Last night we went to an at-home trivia night (such fun!) and this presented as the perfect opportunity to make these little bad boys. We had hamburgers for dinner, and hamburgers for dessert. These could be a great treat for any Father's Day luncheons you may be attending tomorrow!
This was my first attempt at hamburger cupcakes. They were a lot of fun to make - much Heston. There's definitely room for improvement so I'll be making them again but with a few tips and tricks up my sleeve. Here are my tips for you and me both:
- I used packet cake mixes to save time and sanity
- Use a few drops of yellow food colouring in the buttercake
- Tip for next time: make the icing much firmer, and put the cheese on the bottom layer to prevent seepage
- Amazing tip: use plastic zip lock bags with the corners snipped off for the icing (I can't believe I have never done this!)
- Tip for next time: bake the cupcakes without patty cases, so they don't have the crinkles from the wrappers
This is my kind of burger flipping!

I'll just shoot myself in the foot now and leave you with a picture from Glorious Treats, so you can see what they're supposed to look like. Next time, Gadget!
this is a very clever recipe/idea, the hamburger cupcakes look very realistic!
ReplyDeleteThanks! There's room for improvement but I was pretty happy for the first go! x
