Cheeseburger Cake

Got an order from an old high school buddy of mine for her brother's birthday. Apparently, he's living a healthy lifestyle so his wife thought it would be a cute idea to make him a cheeseburger cake (b/c he loves it and hasn't had it in a while) I've been DYING to make a cheeseburger cake ironically so of course I jumped at it. I bought lettuce, tomatoes and cheese at the supermarket - sliced it and studied it.




The cheeseburger is chocolate cake with a mocha filling. My High School buddy always talks about red velvet and how much she loves it so I thought I'd make her a cake too. The cheeseburger looked lonely anyways. So I decided to make fries with red velvet and cream cheese filling. Of course EVERYTHING has to be edible so I made the fries out of a butter pound cake.


I always love when people send me photos. ( :


I wish I had more time... I wanted to make a soda too. Oh well. Next time.

On to cupcake news. I gave away all the cupcakes to my friends and they all loved it! I noticed that the girls liked the strawberry and carrot cupcakes and the men liked the chocolate-chocolate-chocolate and peanut butter/chocolate cupcakes. Weird... Yesterday I made pumpkin cupcakes - which was a TOTAL SUCCESS. Smelled and reminded me of dunkin donuts pumpkin muffins, which was totally what I was going for b/c I love love love them. My hubby ate THREE - that is SUCH a compliment b/c for all of you who know, he's a bodybuilder and a total health freak - doesn't eat anything unless it's grilled chicken or vegetables.
Tonight I will aim to make the lemon, red velvet, vanilla and oreo. I'm re-thinking the pecan. By the time I launch my new cupcake menu, the season will be over for pecan anyways... we'll see.
