My First Gum Paste Figurine
09-19-2008
Here is my first gum paste figurine, a high heel shoe cake topper:
I suppose it turned out okay for my first time but I am not happy with it ::sigh::
I know I just need more practice and I have definitely learned a lot. I sound like I am 12 – LOL! I made the gum paste from scratch and I can see where it got too dry and cracked. I found great instructions and a template at www.cakecentral.com . I made this shoe for my mom’s birthday cake and it turns out the topper is too big for the cake-
I should have made a 9″ round instead of an 8″. Oh well, better luck next time!
You’re such a perfectionist!!!
