If you’ve ever looked through a Sole Collector magazine you’re probably familiar with the pictures submitted by kids which show them licking the soles of their brand new, deadstock sneakers. An exploit which is believed to have been started by Fat Joe. While they may at times be considered buttery, crispy or even icey, sneakers aren’t a recommended choice for your next snack. Unless of course you call upon the talent’s of Larissa Volnitskaia, Debbie Goard, Leah Bent or Erica De La Fé. These are just a few of the cake designers taking the fresh-out-the-box meaning to a whole new level.
