As I’m trying to catch up on my Nanowrimo wordcount this weekend – an easy post for me – how to make hamburger cupcakes with the children.

These cupcakes are the quick and easy relation of those found online here at Bakerella. I once made the Bakerella version for a party, complete with fries in a little personalised holder, but for everyday……..

…..these little cakes are SO easy.

The ingredients:

• Cupcakes, home made or store bought,
• Green butter icing,
• Yellow butter icing,
• Seedless jam,
• Jaffa cakes, or similar chocolate cookies.

Remove your cupcakes from their cases, and slice in half. Spread icing on the base of the cake.

Place the Jaffa cake or cookie on the icing, and then top with more green icing (lettuce), yellow icing (mustard) and jam (ketchup).

Then put the top of the burger on. SO EASY.

I don’t think they’re any healthier than the real thing, but children love sweet food masquerading as something else – especially if they can make it themselves!

Have fun with it!
