Olivia Birthday Cake

This cake was made for a girl who loves shoes, and also reading. 
 Her favorite character is Olivia.  I wanted to make a cake that incorporated both of them. 


In Olivia she asks her mom to read her one book, or two, or three. 
 I took that saying from the book and added a twist on it about shoes. 

If you have read the book, you would know that everything is in red, black and white. 
Olivia only wears red, because it is the best color.

Olivia and the 5 pair of red shoes were made out of gumpaste. 
Everything is completely edible.

The bottom cake was a 10" cake, the top layer 6". 
The cake was strawberry flavor, with vanilla buttercream, and homemade fondant.  

Happy Birthday!
