Step 1:

Build the Octopus Cupcakes.

1. Frost your cupcakes with the blue frosting. We used a cake decorating tip to give the frosting a wave look
2. Cut your Sour Worms in Half
3. Add a smile to the gum drop with your decorating frosting
4. Use the white frosting to “glue” the candy eyes to the gum drops
5. Once the frosting has dried on the gum drops, place them in the center of your frosted cupcakes.
6. Surround each gum drop with 8 halves of the sour worms

Step 2:

Make the Ocean Water.

1. 2-liter lemon lime soda
2. 46-ounce pineapple juice
3. 1-gallon Hawaiian Punch (any color or flavor)
4. Glass drink dispenser
5. Combine all ingredients. Add ice to chill. Serve immediately.
Note: To make a half recipe that fills a standard drink dispenser, simply pour half of each ingredient into your beverage holder of choice. There is no need to be precise. You can eyeball the amounts.

Step 3:

Make the candy kabobs.

1. Soak your kabob sticks in water to make it easier to place the taffy on the sticks. If you do not do this step, the taffy will smear together and won’t slide onto the sticks nicely.
2. Slide alternating flavors of taffy onto the kabab sticks.
3. We recommend using this as a fantastic centerpiece on your buffet. It looks great in the center with the taffy kabobs coming out of a jar. Eating them will be a bit messy since our taffy is already very soft so when you place them on the water soaked kabob sticks, they get gooey.

Step 4:

Fill your jars with candy.

1. Use the multi color sours as Beach Balls

2. Use Sweet's Fish as "Tropical Fish"

3. Lemonade Rings as Pool Floats
