Hmm - Chocolate stiletto mould?

How about a Shoe Box Cake like this. That way you can just mould a shoe for the top (or even buy one of those miniature shoe ornaments I saw everywhere before Xmas).

Alternatively could you opt for a handbag cake instead as that looks easier and there are loads of examples.

Another mould.

Another option is to buy a High Heel Shoe Cake Plate and put a normal/plain birthday cake on it

oops, link doesn't take you to right page. If you put Shoe in the sites search box you will see it.

Heres one with a one shoe box

Not sure whether this video helps or throws up more questions.

and another

If you made a rectangular sponge, sliced off the top part for a "lid", covered both bits in rolled out icing and then decorated with either icing pens or the powder/liquid colours that would make the box. It looks like they've used satiny fabric for the lining on this one. You could then mould a shoe from the rolled out icing or, like I said, cheat and buy one .

If you make a shoe you could decorate with anything really as that bit wouldn't be for eating anyway (sequins, crystals, feathers!!)

I read that bit too and thought " if only I had the time to spend a week decorating a bloody icing shoe".

I guess eveyones priorities are different

Oh WOW - that's fabulous. A massive well done to you. She's going to be so thrilled, but how will you be able to let anyone cut it up to eat it.

Message withdrawn

Wow! That is absolutely fantastic!

I'm really impressed at how great it looks -she'll be so chuffed

Now go and pour yourself a well-earned drink
