My first time making a shoebox cake and shoes! Thank you everyone on CC who posted tips and tricks - I spent hours pouring over them, mapping out my plan of attack! The base and lid are cake - coconut cake with pina coloada filling (so good!), and covered in fondant. The tissue paper, rolled roses, accent pieces on the box and lettering are fondant. The shoes are a fondant gumpaste mix. This was also the first time I used my clothes steamer on a cake - it was cool and now I have a new cake toy-that I already had:)
