Prepare white cake mix according to the package instructions for cupcakes.
Bake cupcakes according to package directions and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cupcakes cool, mix together the vanilla buttercream frosting and a few drops of blue food coloring until you reach your desired shade of blue.
Frost the cooled cupcakes with a frosting knife or pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
Sprinkle one half of the tops of the cupcakes with the crushed graham crackers to create a beach look.
Decorate the cupcakes by placing cocktail umbrellas on the “beach” side, and sticking teddy bear graham crackers into the Life Saver Gummy rings and placing on the "water" side. Serve and enjoy!

Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2-4 days.
Can be made the night before.
Try swapping the bears with sharks for a fun shark week theme, or place a swedish fish on the water side for a cute ocean theme.
