the is nt due until the 29th so i do have time to correct this issue but i need help!!!!!!!!!
thank u all in advance
I'm no expert but maybe you should try making the sole from gum paste instead of fondant as it is sturdier. Also, which ever material you do use (gum paste or fondant) do not put it in the fridge. It will be worse.
HTH
Gumpaste would be more stable--I'm not an expert in shoe making, by any stretch, but do know it does dry harder and more quickly.
thank u all very much
i wanted to make the shoe red and black and didnt buy any gumpaste in those colors soooo i am now stuck bc if i use the white gum paste on the shoe then the shoe wont look the same.....i will see what i can do maybe i can do it in white and air brush it in black??? mmmmmm i will let u guys know how it turns out.....thank u soooo much ![]()
If you are using fondant are you adding any tylose powder to help it dry harder?
I added Tylose to my fondant. When your shoe is finished place it in the oven oven turned off of course and leave the light on. It will help it dry faster. This is how I made my shoe.
