Equipment

1 Cupcake pan

Ingredients

15.25 ounce white cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg white(s) large
1 - 2 cans vanilla frosting 16 ounce
5 - 7 drops food coloring blue
1 box graham crackers
Teddy Grahams
Airhead Extreme Bites
Life Savers Gummies
small Pretzel Rods optional sticks on the ‘beach’

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ and line your cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
Stir together the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites until just combined. It's okay if there are a few little lumps remaining.
Scoop about 1/4 cups of the cake mixture into each cupcake liner in your muffin tin.
Bake for about 18- 20 minutes or until slightly golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean. When the cupcakes are done, let them cool completely.
While the cupcakes are baking, stir together the frosting and blue food coloring to make the "water."
Use the knife to frost the cupcakes with the blue frosting. Make waves by swirling the frosting with the knife.
Make the "sand" by processing half of the graham crackers in your food processor.
Sprinkle sand on top of the frosting. Then decorate with the umbrellas, Teddy Grahams, Life Savers (floating devices), and the Airhead Extreme Bites (beach towels).

Notes

Nutritional information only includes ingredients up to graham crackers (the "sand") - anything else you add on top will need to be separately calculated.
