Now you can serve hamburgers for dessert. These cupcakes create a faux version of a miniature hamburger using baked desserts. With a little creativity and some frosting, you can transform plain cupcakes into a treat to fool your family. Try them for dinner on April Fools' Day or as a dessert for a hamburger-lover's birthday party. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Split the yellow cupcake in half, width-wise to make the hamburger bun.
Cut the brownie into a 2 inch round using the cookie cutter.
Divide the vanilla icing into three bowls.
Mix yellow food coloring into one container to make mustard, add red to another container for the ketchup and green to the last to make the lettuce.
Use a spatula to spread a layer of yellow icing on the cut portion of the bottom of the cupcake. Apply red icing on the cut side of the top of the cupcake.
Place the brownie on top of the bottom half of the cupcake, over the yellow icing.
Spread a layer of green icing on top of the brownie with a spatula for the lettuce.
Optionally cut the fruit leather into a 2-1/4-inch square and lay it on top of the brownie to make a cheeseburger.
Stack the top half of the cupcake with the red icing on the bottom on top of the iced brownie or fruit leather.
Optionally, brush the top of the yellow cupcake with a pastry brush dipped in water to hold the sesame seeds on top. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on the damp top of the cupcake.
Tips
- Use a 2-inch round chocolate wafer cookie -- not a sandwich cookie -- instead of the brownie.
