Hi, all ~

I will be making a ballet cake with the slippers on top made of fondant. Can you all give me any pointers? I have the template from this site (from a thread).

thanks!

Pointers on which part?

My suggestion on anything made of fondant, especially anything big like ballet slippers, would be to start EARLY. Fondant always takes much longer to dry than I think or hope it will.

Good luck with the cake, sounds like a cute idea. Post a photo when you're done.

Where did you got the templates from?
here is a ballerina cake from one of my favorite website

AI'm going to try my hand at ballet slippers in the next couple of weeks. How did yours turn out? Can you give me any pointers?! I have the template, but not feeling very confident :-/. Thanks!

AUse gumpaste, not fondant.
