I had so much fun making the little converse shoes for this cake. (The feet cutouts weren't my favorite...I attempted to use cookie cutters, and they looked like alien feet!)
The cake was a buttercream base with fondant embellishments. Then a little buttercream detail on top of the fondant. The brown icing and fondant is chocolate flavored. Adding cocoa to the icing helps achieve the brown color without having to add a ton of color.
I used plastic shoe forms to get the shape of the converse, but everything else is fondant. Edible ink pens helped me with the logo...one day I will get a food safe printer....one day!
