1 box yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups fat-free salad dressing, such as Miracle Whip
1 egg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups finely shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 container cream cheese frosting
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13x2″ baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Put the cake mix in a large bowl and add the salad dressing, egg, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of water. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer just until blended. Stir in the carrots and walnuts. Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for about 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. When the cake is cool, frost with cream cheese frosting.

You need 3 cupcakes for one pair of booties.
Slice one cupcake in half horizontally. (You will end up with two short circles.) Then slice off a part of the curved section on both circles to get a flat edge on both circles. Discard the small curved section.
Put some frosting on the flat edge of one short circle and attach to one whole cupcake. (The whole cupcake is the high-top of the bootie and the short circle is the toe of the bootie.)
Repeat with the other short circle and whole cupcake. Frost the cupcakes with either pink or blue icing and then sprinkle generously with coconut. The coconut makes them look fuzzy.
Then use tube-type decorating icing to make shoelaces. You can also dye the coconut pink or blue to match the frosting if you like.
