TEDDY BEAR BEACH CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven and prepare the cupcakes according to recipe directions. We used Betty Crocker's white cupcake mix. Add muffin liners to your 12 cupcake/muffin tins. Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin tins. Bake until the tops spring back or a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Be sure to check baking times on the box.While the cupcakes are cooling on a wire rack, set aside your decorations (teddy grahams, gummy floaties, fish shaped gummies, beach towel candy, paper umbrellas, and "sand". Crush extra teddy grahams into a ziplog bag to resemble sand. We usually use a rolling pin and apply pressure back and forth to make crushed grahams. Once the cupcakes are cooled, mix your frosting in a bowl or directly in the container several drops of blue food coloring to resemble beach water. Frost all of the cupcakes with either a frosting spatula, butter knife or piping bag. Lightly sprinkle blue sugar onto 6 of the frosted cupcakes.On the other 6 cupcakes, dip just half of the cupcake at an angle into the "sand". Sprinkle extra crushed grahams on top for extra thickness.Place 6 teddy bear grahams into 6 round gummy floaties and 6 teddy bear grahams onto the rainbow candy beach towel (using a toothpick, add a small amount of frosting to the back of the teddy bear so the bear stays on the beach towel). Place each of these teddy bear grahams on each cupcake for a total of 12, 6 "floating in the water" and 6 "sun bathing on their towel."Place paper umbrellas in the teddy graham sand and mini fish gummies in the water. We added extra friends onto each cupcake because why not enjoy the beach with a friend or 2!

TEDDY BEAR BEACH PARTY CUPCAKE

Steps:

• 1. I used chocolate cake and marshmallow frosting. But any flavor combination would work.
• 2. Place crumbs in a bowl, frost cupcakes, dip frosted cupcake into crumbs. Cut fruit by the foot into 1 1/2" pieces, put a spot of frosting onto the back and stick to top of cupcake, put a spot of frosting onto back of teddy graham and place on fruit towel, stick an umbrella off to the side and Instant Cuteness!
• 3. I would also add blue frosting for water next I make these I think...
