Manolo Blahnik-Inspired Cake

Customized Manolo Blahnik Cake

One of my friend’s parents are excellent cake designers. For a recent party they made a Manolo Blahnik–inspired cake.

The bottom part of the cake is designed as a shoe box with the shoe sitting on top. And the best part–it is all edible and delicious!

These are not just the regular galoshes. They are designed for a variety of shoes including heels. Check them out and let me know what you think about them! www.swims.com

Stretching your Shoes with Ice: It Really Works!

So, referring back to one of my blog posts in August, I included a link to an instructional video on how to stretch your shoes with ice. Well, I have finally gotten around to trying it out.

One of my co-workers had a pair of shoes she needed stretched out, so it began… Below are the steps we used…

Insert a water-filled bag into shoe

Again, insert a water-filled bag into the other shoe

 

Before putting the shoes into the freezer, put them in a bag.

 

Place the shoes in the freezer for a couple hours (until the ice freezes)

 

Remove the ice

 

The shoes. Fit perfectly!
