BURGER CAKES

 Don't panic- NOT cakes made out of burgers but burgers made out of cakes! This is something we are planning on running as a workshop at uni between Craft Society and Baking Society, as it is more crafty than bake-y really (the art is all in the construction!). I had a practice go and just had to share the results! They look great (though I say so myself)- we even went to MacDonald's and got their Big Mac boxes, however we forgot to then ask for the fries cartons so ended up making these ourselves. In case you were wondering, the burger bun is scone with linseeds on top (we avoided sesame seeds as they are a stronger flavour), the burger part is chocolate brownie, the lettuce is fondant icing dyed green using food colouring, the ketchup is just icing sugar and red food colouring and the chips/fries are shortbread cut into long thin strips. Assemble it all together and tada! Burger cake. I would definitely recommend having a go- they are great fun and taste nommy too!
