High Heel Cupcakes!

Every little girl loves to play dress up and wear her mom’s high heel shoes. I can remember wearing my mom’s, but best of all was my grandmother’s high heels, they looked like glass slippers, just like Cinderella’s. My sisters and I would debate whose turn it was to wear them. Now decades later we have no clue what happened to those famous glass slippers my grandmother had. That’s something we will never forget and always treasure.

My daughter, now 24, used to prance around the house taking turns wearing all my high heels – she was much prettier than I was in them, and still is. We wear the same size shoe now, and while she sometimes will borrow a pair of mine, I find I’m more inclined to borrow hers.

The other day we were sitting in the kitchen together laughing and going through old photos when we came across these.

She had high heels on (which you can’t see) in each of these pictures, though covered by her gowns. As you can see, she looked like a princess. She still is! Now her high heels fit her feet, but it’s still fun to play dress up, even if it’s at the department store.

As we sat in the kitchen flipping through the pages of our family photo albums, we decided it would be fun to create our very own high heel cupcakes. While these can’t be worn out on the streets, let alone on your feet, we had fun constructing these darling, whimsical treats.

Whether you’re five, 25, 55 or 85 years old, every women remembers how beautiful she felt when wearing high heels. Now you can create your own to display, and devour, with this fun recipe for High Heel Cupcakes. Let your imagination run wild while you, and your daughter, grandkids, or friends, create these face to face in the kitchen.

After all it’s what little girls and big girls are made of….Sugar & Spice, and everything Nice!
