Baby Shower Converse cake

Simple baby shower cake for a family friend. This was actually my first attempt at gum paste converse. I knew what the shoe looked like just couldn't figure out to put it together. Somehow, it came together and this is what it turned out like. I must say next time they will be alot cuter. Baby rattle, hat, onsie and pacifier were made from gumpaste also. By the way, I love the CK Product gumpaste mix! It does not dry out and crumble smooth and so pliable. I will post the link if you are interested in a template for converse. There are several templates out there but I will post the one I used, you might have to enlarge or zoom before you print to get the size shoe you want. Thanks for looking.
