Ingredients

  • 12 Cupcakes
  • 1 - 2 Cups. Vanilla white frosting
  • 1 - 2 Cups. Blue frosting
  • ½ Cup. Pink frosting
  • ½ Cup. Purple frosting
  • 1 x 11 oz. Box Nilla Wafers divided
  • Chocolate pearls in white and silver
  • Fish shaped sprinkles

Instructions

  • Remove 24 Nilla Wafers, and set aside to make oyster decorations.
  • Place the remaining wafers in a food bag, and crush into fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Fill two piping bags - one with pink frosting, the other with purple - snip off the tip of the bags.
  • Pipe a small amount of frosting onto 12 of the reserved wafers in alternate colours. Gently press a chocolate pearl into the edge of the frosting, and add the other Nilla wafer on top to complete the oyster decorations. Set aside.
  • Place an open star tip into a piping bag and fill with white frosting. Pipe over one half of each cupcake - you don't have to be precise.
  • Dip each of the frosted cupcakes into the crushed Nilla Wafers to create the sandy beach.
  • Place an open star tip into a piping bag and fill with blue frosting, and pipe in a ripple motion on the uncovered half of the cupcake to create a wave.
  • Add a few fish shaped sprinkles.
  • Pipe a little amount of frosting to the bottom of the oyster shells, and attached to the beach side of the cupcakes.
