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!

New Year, New Resolutions

This last weekend was a big one! It is officially 2012. With a new year comes new resolutions, but how long do we stick to our new resolutions? Usually its one, maybe two or if we are really lucky three months. Last year I came up with a good idea to keep me on track for my resolution. I framed and hung my resolutions in a place that would be seen all the time. For this year I decided to continue this with framing my resolutions. Find an old picture frame that you no longer use for pictures, but make sure it is one that you like so that you don't get tired of it during the year. I choose a simple white frame that matches some of the others in my room. Cut the paper down to the size you need (measure twice and cut once). Add as many of your resolutions as possible. Embellish your resolutions so that they look pretty hanging on your wall. Finally hang them up for everyone to see! This way you not only keep yourself accountable, but also everyone else can also.
