kick me.
that's the sign someone should've put on my back
when i came up with this idea.
cuz making these will probably
but the results are worth it in the end.
if you've been reading my blog for a little bit, you know that i had a sports party for my son and have been making sports themed treats such as this, this, this and this.
i had to include soccer so when
i thought of making soccer balls,
all the little hexagons and polygons about threw me over the edge!
so i settled on the shoes.
it's one of the few and rare times that you ever get a chance to eat a shoe and have it be perfectly socially acceptable.
but before we get to the making of these shoes, there are a few simple rules to follow:
1. please pretend the shoes are formed into a perfect cleat and not a baby shoe.
2. please do not call the swoosh company and report me for using their logo. i am just a mere little person in this big world making edible shoes for personal use only.
3. please pretend you are seeing consistent black coloring of these shoes and that i am a pro at photography
(cough cough)
4. please know i am no expert cake pop/bite/dessert maker and most of the time i make things up as i go. i would not recommend these shoes however, to first time cake pop makers. you will most likely never make cake pops ever again if you do.
:>P
ok are we ready?
let's do this.
you'll need:
red velvet cake and frosting of your choice
(i bought some whoopie pies-what you want me to make the cake too? uh, no thank you)
black and white candy melts
black candy sunflower seeds
black and white twine
skewers for dipping
toothpicks
patience (not optional)
got everything?
(i am working on that last ingredient but did manage to use what i had to complete this)
ok first let's get the basic form ready.
(if you've never made cake pops,
i suggest you google it and you will get 99 million ways to do it.)
freeze your cleats til firm.
then go the next steps.
the shoe needs detail so,
and then again, more detail.
that's add SOME!
ugh. let's move on.
then repeat 72,000 times cuz you are making them for a sports party and one shoe will not be enough.
but you gotta have at least 2 y'know?
one thing about these shoes,
they smell much much better than the real thing.
which of course if you have any males in your life,
this is always a good thing.
