Once the shape is created, you will need to add texture to the shoe in order to make it look realistic. You can do this with tools such as ribbing tools or a small paintbrush.

After the texture has been added, you will need to color the gumpaste ballet shoe using edible food coloring. You may want to experiment with different colors and combinations until you find one that suits your cake design. After this step is complete, let the shoe dry completely before moving on.

Once the gumpaste ballet shoe is dry, it is time to add details such as ribbons, buckles and other decorations. These can be made from fondant or gumpaste and then attached with a dab of edible glue or water. For extra flair, use edible glitter or sugar pearls for added shimmer.
