Gumpaste Shoes Tutorial

Welcome to this tutorial on how to make small gumpaste shoes to fit on the top of cupcakes. I really wanted to create a new tutorial and I have had such an amazing response to these cupcakes with people asking how the shoes were made, so I thought I would make this tutorial to show you. The shoes are 3cm in length and in order to make these shoes you will need to download the template for the different parts. Click here to download the template.

I hope you like this tutorial and find it of use, if you have any comments or suggestions please let me know.

  • Hi Lynz,
    these were wonderfully inspiring – I was originally content to make a lot of miniature nail polish bottles and handbags but after your brilliant tutorial I made masses to put on my daughter’s birthday cupcakes and a larger one for a cake.
    My daughter adored them – thank you!
    All the very best for future inspirations.

    • Hi Katy, Thank you for your comment, I’m so glad my tutorial was helpful for you.

  • This tutorial is so well done. You explained everything in a way anyone can do this… easy to follow directions. I was just so amazed. I kept saying to my husband, throughout the video, Honey, this is unbelievable. I know I can do this! I used to be a cake decorator… many moons ago. :) Thank you for taking the time to teach all of us who are watching this tutorial. And, it was so kind of you to supply us with the template.
