Thanks. Not sure what I'll make the heel out of...thought about thick pretzel sticks coated with candy melts. I thought about putting them on a cake board and into a cake box. Thought of adhering them to the board with candy melts or royal. I want them table ready so the client has no breakage from handling.
I've never made 'em -- so there's that -- but what about little paper lace doilies the tiny size -- and you could attach each one to that and show the client how to handle them
you probably should glue a little circle of cardboard under the doily -- it'd probably be too hard to handle without a bit sturdier base underneath there
Oh...I understand.
@K8memphis looks like dollies are back in fashion. Just saw a ton of them in our supermarket in all sizes!
I'd say it depends what the heel is made of... You could use pirouettes or similar or waffles. A brezel stick it super thin and the chances of breakage during transport higher. Are they for an adult or a child? And what kind of event? I think once you've decided on a heel it is easier to come up with a solus ion for transport.
Oh and they shouldn't fall apart when handled...that's the whole fun for the guests...to eat an entire high heel :)
I made my heel and soles out of sugar cookies.. Ive made them twice..first time using lady fingers and breadsticks (which I didn't find strong enough), 2nd time with the sugar cookies, and they turned out great! Glued them together with royal icing then glued them onto a decorated cake board... Hth!
These are for an 85-year olds birthday. Supposedly she wore high heels until she was 75. I just can't imagine wearing high heels at all :-). I think the heel will be made with pretzel rods. Experimented a bit by coating them with candy melts and fondant. Both would work. Pretzel rods make the heel stronger. Pirouette cookies are stronger with fondant around them also. Candy melts don't work too well on them.
@cupkakesp I'm guessing you rolled the sugar cookie dough into a log before baking? How did you get all of them the same size?
Yes.. First I measured from the bottom of the heel to the board so I knew how big to make them (very easy to control what heel height you want)! Then I rolled out a log and cut out my lengths.. I angled one side to use when attaching to the sole... This way I can color them to match:)! then baked them:). I had to trim the flat edge when they were finished baking as they rounded a bit, but worked great after that:)
