Sugar Shoe Tutorial


There are many products available to make your shoe out of, I chose Squires Kitchen Flower paste  I also like to use Tylose powder in my sugarpaste which dry’s quickly and super hard.

dry the sole and rear heel on a former, glue the heel down, I used a Styrofoam shoe former but you
can use cardboard or even a real shoe if you can bear to cut it up.

If you choose to do another additional inner sole you could paint it if you like, I chose an edible metallic silver paint.
