Can You Help Me Make A Ballet Slipper Cake?
Decorating By projectqueen Updated 25 Jun 2006 , 5:56am by mendhigurl
I want to make a ballet cake for my daughter's recital. I was thinking about carving a small sheet cake into the shape of 2 ballet slippers.
Has anyone seen a template I can use to trace to make these? I can try it freehand, but not quite sure how it will look when I'm done with it. Never carved a cake before.
Also, any tips on what to do about icing all the raw edges all the way around the cake? Will a crumb coat do it? I'm using buttercream.

http://www.sweetartcookies.com/ she has a cute cookie in the shape of one slipper, but I thought that might give you an idea as well.
I think a crumb coat should work fine, it would be just like icing the sides of a character pan. Love to see how it looks.
