Cupcake Hamburgers???

Recently I have had two major obsessions: pinterest and hamburgers. I know this sounds very odd, but it'll make sense. I cam across this picture below of these hamburger cupcakes. Which this recipe can be found HERE.

Aren't these just so adorable? I thought, well I can make these also, but I made mine a little bit different.  The ones in the picture are make with actual cupcakes ad brownie for the meat. For mine I used a whoopee pie pan and used chocolate and vanilla cake mixes. 

What You'll Need:

1 chocolate cake mix

2 white/vanilla cake mix

a whoopee pie pan

3/4 cans of frosting (depending on how much you put on)

sesame seeds

red, green, and yellow food coloring

How To:

1. Make your batters using the directions on the boxes and preheat the oven to the temp for cupcakes.

2. Use a spoon to scoop the batter into the whoopee pie dish.

3. Place in oven and bake for about 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them to decide if they need more or less time.

4. Take them out and let them cool! (very important)

5. While you are waiting for the whoopee's to cool, color your frosting. I recommend that you use a very vibrant food coloring because when you mix it with the white it makes most colors pastel. Use 1 and 1/2 tubs for green and then split what is left for the yellow and red. 

6. Once the whoopee's are cooled stack them up with white on bottom and then a chocolate one. (Add a dab of frosting between to keep them together.)

7. Pipe on the frosting so that the green looks like lettuce, the yellow like mustard, and the red like ketchup. 

8. IMPORTANT: in order to keep from having a complete mess of sesame seed dump them into a bowl and dip the tops of your buns into the bowl before placing them on top of your burger.

9. Enjoy!

Wish I would have taken more pictures for you!

Mummy Dogs

I couldn't resist sharing these cute treats. Yesterday I made mummy dogs for the kids I was watching in honor of Halloween. They were really easy to make, but quick. The recipe says they take about 50 minutes to make, but honestly I made them in about a half hour which included the cooking. I also made "Ham-Witches" which are not pictured below, but turned out really cute.  Neither require many ingredients and just about anyone could make them. Below is my process for making the mummy dogs, and my pictures. These are great for kids or if you are hosting a party.


If any of you make these, please let me know how they turn out for you and if you like them.

Pain au Chocolaté

I have always loved chocolate croissants. Well, actually I love anything that has chocolate in it. When I saw Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere has done this recipe and that it so looked amazingly good, I thought I would give it a try. She linked to the recipe here. For mine I used slightly different ingredients but it worked out really well.

My Ingredients

Before the oven

Out of the Oven

I made 3 different kinds. From left to right they are dark chocolate,

salted caramel chocolate, and milk chocolate.

The best way to serve them!
