I even found Spongebob muffin cups to match.
Pool side parties are the best for Cupcakes! Looks like a cake, but minus needing forks, plates and a knife to cut it.
Below I bought the Elmo and Cookie Monster toppers, but the sea creatures I made from candy molds.
Cupcakes are now starting to grow on me a little more than cakes.
A swirl of icing and sprinkles and hands are reaching into the box. You can't go wrong with cupcakes and especially for kid parties, cupcakes are grab and go no fork or plate needed. Unless of course you are serving a scoop of Blue Bell with it.

I used 3 different shades of icing to get the wave / water effect for these fish. 1/2 were made of fondant, and the other I used my Butter Cream Icing. Now this was for a Birthday party for a one year old, so a small personal cake was needed just for him!

CUPCAKES
The beach cupcakes have been my favorite ones so far. The sand was made from graham crackers, and I molded balls,whales,crabs,sun,octopus,pail and shovels using Wilton's pre-made colored fondant. I colored white candy melts into a sea shell molding kit of mine and thus giving me all the shells.

The below was a test to see how a cupcake cake would look. Once again no cutting and serving needed just grab one. Now I used just a store bought icing (chocolate fudge) for these and that was my only problem I had.
Your going to have holes as a cake because the cupcakes are not square, they don't fit together. So the icing was sinking into each hole, not giving you a flat smooth top. It was for my family so I just went with it, but for future cupcake cakes I will definitely use butter cream for a more stiffer stabilizer.
Now these little babies were easy, cute and did not take much time at all, especially since they were on a stand with fudge and chocolate chip cookies. This was for my sisters baby shower and the entire cupcake I used butter cream with a few sprinkles. The bouquet cupcakes (purple ones) were just as simple, using a single icing tip for each flower and dotting the center.
