Cookout Cakes

My aunt Heleena is having a big 50th birthday party cookout
in Maine this weekend.

I thought that these little cheeseburger cupcakes would be
a perfect treat to bring along!

They were so fun to make, and I think they are pretty cute!

They consist of vanilla cupcake "buns,"
brownie "patties,"
red, yellow, and green icing as the condiments and lettuce,
and sesame seeds on top!

I got the idea from Bakerella.

On the side? Sugar cookie fries!

Hopefully, this "happy meal" will make for a happy birthday for my aunt!

In Celebration of...

...a day off from work!
What better to do on a random, lovely Monday when you don't have to go to work?
Make a cake!
Specifically, a vanilla cake with milk chocolate frosting and strawberry icing:

I could use a little more practice with my decorative icing...
but it's still a cute li'l cake, right? :P
