Description One of five designs for my bridal shower. I used these as centerpieces for each table. It made it really easy for people to eat dessert! Each one has ten cupcakes.

I used a whipped topping for frosting instead of buttercream. For a final touch I sprinkled some clear edible glitter on the blue part to make the water 'sparkle'.

could you still do something like this with a buttercream frosting or is whipped the way to go?
My son is turning 1 on the 30th and I'm going to attempt to make his cake.
Not sure what I was going to put on it yet but it's an Ocean Theme party.
I'm kinda new to this and just wondered what kind of frosting you found the easiest to work with since I've seen you have tried both kinds (:

These CupCakes are amazing (: very original and so cute. Bet your wedding guests loved them (:

This one's my favorite. Starfish is a close second, though. Still, I'm disappointed you didn't make a dolphin!

Thanks! I actually didn't even think of a dolphin... oops! I guess I was thinking more beachy animals instead of deep ocean...

I actually bought the carton of frosting from where I work and whipped it up at home, so I don't have the recipe, but you could use cool whip and get the exact same effect.
