These summer cupcakes are perfect for backyard parties and sharing with friends. They're easy, delicious and look seriously adorable! I got a million and one compliments on these guys even though it took me less than half an hour to assemble. 

They're a great way to celebrate the long, sunny days before summer gives way to autumn! Keep reading if you want to find out how to make these!

4. Crush up the biscuit (bash them in a zip lock bag with a rolling pin - don't make the crumbs too fine) and sprinkle onto one side of the cupcake 
5. On the side with the biscuit, cut up a small bit of the sour strap and place onto the biscuit
6. Dot a tiny bit of frosting onto the sour strap and stick the tiny teddy on top 
7. Poke the umbrella into the cupcake next to the sour strap so it covers the teddy

VOLIA! Now you have a sunsmart teddy, lying on a beach mat, on the sand right next to the water! 

This has to be one of my absolute favourite things I've ever made because it was fun, adorable and very easy to do. Make sure to send me pictures on Instagram or Twitter because I would love to see your creations!
