Giant Trainer Shoe Cake for Sussex Living Marathon Run

5 Foot Giant Trainer Shoe Cake



Today, I'm thrilled to share with you a project that combines my passion for sugar art with the dedication and energy of the Sussex Living Marathon Run participants.

As you might have heard, a five-foot giant trainer shaped cake was recently unveiled at The Martlet Shopping Centre in Burgess Hill. This creation served not only as a centrepiece for the marathon run weekend but also as a delicious treat for all participants! Witnessing the smiles and excitement as runners savored a slice after completing their challenge was truly rewarding.

More than 300 runners took part in the Sussex Marathon

Cutting the cake

This impressive cake took 50 hours of meticulous work to bring to life. Crafting the intricate details of the trainer required dedication and precision, while ensuring the cake remained delectable. It consumed over 25 kg of fondant and 9 kg of buttercream, a testament to the sheer scale and effort poured into this project.


More than just a cake, this giant trainer symbolised the triumph and determination of all the runners who participated in the Sussex Living Marathon. It was a sweet reminder of the hard work, dedication, and perseverance they displayed on the race day.

Sweet Success


I hope this project not only fueled runners after their accomplishment but also brought a touch of joy and artistic inspiration to the entire event.

Congratulations once again to all the Sussex Living Marathon participants!


Can you guess the weight of the cake?

Prince William & Kate Middleton Royal Wedding Cake

I use this ideal home show cake competition as a great opportunitiy to do something different, other than the usual decorated round tiered cake people normally expect for a classic tiered wedding cake. It was really a challenge for me to do this cake. It's a hard work, but I really enjoyed making it. Prince William and Kate Middleton cake is made of traditional english fruit cake, carved into 3D busts with an armature inside, covered with apricot jam. The icing was sculpted with details and then airbrushed with colours to make it look more realistic. It took about 80 hours to make and I uses more than 10kgs marzipan and 10kg Icing sugar. You can see this cake at the " Ideal Food-Ideal Cake Decorato r" section at the Ideal Home Show March 11th -  27th   2011 Earls Court London. I hope I see you there!
