Teddy Bear Beach Party Cupcake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. I used chocolate cake and marshmallow frosting. But any flavor combination would work.
• 2. Place crumbs in a bowl, frost cupcakes, dip frosted cupcake into crumbs. Cut fruit by the foot into 1 1/2" pieces, put a spot of frosting onto the back and stick to top of cupcake, put a spot of frosting onto back of teddy graham and place on fruit towel, stick an umbrella off to the side and Instant Cuteness!
• 3. I would also add blue frosting for water next I make these I think...

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, peanut butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
• Bake 15 to 21 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and tops spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Reserve 1/4 cup of the frosting. Spread remaining frosting over tops of cupcakes. Sprinkle each cupcake with 1/2 teaspoon each chocolate chips and peanuts; press gently into frosting.
• Spread about 1/2 teaspoon reserved frosting on flat sides of 2 graham snacks. Place candle between frosted sides of graham snacks; press gently together. Repeat with remaining snacks, frosting and candles. Place on cupcakes, pressing candles slightly into cupcakes to hold in place. Store loosely covered.
