Cheeseburger & French Fries (aka) Cupcake & Sugar Cookies

These are the cutest things ever. I saw this last year on Bakerella's site, and actually got the templates from her site. She is so creative. Original post can be found HERE!

To start with just make your favorite yellow cake and make into cupcakes, be sure and use cupcake liners. About 3 minutes before they are done, I remove them from the oven, spray a little cooking spray on top of the cupcakes and immediately sprinkle with sesame seeds and return to the oven for a couple of minutes.
Then make your favorite brownie recipe. You can either use a round cookie cutter to cut out the round shape (this will be your meat patty) or I actually let the brownies cool, then spoon out some of the brownie mixture, roll it into a ball and then flatten it into a patty shape.
And last mix up your favorite sugar cookie recipe.

HERE is the template for making the burger basket, french fry bag and fathers day tissue!
I printed the tray template on card stock (heavier weight paper), the french fry template on vellum (semi-transparent paper) and the tissue insert on regular white tissue paper. I cut the tissue paper into 81/2 X 11 and used a tiny bit of tape in the middle and bottom to secure it to a regular piece of printer paper, just to make it sturdier and easier for it to go through the printer.


Cut out the shapes as shown in the picture from the template with scissors or a sharp blade. Then fold along all the printed lines. Use double-sided tape to secure the flaps. Cut the tissue paper in half and place in the burger basket tray.


Tint your favorite buttercream or vanilla frosting. You will need green for the lettuce, red for the ketchup & yellow for the cheese/ mustard.

Cut cupcake in half and add your brownie (meat patty)

Add lettuce, ketchup and mustard. Then put the top of the bun on.

Make your favorite sugar cookie dough and roll out.
Use pizza cutter to cut into thin strips.

Place on cookie sheet and springle with sugar.
Finished product!

So cute!

These were fun to make...don't stress, use a boxed cake mix and a boxed brownie mix..Actually I did...you can even use canned frosting...that I did NOT, I made homemade buttercream, because it is my fav. Hope you enjoy making these as much as I did!!!
