Step by Step

1
Use plastic beach buckets of different colors and fill them with your favorite candies. Arrange the plastic buckets in different parts of the table.
2
Use white-painted crates to give height and movement to the table. You can lay them down in different ways. In this case, we placed a white birdcage decorated with artificial flowers on top of the crate and inside we put bags of chips and some artificial flowers in the back. On the edge of the table, place crushed María cookies to create sand and on top put cookies in the shape of flip-flops. Use frosting and a small round tip to form the straps of the flip-flop and decorate with Mentos®.
3
To decorate a flip-flop shaped cake; Bake two round cakes of your choice and once cooled, cut them into the shape of flip-flops. Cover the cakes with frosting and form the straps of the flip-flop with Xtremes®. Add some Air Heads® to the edges. Roll some strips of Xtremes® and place them in a bucket, to add variety to the table use buckets with a metallic effect.
4
Decorate cupcakes to look like clams. Paint vanilla frosting pink and spread a little on a cupcake, to create the pearl place a Mentos® and put another cupcake on top. You can place these clams on crushed María cookies. Place packs of Xtremes® in a white crate and arrange them standing up to create movement.
5
Fill a glass fishbowl with Air Heads® and place some chocolate swarms sprinkled with Crazy Rocks®. Put them on top of chocolate ice cream cones.
6
Fill some triangular bags with popcorn of different flavors. Tie a bow to make them look more presentable. Place the bags on an ice cream base. This will make your table look more original. In a glass fishbowl, place Chupa Chups® Gomis Mangositas and on top put a plastic beach shovel. This will make it easier for your guests to serve themselves the gummies. You can place more empty plastic bags on the side for your guests to take the candies they want.
7
Place lemonade bags filled with Mentos® and arrange more candies around using different presentations. Add different artificial flowers for a more tropical look.
8
Hang tissue paper flowers at different heights. This will help the table look more appealing and create a focal point. Add beach toys in different parts of the table to make it more thematic.
