Ingredients
Yellow cake mix and ingredients needed per box
Gold and blue sanding sugar
White and gold pearl sugar decorations
White and blue frosting
Sugar shell decorations - Amazon or craft store
Ocean animal sugar decorations - Amazon or craft store
Paper drink/craft umbrellas
Instructions
Bake cupcakes per recipe and cool completely
Gently and lightly mix blue and white frosting together to create an ocean water look
Pipe a thin base of white frosting on each cupcake
For beach only looks dip cupcake upside down in blue or gold sanding sugar
Place desired sugar decorations on top
Add umbrella if desired
For ½ beach ½ ocean looks dip only half of the cupcake in sanding sugar
Next add a dollop of blue & white ocean frosting to the other half of the cupcake
Use a small round flat instrument ( I used a decorating knife but a butter knife is perfect as well ) to create waves in the frosting
Place desired sugar decorations on top
Add umbrella if desired
Enjoy!
