Day-at-the-Beach Cups

1 1/2 qts vanilla ice cream, 6 cups, softened
Blue food coloring
6 (9-oz each) plastic cups
Edible food markers such as Wilton's Food Writers
12 teddy bear graham snacks
3/4 cup white frosting
8 vanilla wafer cookies, finely ground
Rainbow sour belt candy or fruit-strip gum, cut into 1 1/4 inch-long pieces
Swedish fish gummy candies
1/2 inch ball-shaped candies
6 paper umbrellas

Tint ice cream blue with 1/2 tsp food coloring; divide among the plastic cups. Freeze until firm, about 3 hours. Meanwhile, use edible markers to decorate graham snacks (like drawing bathing suits on bears). Spread 2 Tbsp frosting over 2/3 of the ice cream in each cup. Place 1 drop of blue food coloring on frosting; swirl with toothpick. Repeat with remaining cups. Sprinkle remaining area with vanilla wafer crumbs for "sand". Top with sour belt candy (for beach towel), teddy grahams, swedish fish, cany balls and umbrellas. Freeze until ready to serve.
