Cheeseburgers in Paradise

Burgers & Fries anyone?  This is my favorite project so far.  Not only did these turn out super cute, but they tasted scrumptious!  Another idea found on Pinterest which ultimately led me to Bakerella's tutorial - she is amazing!



The "Burgers" are yellow cupcakes as buns and chocolate brownies as the burger.  I just baked the cupcakes and cut into thirds (I to discard a little to make it the right size).  Then I used a round cookie cutter on the brownie pan to get the burger the right size to fit in the buns.  Next just die the icing the right colors to make "ketchup", " mustard" and "lettuce" to drizzle on top of that burger.  Top the "bun" with white sugar crystal sprinkles to mimic the sesame seeds and viola!


The fries where a piece of cake... or cookies :-)  I just rolled out a sugar cookie mix and cut them into thin strips.  I topped with sugar before and after baking to give them the salty look.



That's it! 
Best Cupcake Masterpiece Ever!

Happy New Years!

This year, I have discovered PINTEREST.  I love that site - I get tons of ideas from there.  This is one inpired from there - this started out as a cupcake clock, but then i had extra room on the pan and extra cupcakes, so I added a few 'year' cakes as well.

Pretty simple - I just whipped up a Cream Cheese Buttercream and topped with hardened chocolate designs.
