These Hamburger Cupcakes and Cookie Fries easily get your mouth salivating for sweet goodness and the summer.
The cupcake is cut and designed to look like the real deal, almost like a hamburger slider. With a batch of vanilla cupcakes and a batch of chocolate cupcakes, food blog Glorious Treats top chef Glory has managed to create the most realistic burger-like cupcakes. With coconut as lettuce and frosting as condiments, the Hamburger Cupcakes and Cookie Fries are mouth-watering. The only authentic burger ingredient? Sesame seeds that are placed on top of the "bun."
The fries, as stated previously, are made from a sugar cookie recipe. Cut into long strips and "salted" or in this case, sugared to perfection. This delicious combo is perfect for summer barbecues, picnics and any other fun, casual occasion. Click here for the how-to.
