Cupcakes For A Weekend On The Beach.
We’re going camping on the beach, so I made the perfect Cupcakes. Aren’t they cute?! They’re easy to make too. I used a Spice Cake Mix, then topped each Cupcake with an Orange Powdered Sugar Glaze. The sand is ground Teddy Grahams and the towel is a piece of a Fruit Roll-Up. Just lay a Teddy Graham on the towel, prop open a cocktail umbrella to block the sun and voila.
Since there was extra batter, I made a small Cake in the toaster oven. It turned out good, but needed to be cooked a little longer than noted. And as you can see in the photo, it became a sun bathing cliff for the Teddy Grahams. My Chef Nieces are going to love it. FYI: I did not come up with this idea. Similar Cupcakes won an Honorable Mention at the OC Fair this year. Unfortunately I didn’t catch a name, nor a photo of the original Cupcakes.
