A while back  Ok ok..Years ago, I saw a hamburger cupcake idea in Woman’s Day magazine while waiting at the checkout counter.  I thought “Mmmm that’s soooo cute”.    Never did I think that I would actually try it.   My son’s birthday was coming up and we came up with making Darth Vader burgers (he loves Star Wars).    I thought and thought hard on how to pull this off.  ”Ha!,”  I thought to myself  ”the Woman’s Day mini burgers!  I can make the burgers black” (making the burgers black is another story…sigh).   It would be my luck that the issue I needed was no longer on shelves anymore.  Now I could bake a cake without an issue.  Making cupcakes, well this was my FIRST time ever.   Since I was making this for his class, I had to be sure I could actually make them.

I made a trial batch and posted on Facebook for feedback.   The critics in my household told me where I needed to improve for the finale.

 

After making the cupcakes, it dawned on me that I had no way of serving this to class.  A friend of mine peeped me to Bakerella.   It was there that I found the fast food tray template.

I enlisted the help of my sister to help me.  Making these for an entire class is a lot of work but, well worth it.

Off, Off and away they went to class with my son for his class birthday party.  He and his peers enjoyed the treat.
