I too love shoe and purse cake. I too wear high heals when i can and would much prefer that to some thing with just sugar flowers. Putting a shoe on top of a cakes is just the same as anything else, we do to put on our cakes we. I once done a bus cake but we would'nt eat that.

What is with the crocs anyway they are so ugly. I'm a mum and would never in a million years wear them. But that's peoples taste. If someone put them on a cake some of us would prob say the same thing as about shoes and heels.

What would be worse than cutting a pregnant baby cake? Making it red velvet and also like a King Cake and putting a plastic baby (like the baby Jesus) in it!

Those gross cakes (toilet, litter boxes, etc) and adult cakes would be weird too.

Like Mary Alice said on Duff's show--like a cake made to look like your beloved pet...then eating an eyeball or something. Or a dog butt agh no thanks I'll pass.

I have to laugh because in the 70's we owned a brand-name shoe store franchise. So, at our grand opening, we had a size 18 man's sneaker shoe cake made... I have to laugh at the Sex and the City idea... that show had nothing to do with shoe cakes... they have been around for a long, long time. Women have had a love affair with shoes for generations and there have been cakes for many, many centuries which have been "theme cakes". Only with the invention of the internet has this come to become more common knowledge. So... there have been many, many themed cakes over the centuries for the royals, as well as those we affectionately know as "commoners". It is not a new thing.

I think this is such a funny subject. I don't mind the shoe cakes (haven't done one but don't mind them). BUT as for crocs... see my DH is one that HIDES my ugly shoes... Yes.. he does girls... He HIDES my nice comfortable crocs... AND the slip on's.. ya know.. the ones that look like they should lace up but really don't? He has them stashed somewhere but won't tell me where

Ohh and I am a size 10... I hate putting them next to my DH's feet which are a size 9!!!!

Dang, all you people with tiny feet...

Um, has anyone done a "Crocs" cake?

Why do we have to give an explanation why ?

Why the shoe ?
Why the baseball bat ?
Why a Hat ?
Why a box ?
Why a Fish ?
Why a Frog ?
Why a Fairy ?
Why Farm Animals ?

etc.....
why why why ?

because Enquiring Minds want to know!

Well .. why not LOL

Well, good luck with the "WHY" thing.

Everyone who eats roses or other flowers on a regular basis, raise your hand.

Sugared violets are tasty...

ewww we are supposed to eat something other than cake?

I have worn 4-6" heels since I was 12 years old until this past year (I am 2 when I started having my arches fall. But, I refused to give up heels for ugly crocs, but I did find some cute wedged ones and heeled ones that are oh so comfy and haven't had a problem since I started wearing them 6 months ago.

I am one of those people wth a great love of shoes. I probably have sixty or seventy pair at any one time. all in boxes and lined up in the closets. I can no longer wear heels but I still have them hoping someday my knee will let me wear them again. I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of Crocs. Way ugly to me JMO. I also have collection of over 375 miniature shoes by Raine called Just The Right Shoe. My avatar is one of them. The lady bug one is special to me because we called my grandaughter our little lady bug for a long time. I have made a shoe box cake complete with a shoe for a friend who also loves shoes. I was so grateful when the tutorial was posted because I had seen so many shoe cakes and wanted to make one really bad.

indydebi, I think you have your answer. Do you see how this shoe "cake" discussion quickly turned into a "shoe" discussion?

I am not a shoe person myself, about 2 or 3 comfortable pairs is all I need to take me through life, but I've noticed a lot of women, if not most are kind of obsessed with shoes. My two daughters own more pairs of shoes at this moment than I think I've owned in my life. My step mom doesn't call it a shopping trip unless she comes home with a new pair of shoes.

SO, without answering your question, we've answered your question. Women love shoes!!

If I stopped and thought about why I do half the things I do. I'd be standing still with a dumb look on my face for most of the day.
And my head would hurt.
Sad but true.

I don't care what you put on a cake, shoes, crocs, hammers, a belly, butts, poop - I'll eat it!! LOL The first thing I think when I see a cake is when can I eat it?!?!?! After you cut it up and throw it on a plate it all looks the same, YUMMY!!!! So I'll take all your red velvet belly's, your king cake babies, your butts and kitty litter poop - I love to eat cake the most!!!

I don't know if I've ever really stopped to think about why someone would put something on a cake or make a cake into a certain shape. I guess I'm just a junk food lover and when I see something that's cake, no matter what shape I think, I have to eat that right now!!

I don't get the whole fountain thing under cakes, I mean, where on earth do you find red, purple or emerald green water? (personally I think that is something that should have stayed in the 70's - 80's ) but I guess that's another thread!!

Now does anyone have any cake for me to eat?
