This cake was created for my daughter Ashley’s 4th birthday.

She has been in love with the Wizard of Oz since she was about 2 years old.

This year she insisted on a Wizard of Oz party and I racked my brain on how to create a cake to fit the theme. I figured of all the elements of the movie, the ruby slippers would be not only the cutest, but best thing to make.

I started with two loaf pans, hand sculpted the shoes from that then decorated with the buttercream & chocolate frosting.

I created bows out of sour candy strips and sprinkled the cake with the red glitter sprinkles. It was by far the hardest cake I had mad at this point, but definitely a huge success when I saw my little girls face when she first looked at it!
