As you may have noticed, we love cupcakes at Mom Does Reviews! These fun Beach Cupcakes are just what the doctor ordered to bring some summer into my life! In New Hampshire, we haven’t even had any spring to speak of, just rain and 40 degree weather. I’m hoping these cute cupcakes will bring that summer sun to dry up the mud!
