How to Make a Hamburger Cake

If you're tired of making the same boring birthday cake try a picnic-themed birthday party, serve hamburgers and then finish off the meal with a hamburger cake. This cake is surprisingly simple to make.

Things You'll Need

• Yellow cake mixes
• Chocolate cake mix
• Icing

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven according to the directions on a box of cake mix.

2. Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the cake mix box. Use one box of yellow mix and one of chocolate. Pour the mixes into two 9-inch cake pans each that have been coated with non-stick spray. When baking cake, remember that all oven temperatures vary and the cooking times might not be exact. Allow to cool.

3. Place one of the yellow cakes on the serving plate. This will serve as the bottom bun of the hamburger. Place one round of chocolate cake on top of the yellow cake to serve as the hamburger patty.

4. Make the hamburger cake look more realistic by adding a few condiments. Dripping red and yellow icing on the chocolate cake will make the hamburger looks as if it's covered in ketchup and mustard. Make lettuce and pickles with green icing and make them more realistic by adding texture with a knife. Try using fruit roll ups as cheese.

5. Use the last piece of yellow cake as the rounded bun top. Trim the edges if necessary to resemble a bun. Place this on top of the hamburger and "condiments." Ice the top yellow cake with a tan icing to make it the color of a hamburger bun and place sliced almonds on the top to simulate sesame seeds.

Tips & Warnings

• Make a double cheeseburger by adding the second round of chocolate cake to the middle.
