Hamburger Cupcakes

These cute little guys are perfect for a BBQ, picnic or any time you are missing summer. All you need is this:

Chocolate cake
Vanilla cake (lemon or white would work also)
Cupcake pans
Frosting
Sesame Seeds

Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes

Building

BUILDING:
Simply cut the white cupcakes in half. This is now your bun. Cut the chocolate cupcakes in half or even thirds (however thick you want your patty) and this is now your meat patty.

cheese/mustard

Ketchup

Lettuce

DETAILS:
Once you have your burgers built just add the condiments. Be sure to put some kind of topping between the bottom bun and meat AND the top bun and meat so that the whole thing stays stuck together. Here is the order I did it in. Yellow cake, Mustard/Cheese (yellow frosting[tip #103 ]), Chocolate Cake, Ketchup (Red Frosting [tip # 7]), Lettuce (Green Frosting [tip #61]) and Yellow Cake.

The finishing touch is a few Sesame Seeds and voila! A Hamburger cupcake just in time for our 4th of July celebration tomorrow!

My Top 5 Tips To Remember

1. When Your Going To Be Cutting Or Shaping Cakes ALWAYS Freeze Them First!
This makes them less crumbly and easier to work with. It also keeps them from drying out.

2. Invest In Disposable Bags!
When using multiple colors or tips this will save so much time since you won't have to wash and dry your bags plus it makes clean up much more simple!

3. The Scrape And Lick Technique!
When something is tipped or piped on and doesn't look the way you want it to simply scrape it off with a toothpick and lick! Problem solved and then you can try again :)

4. Always Save Your Scraps!
When cutting and shaping never eat or throw away any scraps until you are completely finished! You never know when you might need some extra cake for something.

5. Try Details On Before Frosting!
Place candy or whatever details you plan on adding before frosting so you have an idea of how it will actually look. This way you can move it around and decide what will work best without messing up frosting. Then frost and you know exactly where and how you want your details!
