Having a daughter who loves ballet, I just had to make these pretty ballet cookies for her. They are made with my own (paper) templates, so no cookie cutters used. I used a little Brush embroidery on the Tutu, to get the “look” like layers of tulle. I think that it worked out very good. Both cookies are decorated with royal icing.
The pretty little pink ballet shoe or point shoe if you like? Would also be charming to use as edible place cards for a pretty pink ballet party. The shiny pink satin ribbon just finish off the shoe.
I made three of each kind and I used the rest of the ballet cookies, as a little gift for my daughters ballet teacher and her assistant at the end of season dance yesterday.
Happy Caking!
Louise
I think this cookies is very delicious. Great idea!
Someone down in Venezuela is passing these off as their own work. A friend discovered they used her cake pics on their facebook page also. You may want to report them also.

They have 25 of my photos on their site!!!! I am so tired of this. I have sent an email and how that this helps, and then I will report them too. Thank you so much for letting me know.
Can you please tell me if they have removed the photos? I can’t get access to the site now. Thanks!
These are reallu beautiful. What cookie cutter did you use for the ballerina shoe.

Thank you! It’s a template that I have made myself.
These ballet slippers are adorable! I would love to make them for my daughter’s ballet themed party, would I be able to get the template for them?
Oh my gosh.. I wish I had a mom like you when I was a little girl. Would be great if you made a tutorial for this actually.
These are beautiful ballet slippers. My granddaughter will be in the Nutcracker & they are looking for a special cookie for the cast members. I think we found our cookie.. Will have to download the template… Thank you for your beautiful work & ideas…
These are just so pretty! any little girl would love them….they are fit for a Princess.

Hi Louise,
Your biscuits are beautiful! I made the butterfly ones for our school fete and everyone loved them.
I now want to attempt these gorgeous ballet ones. Just a couple of questions. When you pip the RI on do you do this by hand? It look like on the dress you have used a template but I am sure you have done this by hand. do you have any tips for a newbie working with RI? I was also wondering if you had a recipe for buttercream? I am going to make some of your gorgeous cupcakes. You are my inspiration! thankyou!
All of these look delicious may i suggest this website it’s called freecakebook.com
These are fantastic! My niece is a ballerina and would love these! I can’t wait to try them!!!
Your work is so beautiful the cookies are amazing. Look forward to the tutorial and templates I know my dear little granddaughter would love them.
gnee: Thank you 🙂
Jennifer: It my own templates. I am planing a tutorial with templates too. But it will not be avalible untill a couple of weeks. Making tutorials takes time 😉
I love these cookies.. My Lil girl does dancing and was wondering what type of cookie cutter you used and where did you get them? They look so amazing!
Louise, you made the “Top Five Hits,” at Singing With Birds this week. Come check us out and grab a button, and thanks for sharing your adorable cookies with us!
Nadine from USA: You can use ganache under fondant if you dont like buttercream and you can pipe with it. Only it will not give you the same workability like RI.
I would not use ganache on cookies though.
gloria p: They could most certainly.
Jen: I use the non stick kind for rolling out cookie dough and small fondant, then I have a large wooden rolling pin for my fondant cover for the cakes. You can get the rolling pins at most cake decorating supply shops and cookie cutter sites.
Mariel: I often draw my templates when I cant find a ready made cutter that I like. I use some thick strong paper for the templates. I am however planning on getting my templates made into real cookie cutters from a US shop.
Adorable!!! and perfect shapes. How do you do your own paper templates??? I often need shapes not commercially available. My little performer just acted on a pirate play and made fondant pirate cookies for the whole cast and one big pirate ship for the director!!! I am also a self taught baker and I am glad I found your site. Thanks for sharing all your tips and creative spirit.
Those are darling, and I’m sure their teachers enjoyed them 🙂
Btw, I have something for you on my blog!
Louise, what kind of rolling pin do you use and do you know where I can get one in the US? I LOVE your site! Thanks for the great tutorials!
Oh wow! these are so beautiful! you have an AMAZING blog! it’s so fancy!
Yay! I’m so happy I happened to see the post for your adorable ballet cookies! They are simply wonderful and so, so sweet! I think the ribbon accent adds just the perfect touch to your perfect cookies!
These are just so sweet, what little girl wouldn’t love these!
Wonderful! Can’t wait to try to decorate biscuits. I’ve been following you for a while and you have an amazing page.
Regards
This is so cute and clever. The tutu looks like you had a cutter, and the details are so great!
Beautiful! Love your creatity and exquisite execution! My first time visiting your site. Great job!
Love, love, love…just beautiful! And clever to boot 🙂
Very romantic! A real treat for a little ballerina!
Such a simple but effective idea – love the shoes especially! Bet your daughter loved them
just beautiful!
The ballet shoe concept could be used to make (in profile) pink or blue bootie/baby shoe cookies for a baby shower.
As always, these are gorgeous!!
Oh, how CUTE!
Suzanne
Very nice and useful blog. I would use it to work in my confectionery company. Thank. Adding a blog reader

