Happy Wednesday! Since I’m out at Hermosa Beach in sunny California today for the Toyota Women’s Influencer Network event, I thought I’d highlight a beachy pin today! It is a great winning pin to kick off your summer with. On Sophie’s last day of preschool right before Memorial Day, I told her we’d make cupcakes to celebrate. So I got on Pinterest to find a summer cupcake idea. Here’s my original pin:
These looked super-easy to me, and I already had cupcake mix and frosting and Goldfish crackers so I ran to Kroger while Sophie was at school and bought some Teddy Grahams and some gummy Lifesavers. I also used some generic laffy-taffy like candy I had at home.
Here’s how our beach cupcakes turned out! I was right, they were indeed super-easy! The kids and I had a lot of fun decorating them and there was nothing to it. I cut the taffy with a knife to make a beach towel and surfboards, and crushed some poor Teddy Grahams to make sand.
I let Joshua and Sophie do their own. They weren’t quite as interested in making them “cute” as I was!
This was a fun & tasty winning pin for us! The kids loved decorating them and eating them of course. It was a fun way to kick off our summer.
