How would I go about makeing a pair of booties for a baby shower cake?

Here you go.

I'm sure there are other threads, if you do a search for booties. I used the tutorial on this thread last weekend to make the little molded booties and they were easy. I had never worked with fondant before either.

BTW welcome to cake central. You will never get off!

I thought these from M Stewart were adorable. Just waiting for an occasion to make them!

EDITED: sorry, I just realized you were looking for info on making booties for the top of a cake - the Martha link is a cake shaped like booties.

There was an old forum Cup Cake Cake Instructions, calidawn has a tutorial. I found two different links for you to try: http://community.webshots.com/user/cali4dawn AND... http://cakefun.blogspot.com/2005/06/have-your-cake-and-your-cupcake-too.html

This gives you a tutorial of fondant baby booties plus a pattern. The new mother then has something to save from the baby shower.
