Summer is winding down – but there’s still time for one last trip to the beach! I orginally saw this idea on Bakerella’s website. I thought they were just too cute not to make! Here’s how I made them and what I used:
- Box cake mix and frosting. I took the easy way out this time!
- Teddy Graham cookies. Grind them in a food processor to use as “sand”. And save a few Teddys to be your beach goers!
- I used Fruit Roll-Ups for the beach towels and sour Lifesaver gummies for the life preservers.
- That’s about it — they are pretty self-explanatory! The cupcakes were very easy to make and would be great for a kid’s summer birthday party!
I don’t even know why I’m amazed by how cute these are – you’d think I’d know by now that you’re awesome at these!! Even though I don’t do blue food, I want one of these!
No blue food? Explain, prease.
Its a little morbid to make the sand from the crushed teddys… do they have any idea they are playing on the pulverized remains of their comrades??? LOL
I know… I thought about that too, as I was putting the teddy bears into the food processor. I was strangely sad! Maybe next time I’ll use brown sugar instead of ground up teddy grahams! ;)
You could use Nilla Wafers crumbs instead of pulverized Teddy Grahams. ^_^
