- Boxed cupcake mix
- Canned vanilla frosting
- ½ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
- 10-12 white pearl sprinkles
Tools
- 10-12 toothpicks
- Red marker
- 1 sheet of white paper
- Tape
- Grass piping tip
- Piping bag
- Offset spatula or butterknife
Directions
- Bake your Dad’s favorite cupcake flavor according to the directions on the box. Whether it be chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, lemon, whatever your Dad loves the most!
- Once the cupcakes have finished baking, be sure to let them cool completely before decorating that way the buttercream won’t melt or soften too much.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, spread some vanilla buttercream on top of the cupcake, only covering a small amount of the cupcake. This will be the sand pit!
- Dunk the cupcake in graham cracker crumbs to stick to the buttercream.
- Dye the remaining buttercream, once all of the sandpits have been made, green. This is going to be the grass.
- Place the green buttercream into a piping bag fit with a grass piping tip. Pipe grass all over the rest of the cupcake that isn’t covered with the graham cracker sand pit.
- To make the little toothpick flags, cut out little triangles from the white paper then color them red. Tape the triangles to the top of the toothpicks.
- Stick the toothpick flags on top of the cupcakes. Repeat these steps for each cupcake.
- Place a pearl sprinkle on top of each cupcake, they will stick best on top of the grass buttercream.
- Tell your Dad how much you appreciate him and enjoy these delicious cupcakes together!
