Directions

Frost the cupcakes and sprinkle crushed graham crackers all over to resemble sand.

Cut small rectangular pieces of the Air Heads candy for the beach towels.

Lay a beach towel on each cupcake and lay a Sour Patch kid on each towel.

Place an umbrella, a gumball, and 2 little Pez candies on each cupcake. These resemble a volleyball/ball and a pair of flip flops.

An optional step: use an edible writing pen to dot on eyes and a mouth on the sour patch kids and draw little straps on the Pez candy so they look more like flip flops.
