Are you feeling ready for summer? We are! We are dreaming of toes in the sand, the waves on the shore and little crabs scurrying past your toes. These cupcakes are simple, made with a box of cake mix, but are so much fun after being transformed into a kid’s food craft. Perfect for a beach weekend, beach party and more!
