Gumpaste baby shoes tutorial

[ckneasel]

Hey, where did you get the punch that gave you the pattern on the shoe...? do they make different types as well...?

[nivia91]

@ckneasel They are stamps and you can get loads of designs.

[chefencasaqro]

@nivia91 where are de templates i coldn`t find it on the cake central site

[648TheLilylou]

@ckneasel I found the stamps at global sugar art 800-420-6088. they are Holly Products made in England and the pattern nivia used is in set 1- small floral pattern shapes. It took me a long time to find the first set of shoes were plain, but I am getting to do them right this month! I would like to find the tiny cutting wheels nivia uses. Haven't been successful in finding them yet.

[nivia91]

@648TheLilylou It is a modelling tool made by PME I hope you can find it :)

[lulypeter]

Hi I love your work., but I can't get the pattern at cake central, do you know were I can find it????? thanks

[nivia91]

@lulypeter Thank you. Maybe it has been deleted from Cakecentral. I dont have it in my laptop but I think you could find it online, just google baby shoes template or something like that and go to images. Good luck!

[cinnamongirl52]

What a great instructional video! Thanks! And how ADORABLE that you added a bit of humor too!

[nivia91]

@cinnamongirl52 Thank you :)

[CnJz96]

what did you use for the glue? and can you use just water for the glue?

[nivia91]

@CnJz96 I used tylo powder with water. Water alone wont glue as well

[CnJz96]

@nivia91 oh ok thank you, where can you get the tylo powder?

[nivia91]

@CnJz96 Any sugarcraft website supplier, ebay or any sugarcraft shop

@rareyellowdiamond Thanks :)

[xtwiddledumx]

Awesome! Thank you, i loved it. i have a quick question, how do you make the gumpaste different colors? And also where can i find the edible glue at?

[nivia91]

@xtwiddledumx Thanks :) I just add food colouring paste to it. The glue you can buy it from any cake decorating website supplier!

[nelephant1985]

@xtwiddledumx

you can get it from the squires website (if you're from the uk), or sugarshack website, and most cake decorater supply shops do them also!!

Not sure where you might be able to find them in the USA tho!

Would like to know where you got the mini flower press can't seem to find any thing like it. Love these little shoes.

Going to try them for a baby shower cake. thanks.

[nivia91]

I bought them online, they are called blossom cutters. There are different sizes but that one is the tiniest of all of them.

[tabloach]

I went directly to the site and the template is no longer available. Can you provide another one?

[nivia91]

If you go to cakecentral directly, gallery, scketches and go through them one by one or just right on search baby booties, you will find them because I saw them there not long ago.

[laykheng26]

Thanks for sharing, I would try this out.

[nivia91]

M y pleasure!

[karting60]

That's fab, thanks nivia. (just realised I'm signed in on my husbands account hence the name haha)

Thanks again for your help

[karting60]

Hi Nivia, I was just wondering if you could recommend a website or anywhere that I could get the stamps from? I'm having difficulties finding them and the only shop nearby that has cake decorating accessories is very limited. Thanks

[nivia91]

Hi there. I bought them from Lindy Smith website. I hope you can finda them :)

[BETTYSWORLD1]

Great Shoes, I tryed then 2 times and find that where the Gum paste meets the sole is really jagged. What can I due??t o make it even like yours. Also, is your snowflake dust the same as Pearl Dust?

[nivia91]

What do you mean by jagged?

[BETTYSWORLD1]

First I made the soles, than I cut out the rest of shoe template. It is when I take the shoe part with strap and put it on the glued sole that it does not meet perfectly even. Thats what I mean by rough edges.

[nivia91]

mm ok. What I would do is I would try to glue it in place without caring much about the sole, glueing following the top's shape and then cut the excess of the sole. If this does not work for you, try to get the template right by putting the template pieces together and adjusting the sizes.

Hope this helps

[xiswtsawluiix]

This might be a silly question. What kind of board is the green board you are using to work your gumpaste on? Where can I find one?

[nivia91]

It is called modelling boards here in the uk. You can find it in any cake decorating website. Good luck

[Xitlalli80]

Where did u get the baby shoe template from? And where can I find those small plastic boards to roll out my work on.

[Eva0092]

Hi Nivia, Thanks for the advice on the fondant. Does the same apply for a cake? I was going to put my cake together today using the fondant to cover the cake and then storing it in the fridge until I need it tomorrow. I have chocolate mouse filling and don't want to leave it out. What do you suggest. Thanks again, hope to hear from you today.

