Stiletto Shoe Cake Tutorial Fondant Pillow Cake HOW TO COOK THAT Ann Reardon Cake Decorating
English English
Welcome to How To Cook That I am Ann Reardon
Today we are making a Jimmy Choo shoe cake.There have been lots of requests for a shoe
cake tutorial and Lisa has been requestinga pillow cake every week since May so I have
combined the two.I will show you how to make the shoe first
and then the pillow.
First thing you need to do is cut out yourshoe template, that is available on the website
howtocookthat.net there's a link in the descriptionbelow this video.
Once you have cut it out also cut an solefrom some thin cardboard so we can use it
as a support while the fondant is drying.You will also need to cut a couple of other
things out of cardboard and staple them togetherwhere shown.
Place a stack of books on a baking tray andusing your template for the side profile of
the shoe match them up to the right heightand then open the cover of the top book and
prop it up to the right angle using tissuesor paper towel inside the book.
Then take the cardboard sole and bend it tomatch the side profile of the shoe, set it
up on the books and tape it into place.
Take some non-stick baking paper and placethat over the top so that the fondant doesn't
stick to the template.
Now to make your buckle, place some bakingpaper over your template and roll out a thin
even snake out of black fondant. Then usinga knife to help you bend the corners to match
outer size of the template, trim it to theright size and join the two ends together
in the middle of one of the sides. Then usean off cut to make the prong of the buckle.
Then take a dry paintbrush and dust that fondantwith silver luster dust on all the edges and
then leave the buckle to one side to dry.
Next to make our label roll out some whitefondant really thinly, put your template over
the top and cut out the rectangle shape. Nexttake a sharp pencil and trace over the letters
of the logo pressing reasonably firmly. Whenyou remove the paper you will be able to see
a light indent that will guide you to whereto put the letters. You can either paint them
on using black gel food colour or you canuse an edible marker to write them on.
To be honest I had never heard of Jimmy Choobefore making this cake, I just searched for
expensive shoe brands and found one that Ithought would look pretty on a cake. If you
want someone who does know a lot about fashionand make up then check out beautiful Carah's
channel, her channel is called Carah Amelieshe has studied apparel design and cosmetology
and has been a licensed cosmetologist forthe last
She has heaps of great get ready with me videosand skin care, hair and makeup tutorials and
some creative hair ups. As always I'll puta link in the description below the video
and I'll add one to her channel at the endof this video as well so, make sure you check
it out and let her know in the comments that'how to cook that' sent you over.
Next roll out some black fondant to be halfa centimeter thick and cut around the outer
sole template line. After you've cut it runthe flat edge of your knife around it to smooth
off any imperfections.
Roll out some cream fondant and cut the innersole template size.
Rub a tiny amount of water onto the blacksole and add the cream sole over the top,
if it stretches a little as you add it likemine did add your template back over the top
and trim it to shape.
Take your toe template and trim across thecream toes section and remove that bit.
Line up your fondant sole with the sole thatwe made out of cardboard and put it into place
so that it is going to dry in the right shape.Dab a little bit of water on the top section
and add your label. Take the tip of a knifeand gently make stitching indents across the
top and base of the label.
You can see here the sole has little creasemarks in the fondant at the bend, if you want
to avoid that put the black sole onto thesupport first and then add the cream sole
once it is in place.
Now to make the toe.This shoe uses snake skin, you can buy expensive
snake skin texture mats but here I ma justgoing o use a plastic texture mat that I use
for chocolate as well. You get all of thesetexture mats in the back of one book, whenever
I mention them in a video people always askwhat was the book and where did you get it
from so I will put a link to that particularone in the description below the video so
you know which one it is it costs about $8for the book.
Roll out your black fondant and then placea texture mat over the top and roll over it
to make the imprint on the fondant, then removethe template. Then using the toe template
cut along the top of the toe shape of it butleave the rest of it. Add it to the toe lining
it up with the cream shoe lining. And thenuse your finger to smooth it down and around
the toe and trim it off at the base.
