Crab Cupcakes

We first made these adorable crab cupcakes for my son's under the sea party when he was 6. They've since been requested several times and the kids love to help put together the crabs. The little crabs can be used on their own too to add some fun to table settings, dessert tables, or just for a little fun treat.

Decorating cakes and cupcakes is not a strong suit of mine but these guys were so cute and easy to make! I do sometimes have some trouble finding the round gummies for the eyes, but I can always come up with something that works. The bulk candy bins are usually the best place to start. Once, I had to buy a big bag of multi-colored gummies once and pick through for the orange ones. The kids didn't mind the leftovers though, so it all worked out.

These cute crab cupcakes are easy to make and lots of fun for beach parties, summer BBQs, or any under the sea theme. A huge hit with the kids!

24 cupcakes Use a cake box mix as directed or your favorite cupcake recipe.

1 container white icing {vanilla or cream cheese}

24-48 round orange gummies Sometimes we have to buy a multi-color pack and pick out the orange ones! Depending on how thick the gummy is you might want to slice it in half to make two eyes.

1. Prepare cupcakes as per package directions or your favorite recipe. Allow to cool. Ice cupcakes reserving a small amount of the icing to add the eyes.{see below}

2. Mix graham crackers, brown sugar, and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle on the top of the cupcakes for the "sand".

3. Slice the fuzzy peaches into a crescent shape. Cut down the toothpicks to approximately 1 1/2-2 inches. Attach one end to the fuzzy peach "claws" and stick the other end into the orange slice "body".

4. Slice the round orange gummies in half {if they're thick} to create two eyes. Otherwise, use one gummy per eye. Use a small dab of icing to attach the candy eyes to the gummies.

5. Use toothpicks {that will also need to be cut down} to attach the "eyes" to the orange slice body. Place the finished crab on top of the cupcake.

I just love these little guys - and they're oh so cute! They're sure to be a big hit at your next beach party or summer BBQ!
