Chocolate Cupcakes with Sand and Seashell Toppers

This chocolate cupcake recipe is delicious and perfect for these sand and seashell topped cupcakes. Use crushed graham crackers for the sand based and some chocolate molds for the perfect seashell topper.

There is something so satisfying about walking along a seashore and finding a little shell. It’s like discovering your own priceless treasure even though there are billions of them in the sea. We want to allude to that feeling with chocolate cupcakes topped with frosting and a graham cracker crust and chocolate seashells. You can use white chocolate wafers, coconut-flavored chocolate, and even venture off into created colored chocolate seashells. Try detailing with candy writers.

Here is a little color inspiration for different color shells:
