Well, I
finally got around to creating my entry for the Ice cream cupcake contest. This
contest was created by The Cupcake Project Ice Cream Cupcake Contest Page and Scoopalicious.
So here is my prized entry, I have created:
Introducing...
(Cue trumpets) The Burger Cupcake! A normal vanilla cupcake, iced with vanilla
buttercream frosting, it has appetizing condiments specially crafted from
fondant (lettuce and tomato), and the best part: The "Death by
Chocolate" Ice cream patty! Don't you just want to take a bite? Below is
my recipe for this mouth-watering creation:
(Basic
cupcake recipe excerpt from Kiki Magazine)
Yield:
About 12 large cupcakes
Ingredients:
· 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. soft butter
· 1 cup sugar
· 3 eggs
· 1 tsp. vanilla extract
· 1 1/2 cups plain flour
· 1 tsp. baking powder
· 3/4 cup milk
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius)
2. Beat
butter and sugar together until creamy. Keep beating the mixture while you add
the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time.
3. Sift
flour and baking powder into another bowl; add half of this to the wet
ingredients and old in. Then add half the milk, then the rest of the dry
ingredients, and the remaining milk, mixing after each addition.
4. Place cupcake papers into a
muffin tin. Fill each paper 3/4 full with mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes until
golden.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and
my burger cupcake. To make your cupcake look like a burger, cut the cupcake in
half and ice the top in beige icing. Sprinkle the top with orange sprinkles.
Then place fondant lettuce pieces and tomato pieces into the cupcake, and scoop
a flattened patty of chocolate ice cream into the center. Refrigerate immediately.
Enjoy!
