Our friends are moving to Arizona this week. They decided to have a little dinner party with all of their friends. When I RSVP'd I said I would bring dessert. Cupcakes are pretty easy to make, but I wanted to make them special. Their 3 year old saw a picture of their apartment in Phoenix and thought they were moving to the beach because of the pool and palm trees. When you ask her what is at the beach she says "crabs, pinch pinch" and makes her hands into pinchers. That is quite the long intro, but she gave me the idea to make beach cupcakes. I couldn't find any I liked online, so these are all to my credit. Here are some pictures of the cupcakes!
I used a box, and a can of frosting, but I think they are pretty cute! I frosted them, then dipped them into graham cracker crumbs for sand. I made frosting for the crabs then used chocolate sprinkles for the eyes. Then to make it a little more fun and beachy, I added drink umbrellas!
They were pretty yummy too! We are sad that they are leaving, but we are glad we will be living just as close to them in AZ as we have been for the last few months! But now I am thinking I should go into cupcake business?!

These are so dang cute!! You are AWESOME!! If you go into the cupcake business can I help? That would be so fun!! We should open a bakery or something! YEAH!!
The graham cracker crumbs are a genius idea! Much better than the sugar one I gave you...but were the umbrella's my idea? I like them, and I'd like to think they were, so yes...in my mind they will be my idea :)
You should totally do it, I want cupcakes for my wedding instead of real cake, so when that time comes, I'm calling you!!!
