Our number one cousin came to visit for her birthday. My daughter and my wife decided to make a special burger for her celebration.
This burger is no conventional burger. It is a cupcake concoction of amazing fun. Making it was a fun challenge. They started by making some lettuce--coconut shavings stirred with green food coloring!
They made some cupcakes from scratch for the buns. That was probably the easiest part of the project.
The trickiest part was making burgers. We used a plain brownie mix (no nuts or chunks or anything inside) and cut it into circles the same size as the cupcakes. We found a round cookie cutter that was the right size.
Buttercream frosting mixed with red food coloring made the ketchup. Mixed with yellow food coloring the frosting made the cheese.
We did test a burger before feeding one to the birthday girl.
A fun time was had by all!
