Whipped up some beach-themed cupcakes for a friend’s family pool party two weeks ago. They made a splash. I used simple yellow cake mix and a homemade butter cream frosting that I dyed blue with Wilton’s gel food coloring.
To decorate I used:
- Teddy Grahams
- Crushed graham crackers: sand
- Airheads: beach towels, volleyball net, surfboard
- Twizzlers: to hold up the airhead volleyball net
- Gobstopper: volleyball
- Swedish Fish
- Peach-O’s for the life-savers
- Mini umbrella toothpicks
It’s all rather self-explanatory. Candy Tip: No need to buy huge packets of candy - Party City sells a lot of this individually wrapped or mini-sized already.
Huge thanks to my friend Dana for letting me take over her kitchen and for snapping some photos.
