When I say Yummy Shoes, I really mean Yummy

My mom always has her nose in her cake decorating books, coming up with new ideas.  She never stops creating and I'm so thankful for that. She knows that I love shoes, and she brought me these today.

at first glance, these might look like Dorothy's magic slippers to take her to the land of Oz, but in reality, they are the tastiest cutest cupcakes you ever will experience.  Home made Red Velvet cakes with a sweet cream cheese frosting top with red sparklies! Who could ask for anything more?

I showed these to my friends and they all asked the same questions. They wanted to know how these are made, and how they can be 100% edible.  Well my faithful blog followers, I'm going to break it down for you.  Grab your notebooks and pencils, because with the right tools, you'll be surprised at how super easy these are to construct.

Here's another view of the shoe to give you a better understanding.

The Obvious:

Take notice of the front platform. That's your cupcake. inside of a foil metalic wrapper

See that bow on the front? That's a stick of Big Red cinnamon bubble gum.

The Not so Obvious:

Take that slope leading to the heel for instance; you look, look, look some more, and you say "What the heck is that made from?"  I'm here to tell you that is nothing other than an orginal Graham Cracker piece.  That's right, just frost the center with whatever color you want the inside of the shoe to be, and then frost the edges to match the cupcake.  Once that is done, you'll want to slide it diagnally into the edge of the cupcake. 

That sure does look like a wooden high heel, doesnt it?  That, my friends, is a Pepperidge Farm Piroutte cookie.  Just cut it to the height you want your shoe to be, put some frosting at the top of it to use as a base to connect to the shoe.

Wouldnt these make sweet Valentines treats,  or fun snacks for the next Girls Night out?



Happy Baking and Building !
