Mix blue food coloring in the icing to make an “water” for your cupcakes.

Place some graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and place in between a folded kitchen towel and use the meat tenderizer to create “sand” crumbs.

Apply a layer of blue “water” icing on the cupcake and sprinkle “sand” on one side.

Use kitchen food scissors to cut little strips of Fruit Roll Ups to make a little towel. Add a little bit of icing on the back and lay on the “sand”. Add a little icing on the back of a Teddy Graham and lay them on top. Insert some bears in the water like they’re swimming

Add a mini drink umbrella and voila your fun sand and sea cupcakes are complete!

This cute strawberry costumes was easy to put together as I just sewed some black seeds on a red shirt, made a DIY tutu with cut pieces of tulle on a stretchy headband material and some green leaves around the neck to play up the stem vibes. It was SO CUTE and still serves as some of my favorite pics of her in the Halloween season.
