This theme birthday cake is all about shoes.
Make a sheet cake the size that you need. Ice it in white buttercream icing.
On the top of the cake, mark in from the edge 1 and 1/2
to 2 inches all the way around. With a knife lightly mark the lines
connecting to each other until you have a rectangle.
Do the lace work on the sides and the top edge (outside of the
rectangle that you just made) of the cake. To do the lace work, use
white icing and a round tip, size #4 or #5. Just make squiggle lines
over the space you are to fill in. Refer to the above picture.
Using the picture as a reference, use star tip, size #16 and various different colors of icing to make the shoes.
Write your message in colored icing and round tip, size #5.
