I am a burger lover...the more toppings the better as far as my burger goes! So when I first came across the idea for hamburger cupcakes on Bakerella's blog last year I was completely blown away by her creativity. I have been dying to make these bite size burger cakes ever since but just haven't had the perfect opportunity until this past weekend.
A friend I run with was having a football party grill out fundraiser and asked if I would make her some hamburger cupcakes! Of course my response was YES! These cupcakes were so fun to make and were a huge hit at the party!
Here are some step-by-step photos for assembling the perfect burger cupcake.
Here are some step-by-step photos for assembling the perfect burger cupcake.
Bake a batch of vanilla cupcakes and then remove the paper liners.
Use a serrated knife and slice each cupcake horizontally to create the top and bottom half of the burger bun.
Bake a batch of brownies in a 9 x 13 pan. Once the brownies have cooled use a round cookie cutter, about 2" diameter to make your burger patties.
Place your "buns" and "burgers" on a tray in rows to make for easy assembly.
Make a batch of vanilla buttercream and tint in 3 colors: Red = ketchup, Yellow = mustard, and Green = lettuce. Place icing in piping bags fitted with tips for easy decorating. I used small round tips for the ketchup and mustard and the Wilton 104 tip for the lettuce.
Place the burger on the bun.
Add a squiggle of ketchup.
And a squiggle of mustard.
