I did this for a bridal shower, it was a luau theme. I read online somewhere how you crush up grahm crackers to give the cupcakes a sandy feel. My mom had a better idea, instead of using grahm crackers, get vanillia wafers and crush them up in a food processer. It gave it a more sandy beach feel to the party. If you plan on having a pool party, a luau party, or any beach themed party this would be a hit dessert. It was at the shower! I did half chocolate and vanilla because some people dont care for chocolate, and others dont care for vanilla. I just kept it simple.
This will give you the step by step on how to make beach cupcakes.
