A confectioner has come up with some exciting gifts for women -- designer shoes and handbags made out of chocolate.

Frances Cooley, a cake maker, has developed a collection of individual shoes -- including zebra stripes and polka dot versions -- which she makes by hand in her own kitchen.

She launched the range after discovering a vintage chocolate shoe mould in Belgium.

Cooley, 47, who runs Clifton Cakes in Bristol, said that the collection is selling like hotcakes despite the 21-pound price tag.

"People are wowed about them because it's the perfect gift for a woman -- chocolate and stiletto shoes put together," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

"They've been selling like hot cakes. This past year sales have been incredible."

"They've been sold alongside pink champagne at some stores as well, and I could see someone drinking the champagne right out of the shoe," she added.
