Beach themed cupcakes are a terrific choice of treat especially when everyone is all hyped up and excited for summer! I find this theme really cute and creative, especially when you're planning a small hangout sesh with friends or family.
I really love how these cupcakes turned out. For that beach effect, I finely crushed biscuits (using a food processor) to act as sand and piped out blue buttercream for the waves (make sure to use a spiky tip for a realistic wavey look)
