DIY Neon Toe Shoes

Ok, so I am not the craftiest person in the world but when I saw this DIY neon toe shoes project, I was thinking that I can totally do this.  Coloring the tips of some old flats or neutral pumps can really pump up your pumps.  I found this on www.greenweddingshoes.com

Ingredients:

    • 1 box of  vanilla cake mix
    • 1 can of vanilla frosting
    • White chocolate melts
    • various pastel colored chocolate melts
    • Lollipop sticks 6′

Directions:

1. Prepare the cake mix as per instructions on the box.
2. Bake cake at 350 degrees. Once cake is baked, set to cool.
3. Once cake is cool, crumble it in a large mixing bowl.
4. Mix the crumble cake together with the vanilla frosting.
5. Once mixed, place it in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
6. Roll the cake into balls. Once rolled, place them in the freezer for about an hour.
7. Once you have your cake balls rolled in the freezer, start melting the chocolate.
8. Remove the cake balls from the freezer.
9. One at a time get a lollipop stick and dip the stick about 1/2 inch of the tip into the melted candy coating and
then insert the lollipop stick straight into a cake ball, pushing it no more than halfway through. Hold the cake ball
and turn it back and forth or softly tap it, so the excess chocolate falls off. Place cake pops in the refrigerator to dry out completely.
Once dry you can wrap it individually.  Decorate with festive sprinkles!

Kiss me, I’m Irish

Although I am not Irish, I love St. Patrick’s Day.  It is a holiday filled with laughter, excitement, and delicious food.  I designed a simple, low maintenance outfit for inspiration!  {H&M colored jeans, plain tee, OPI Mermaid tears, & some adorable shoes & salmon scarf}

Pistachio Cake

Every year around St. Patty’s day I make my famous Pistachio cake.  It’s also perfect for Easter! It is so easy & festive and the moist, pistachio flavor is incredible.  The recipe can be found from last year’s post: https://candystilettos.com/2011/03/15/pistachio-cupcakes/
