Directions for Beach Party Cupcakes:

First bake the cupcakes according to box instructions and cool completely.  Next pipe on the blue frosting waves using a #47 basket weave piping tip and cover half of the top of each cupcake.

Next pipe or spread the white frosting on the other half of each cupcake.

Now sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs on the white frosting for sand.

Then using the black edible marker, draw on eyes and a nose on each teddy graham

Next push the Teddy graham’s feet into the gummy lifesaver. Or you could use different candies to make your own beach scene.

Place the Teddy graham in the lifesaver on the water side of the cupcake and stick the umbrella in the sand side of the cupcake.

Now you have the sweetest little cupcake! Perfect for taking to the beach or to celebrate summer! Great for picnics, potlucks and campouts. I brought these to a neighborhood block party and a family reunion and everyone loved them! They were the first dessert to disappear!
