Summertime is known for adventures, pool parties, and outdoor fun. So what better way to accompany these fun times than with colorfully delicious (and absurdly cute) treats to reflect the season.
Teddy Grahams cupcakes are easy to make and are so adorable for a beach party. Each treat features adorable little Teddy Grahams hanging out sunning in the sand under an umbrella or floating in an inflatable inner tube in the water. No doubt, these Teddy Grahams cupcakes take decorating to a whole new level. The moment I saw these, I knew I had to make them right away.
To add decorative details to each cupcake, you can make beach towels from Fruit Roll-Ups or use ring-shaped gummy candies for inner tubes. Use crushed-up graham crackers to create the beach, and add fish-shaped crackers to the water. Or complete the scene with paper drink umbrellas for all those sun-bathing teddies. The options and creations are endless, so have fun with it.
Kids will have so much fun making these cupcakes, so it's the perfect summertime project to get them involved in baking.
These are guaranteed to be such a huge hit — among kids and adults alike!
