Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Has any one made a Nike trainer shoe ? Just wondering if you have any you
Tips.

Hi harrison-Brenda

For a good guide on how to tackle a trainer, take s as peek at the football boot tutorial here:
https://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/football-boots/

It would also be very useful to download a template for the type of trainer you wish to make. I’ve googled Nike trainer template and found some good results.

You’ll also find several good guides and tutorials on YouTube. Just search for Nike trainer cake tutorial.

Hope suggestions help. ?

Hi Harrison-Brenda,

I’ve found searching online for the make/model you are making and printing off as many different views of it as you can. Plus if you are making it to scale, re-scale each view to the size you need so you can compare it as you carve it.

Another tip is when carving to ensure you allow for the extra width/height your ganache/sugarpaste will add, therefore avoiding your end cake being wider/taller than it should be.

Hope this helps 🙂