The top angle of the heel to match the baseof the shoe angle so they can join together
nicely. So to make that take a thin book andprop it open so that it matches to side profile
of the heel that I have given you. Then addthe heel template and double check the angle
is correct and tape it into place.
Roll out a thick snake of black fondant andthen using the palm of your hand push down
on one side as you roll to make it skinnyone one side. Place it on the template and
then roll it some more until it matches theshape. Use a knife to cut the angle of the
top of the heel then mold to the right shapeusing your fingers.
Do you know how much these shoes actuallycosts to buy? the real one I mean not the
cake. Let me know what you think in the commentsbelow how expensive is too expensive for a
shoe and do you have a favourite shoe brandthat you like to wear?
Trim the end of the heel using a knife andthen make an indent at the base of the heel.
Next we are going to make the ankle straproll out some black fondant add a thin layer
of cream to the underside and then rub thetexture mat on the black side of it.
Using the ankle strap template cut out a longstrip and wrap it around your cardboard support
that is covered in baking paper. Then usingthe back of a knife make two indents near
the end of the strap and add your buckle intoplace. Use a tooth pick to make a hole and
then add the other piece into the hole. Sothat it looks like this.
After a couple of days once those pieces aredry take a some black fondant and using the
back of a spoon mix into a thick paste witha little water. Use the paste to glue the
heel to the shoe. If you are in a hurry youcan mix some tylose powder into your fondant
to make these pieces set faster but that alsomeans you need to work faster when making
your shapes.
Use something to support the shoe while itsets and leave it to set for an hour you can
be work on your actual cake while you waitfor this or if you are making it ahead then
just take a break.
Roll a snake out of black fondant and addit to the underside of the shoe where the
heel joins the sole and smooth it around,then trim off the excess.
Take a toothpick and poke it into the shoeon almost an upright angle. Then sit the cardboard
support over the top.
Roll out some black and some then some thincream fondant. Using a tiny bit of water put
the cream onto the black, then flip it overand rub the texture mat on top. Cut it out
using the template.
Use your knife to indent down the back intwo straight lines and then use the very tip
of the knife to make stitching marks downthe middle.
Add a little water along the base and putinto place resting it on the card. Now I should
have covered the card here in baking paperbecause my fondant stuck when I tried to take
it off so make sure you don't forget to addthe baking paper.
Next to make the lower strap roll the blackand cream fondant just like we have before
but this time you don't need the texture matbecause this bit is made out of satin. Cut
out the shape and you can use a roll of cardhere or bunch of tissues might be easier.
Rest the strap over the top and join it ateach side using a little water.
Repeat that process for the middle strap addingsome tissues for support. Measure using you
template to make sure they are the right sizeand then add the fondant strap dampening the
ends with a little water. Carefully line upthe edge and gently push it into place. And
yes you guessed it leave it out to dry, nowthis fondant is only thin and it was a really
hot day here so i was able to take the supportsaway after a couple of hours but to be safe
I'd suggest you leave it longer. If you keepone of your strap off cuts you can use that
to see if it is dry enough you can test itand see if it will hold its shape.
Carefully remove the back support and thenstack up some items to make supports of equal
height to balance a ruler on. This is to holdthe ankle strap in place while it sets.
Then add some of your black paste and loopit around the back of the shoe, with the buckle
on one side towards the back.
You could leave this shoe just like that orcustomize it and add your own decorations
like flowers or whatever the birthday girllikes.
But we are going to continue to decorate itlike the Jimmy Choo shoe, so to do that remove
your other supports and using your templatemake your centre vertical strap just like
we made the others. Slightly dampen the topof the strap and then the top of the bottom
two loops that are on the shoe.