These cookies are just beautiful, I will definitely have to make some for my niece who is a very keen ballerina!!
These ballet cookies are so cute-my niece would love them!Don´t quite know if my baking skills are up to your standards though!
These are the prettiest and most feminine cookies I have ever seen. Well done. Your daughter and teachers must have beamed from ear to ear!
i love these cookies. they are so sweet.
Louise, These are absolutely beautiful! Since I have a boy, I rarely get to do the girly-girl thing. These are SO cute!!
that you were beautiful and the cookies are delicious !!!
Good day, I have an irrelevant question.Can I use whipped cream or ganache instead of buttercream for frosting and/or royal icing. How can I make them stiffer or runnier without breaking. I dont like the taste of royal icing nor the taste of buttercream. Can you help me? Do you have an alternative for RI/Buttercream? Many thanks.
These are amazing! I have two daughters who both do ballet – they love these 😀
Those are adorable! YOu are so creative and I love your pictures!
Gorgeous as usual Louise!!
So classy and adorable! Well done & thanks for a fabuylous website!
Wow!!! Too cute!!! My little girl would love to give these to her ballet teacher…not to mention eat some herself 🙂
Thanks for the great idea!!
there are really pretty. I love the shades of pastel that you use on your creations.
So simple and sweet!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Hi Louise it´s a beatiful work so look adorables
thanks for the send
Your cookies are so beautiful, I enjoy seeing all your work.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful!!
Yes, please, would appreciate if you could do the pdf print.
Love them! The ribbons and the tutu effect especially.
loatc: They are decorated with royal icing.
Sada Ray: that would be a great match.
Alecia: I have flooded with RI
sofia: It dont take that much longer when cutting out by hand. But you need to pay attention and not rushing it. I do like a cutter at all times.
Nutmeg: I will see if I can get them on a pdf print. Its flooded RI.
Wanda: Ohh cute story:-) kids do change their mind fasts, one day riding, next ballet, tennis and it can go on like almost forever.
Mari: I make sure that the cookie dough is fairly cold and then I use a litle sharp knife.
Jan Chauvin: It can be hard sometimes… to find time for everything that you love 🙂
nita: they only boy subjects that my son loves are trains and cars. But of course a boy theme would be a good thing to do.
Gena Evans: I will see if I can get it on a pdf print.
So lovely ! Your daughter must have loved them !
Wow, I LOVE LOVE LOVE these. My daughter is crazy about ballet as well. She’ll flip if she sees these. You’re so talented.
so sweet and beautiful
These are beautiful and awesome. Can you share the templates?
Lovely idea Louise! I especially love the ribbon attached on the top. So cute!
Absolutely beautiful – now can you do a ‘soccer inspired’ bakey-thing? I would love to see your take on a ‘boy’ subject, if all you other makes are anything to go by.
oh my! how absolutely lovely. so beautiful and sweet. what a dear, sweet, mommy you are!
I love your simplistic creativity in all your ideas!
Fantastic.
These are Awsome – well done!. When do you find the time for all these great ideas? You are an inspiration to us all.
Love the final touch of the ribbon!!!
Louise ~ You did an amazing job on the cookies! The ribbon on the slippers really completed the look as well as the details on the tutu.
WOW! You never cease to amaze me! Those are so adorable.
Genius O_o
They are beautiful! Perfect for my little princess. what do you use to cut the cookies when you use your own paper templates?
Hola from, Dominican Republic,
Mari
I love your cookies, thank’s for your recepies¡¡¡¡¡
These are beautiful! I love the ribbon detail.
My daughter took ballet for a while and right before her recital she decided she wanted to become an artist and wanted art classes. She didn’t have a clue what a recital was and all it took to make it happen. She small still to know much things, I did explain, but kids tend to change there minds of what they love easily. Good luck to your little one! Love your cookies!
Stunning as always Louise!! I love them!
Those are awesome!!! Do you have the templates online? What is the pink — fondant or a flooded royal icing? They’re just darling! LOVE that tutu!! 😀
PRECIOUS, they cound not been more beautiful. Congratulation por exquisite taste and work.
So sweet! I love them!
Kim

Darling cookies!
I love these ones very much! If you don’t use cookie cutters how long does it take you to hand cut all the cookies?!?
How sweet!
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing.
They look fabulous! Did you use sugarpaste as the base or did you flood the cookies with royal icing?
Amazing ballet cookies 😉
These are totally cute… love them. great job.
These are stunning Louise. I’m holding a party for a friend who was in the Royal Ballet in the UK and you’ve inspired me!
Very Beautiful! How did you get the frosting so “perfect”, did you use fondant?
These are the sweetest cookies! Your daughter is one lucky little girl 🙂