[nivia91]

Hi Eva. It is the same with a cake. The thing is that conventional frigdes have a lot of condensation so all that is absorbed by the fondant making it stick and even runny. If you do put in the fridge, you will need to bring it to room temperature very slowly, like putting the cake in front of a air-conditioning.

I would advice you to cover the cake like 2 hours before delivery so you know it going to be eaten soon enough.

[Eva0092]

Thanks for sharing your talent. The shoes are beautiful. Do I need to refrigerate fondant for my shoes to dry? Is your brush wet or dry when using the snowflake powder? I'm making shoes tomorrow for a boy baby shower cake, and am nervous, thanks for posting your video, very helpful. Would love to see more of your work. I'll be viewing this one several times before I attempt my shoes. thanks again, you're very talented.

[nivia91]

Hi Eva! Tahnk so much for you comment, lovely words :) I really appreciate it. You must not refrigerate the shoe otherwise it will become sticky because of condensation. Leave in a dark, cool place to dry. My brush is dry but you can add some water to the lustre dust, it would give it more depth.

Hope this helps otherside send me a message :) Good luck!

[Eva0092]

Thank you for your quick reponse, I appreciate it! You just saved me a pair of shoes (lol), Do you prefer gum paste to fondant? I hope I get the same results as I made a ton of marshmallow fondate the other day. Thank you again!

[nivia91]

I use fondant with tylo powder to make it into gumpaste but you can make ony with fondant, although it is a bit trickier to work with and it doesnt dry as hard :)

[kukikids]

amiga! puedo ver tu video todo el dia.... i love it!! :)

[nivia91]

: )

[Pifigenia]

if i want it bigger shall i cut the shape bigger and longer?

[Pifigenia]

i tried this but it came out small shall i cut the shape bigger and longer?

[nivia91]

The best thing to do is to paste the template on your lap top and try to make it bigger by percentage. I dont know which program you would have to use, otherwise you can print the template and take it to a printer shop and ask them to either make the template bigger or smaller for you

[Pifigenia]

i tried this but it came out a bit small so to make it bigger do you just cut the shape out bigger?

[derfday]

I made thes and my homemade gum paste cracked as soon as it dried do you have any suggestions.

[nivia91]

I think something was wrong with your homemade gumpaste. I usually buy fondant and add tylose powder. However, I am not quite sure what the reason could apart from the type of gumpaste, sorry!

[Pixirinin]

Just made the shoes and they look great, many thanks from Spain : )

[nivia91]

I am glad :)

[zbm373]

nice

[nivia91]

Seriously, I love seeing what people can with food.

[nivia91]

Thanks for the comment

The first one is called running away by midnight hour, and the second one Antes muerta que sencilla by Maria Isabel

[BirdOfParadise777]

Oh my! Sooooo cute:)

Did you wait until the shoes were dry before you put the shine on? Thanks;)

BOP

[nivia91]

Yes I did¨! Thank you once again for your comment :)

[jenchoo37]

it's so pretty..i finally understood now after watching how it's done. i'm a bit thick when it comes to reading instructions!! thank you.

[nivia91]

I am glad that it could understand how to make the shoes by watching the video. I love being helpful to anyone! :)

[cintacakes]

This is an awesome tutorial. Thanks Nivia for sharing.

[nivia91]

Thank you :)

[mackandnorm]

Great work Nivia! Love the little intro to your daughter - thats why I dont do tutorials yet - the constant interuptions from my 2 little ones would drive me nuts; ) great work again!

[nivia91]

Thank you Andrea! I know what you mean. It takes me too long to make a tutorial. I try to do it when the weather is good, so she can play outside while I do it. I would love to add more details to the shoes but my daughter is still very demanding.

You must be even busier than me with two children under 5.

Anyway, even with little ones around, your cakes are awesome!

[RylanTy]

Thanks for the tutorial. Your creations are AMAZING

[nivia91]

Thank you :D I am still learning! You made my day :)

[hdblissbomb]

You are so patient with those fiddly bits ... I think it would drive me nuts!! I love the lustre dust finish - it makes quite a difference doesn't it.

by the way - I love the little explaination about your daughter ...lol!

[nivia91]

You need to be very patient! I don't have a lot of time to make my creations even more detailed because of my little one, she quite demanding!

Look at her in the video, touching everything, naughty naughty hahahaha! She even eats my gumpaste, when she sees me working with it, she comes and says cake cake cake! So cute :)

[fairytalecakes]

good job!!! those are so cute

[nivia91]

Thanks :)

[aMyDiCkASoN]

[nivia91]

Thank you :)

[merlicakes]
