Thank you Oriental Trading Company for providing me with some awesome items that I could incorporate into my daughter’s birthday cupcakes! This post contains affiliate links to make your shopping easier.

For my daughter’s 10th birthday, we decided to throw her a Luau themed party. Since the party was a Luau theme I knew that I wanted the cupcakes to be bright, fun and super cute so I decided to make Beach Themed Cupcakes. This is a super simple recipe to make that you can have your kids help you with.

For the Beach Themed Cupcakes you will only need a few ingredients. You will need cupcake mix, I purchased a box of cupcake mix that came with blue food coloring or you can purchase white cake mix and use your own blue food coloring. In addition, you will need graham crackers, blue cupcake liners, rainbow sour candy, teddy bear crackers, white icing and blue icing or you can purchase white icing and divide half of it and dye half of it blue. Lastly, you will need fun cocktail parasols and cool shark suckers that can be found at Oriental Trading Company.

Like I said, Beach Themed Cupcakes are simple to make but they do take time. I recruited my daughter to help me and she did a great job and made the cupcake task much quicker.
