My mom asked me Monday if I would make a cake for Aaron’s birthday. As I stood there in the kitchen trying to think up some designs I began to worry, nothing was coming. I could make him a white cake with white frosting and the boy would be beyond happy. That’s just how he rolls. He likes white on white and chocolate on chocolate…. Hmmm, need to file away an idea for next year. Anyways, he likes his cakes and cupcakes that way and I am always giving him a hard time for it, I always try to get him to break out and try something new. So far I have had no luck.
It suddenly dawned on me that I had filed away a neato-frito idea that I had seen on Bakerella’s site. Have you been there before? If not, you need to go now. No, seriously, go check it out! I’ll still be here afterwards.
You start with a pan of brownies, about 20 cupcakes and a small biscuit cutter. Last time I looked we did not have a biscuit cutter, imagine my delight when I found an old Tupperware one mixed in with our cookie cutters, I usually just use a glass to cut out biscuits with

You then cut out as many brownies with the biscuit cutter as you can and put them together with some rather brightly colored frosting, like so!

Here they all are in their cute little baskets that Bakerella provides PDF’s for. I did not make the fry bags but opted to just put them in with the burgers. Next time I will cut slightly shorter and narrower sugar cookies “fries”.

They were a hit! The “burgers” are VERY sweet, so be forewarned.

The brownie scraps were a hit with Baby Girl
Here’s a link to Bakerella’s burger post.
A few notes:
I decided to make both the brownies, sugar cookie fries and frosting from scratch instead of mixes or prepackaged frosting. The cupcakes were from a yellow mix and I under filled the pans since I knew I would have to cut off about a third anyways so that the “bun” wouldn’t be too tall. I got about 28 cupcakes out of the batter that way. I would probably make 30-36 cupcakes next time and just cut the baking time.
I also was only able to cut 19 brownie circles out of a 9×13 pan. Part of this was because my biscuit cutter has wide sides that keep me from cutting close to the edge of the pan. If you’re looking to make more than 19-20 cupcakes you might want to bake another batch of brownies.
It was the first bookcase in our long wall of bookcases.
