for a woman's milestone birthday, a bridal shower, a fashion or shopping theme and a hen party cake, and they command a premium precisely because most decorators cannot make them. Works with gum paste, flower paste, fondant and modelling chocolate, and with polymer clay for craft. IMPORTANT: this is a modelling kit, not a cookie cutter - see the notes below on how it should be listed.
