This cake turned out to be a royal pain!! Made fondant, colored. Daughter wanted icing, as she doesn't like fondant. Made "vegan" icing. Piped the cake. Daughter & I go to dinner, come home, go for a hour walk. Come home, check the cake. ALL THE ICING ON THE FRONT FELL OFF! Got mad, cleaned the mess. Made more icing with just shortening. Went to bed. Wake up, have coffee, re-pipe, take a pic.... then don't give a darn if it falls off again. I'm done finished with this one! :o)

Well, as I said earlier June, It looks great! And I can see the swirls just perfectly. I know how you feel when you want something to turn out so perfectly and then doesn't, but at least you got an awesome picture...well actually two awesome pictures and no one would know the difference that you had issues other than those at home, because to us it looks perfect!! =O) (I even had to re read your cake description to make sure you had made the shoe because it looks so real)

never made a vegan one , lol , but I bet that's why , its to much water in that margarine !

These darn vegan people - make your life so hard lol!  Bet it tastes wonderful.

Katy: I think it is because I used a vegan margarine, earth balance, which had too much water content. I usually use all shortening. Lesson learned Thanks for the compliment. Hope after all this the darn thing tates good! The scraps did. :o(

By the way - why you think did your icing fall off?

Comment by Katy Nott on May 4, 2013 at 10:20am

June - first off, I feel your pain and I'm so sorry it turned out to be a nightmare for you.  It should be fun.

Second, it turned out amazing.  Looks fab and delicious - what more can you ask?

If you click on view full size, you can see your chocolate swirls much better and they're lovely!