Attach it underneath the ankle strap and overthe other two loops. Now to make our razor
sequins that decorate the shoe. Staring withthe black cut a thin strip, segment it and
cut one end into a point. Add a little waterand gently place them onto the shoe. Make
another layer that overlaps the first andthen repeat that going up the shoe changing
to blue then greens and then back to the black.Then we want to leave that to dry out, the
longer you leave it the stronger the shoewill be.
For the pillow cake itself bake 4 quantitiesof my red velvet cup cake recipe in a tray
and then let them cool. Trim off the edgesand then make yourself a square template that
you can use, mine is
Put a smear of cream cheese frosting ontothe base and cut a square of cake and add
it to the cake board. Add a thin layer ofcream cheese frosting, each time you cut a
square you are left with off cuts that youcan join two of those together to make another
square so you can use those for alternatelayers. Use your knife to level them off if
they are not quite even. Add another layerof cream cheese frosting and continue to stack
the cakes up in this way.
My red velvet cake recipe and the frostingrecipes are all on the blog howtocookthat.net
if you go to the shoe cake page which is inthe link below this video I will link to all
the recipes that you need from there.
Keep going until it is around 8 cm tall. Whenwe carve the top of the cake we want to come
down just past half way down to about 3cmwe don't want it exactly in the middle because
pillows squash down when you put them downon something.
Fold your square template in half and thenin half again to make a smaller square and
place that in the centre of your cake. Startingwith the corners carve down on an angle down
through the layers to the 3 cm level thatwe looked at not right down to the bottom.
Then repeat that on each of the corners andthen on each of the sides, cutting down on
an angle just down to the
Next use your knife to shave off thin layersof cake at a time to round off your pillow,
we don't want hard angles. We don't want itto look like a rock we want it to look like
a soft pillow.So round it up to the top. Then looking at
your cake from above curve it in slightlyat the sides. Not too much just a little bit.
Now for the underneath, from just below that
cake board at each corner and then along thesides.
Next the key to making it look soft and pillowlike is giving it some creases. Grab a pillow
and have a look at how it sits and where thecreases are. Using your knife take some chunks
out of the sides to give it that look. Ifyou don't do this your pillow will look a
bit solid.
Clean up all of your crumbs and then coverthe whole cake in frosting and put in the
fridge to firm up. I am using the cream cheesefrosting on the outside here too, it is quite
a soft frosting so if you are new to cakedecorating I suggest you use one of the buttercream
recipes on the website instead for the outsidejust to make it a bit easier for yourself.
Roll out some fondant in the colour that youwant your pillow to be and cut a long strip.
Place it under one side and press it ontothe frosting. Using scissors trim it at the
corners and long the cake at the 3 cm level.Repeat that on each side and then cover the
top of the cake in fondant, you can use acontrasting colour here or you could rub it
with a texture mat you can use whatever youwant to customise your pillow. Then use a
ball of fondant to smooth out the fondantand push it into those creases that we made.
Then run your finger along to find the edgeof the bottom fondant and trim it up using
your scissors.
Next to make the edging you can do that byhand by rolling two snakes for fondant and
twisting them together. Or you can use a fondantextruder with a plate that looks like this
one. I will link you to where I bought thisone online in the description below the video
I have only recently bought one and they arevery handy. You just roll out the fondant
into a thick snake, place it into the tube,screw the end and then turn the handle and
it pushes the fondant out. Then for this patternI want you to twist the cord in opposite directions
on each end so that it looks like cord. Thentake some gold luster dust and brush it on
using a paint brush. Add some water alongthe edge of your pillow and put some cord
on using toothpicks to hold it in place whilethat water fuses it to the side of the cake.
Then using the fondant extruder again fittedwith the small circle tip squeeze out some
thin spaghetti looking pieces of fondant , dustthem with gold, twist the top and place them
onto the corners of the cake.
Remove your toothpicks. Then measure roughlywhere the shoe will sit and make a little
indent on the cake, this helps the shoe sitsecurely but also makes the pillow look soft
because if you put something on a soft pillowit sinks down into it a little bit. Then add
your shoe on top and your cake is ready toserve.
