This is a grooms cake I made from a picture the bride sent to me. I had the base of the boot carved from wood ( thanks to my father-in-law) and screwed to to the plywood cake board. I used 5 2in tall oval cakes. I took and outlined the sole of the boot and cut the 2 ovals to match it. The I used dowel rods and stacked the other 3 on top. Fondant it. Used gumpaste for the spur! I love it!
