on, then use chocolate or royal icing to anchorthe bow. easy and adorable! want to add some sparkle?â that's tip 2.just brush over the shoes with luster dust. i am using a clean, dry brush and a littlebit of pearl dust. tip three is another easy add-on! we can createa button in a couple easy steps. i am using a piping tip and a small roundcutter. roll out a bit of gumpaste and cut a disk with the round cutter. use the largeend of the piping tip to emboss an inside ring....like a real button. don't cut toodeep though, we just want to leave a mark. now use the small end of the piping tip tocut some button holes and glue it on. now that our topper option are complete, letsput it all together.
