cupcake... or not

The other night at a church meeting for the women, we did this fun thing. One of the ladies had recently been on a cruise. As one of the crafts that they offered, they learned how to make different things out of an ordinary cupcake. So, she taught us how.



The original, inspiration. Pretty fun.

Most of it is frosting with the lettuce and the cheese being fondant. Pretty smart. Who comes up with this stuff? Anyway, there were some left over cupcakes and frosting, so I brought some home to make with the kids. Here's how they turned out...

Sadie's hamburger



Phebe's hamburger



Isaac's hamburger/cupcake.

Mmmmm. Afterwards I told them that they could eat it, well half of it anyway. I thought it might be a bit much to let them eat the whole thing, you know... sugar shock.

The next time you're looking for something different to make with your kids, or with your friends, give it a whirl.
