My good mommy friend, Lara, asked whether I could make a cake with a pair of pink ballerina slippers on a white base for her daughter's birthday cake. I've never done a modeled cake before but if you've been following my progress, I am not one to pass an opportunity when given but instead I'll face it, head on.

After doing countless research on the internet and poring over my cake decorating books, I finally came up with this. My aim was to only use two colors as to make it simple and sweet. You know the saying, less is more.

The hardest part was to model the slippers. I lost count on the number of times that I had to re roll and remodel the slippers but I'm very happy with the final outcome.

I hope the birthday girl, Elmira, liked her birthday cake as much as I loved doing it. Oh, by the way, this cake is a hefty 3 kg Chocolate Moist Cake which could feed a whole class. Talk about sugar high hehehhe...
