I have completed yet another cake from "Confetti Cakes For Kids." This month I did Hamburger and Fries cupcakes. They were a chocolate cupcake. I took them to class today and they were a big success.
On Saturday I baked the cupcakes. They were extremely delicious. I also got busy creating the marzipan decorations. I made the fries and that took a long time. I dusted each fry with yellow powdered food coloring and then highlighted with brown powdered food coloring. Then I moved on to the hamburgers. I had to make patties, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and buns. I made all of these with marzipan and powdered food coloring. Instead of making all of my cupcakes hamburgers and fries I decided to make two fries and three hamburgers and the rest cokes. I did this to save time and money (marzipan costs a lot). For my coke cupcakes I dyed the icing brown and frosted it sloppily. On Friday I had made rock candy to take place of the ice. I crushed the candy up and sprinkled it over the top of the cupcakes. For the finishing touch I cut a straw and placed it into the cupcake. They cupcakes looked great especially since this was my first time working with marzipan.
