A very tasty treat in disguise! Dazzle your friends with your creativity and surprise them with a sweet-tasting "hamburger." They're pretty easy to make believe it or not!
- Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Classic Cake Mix
- Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Devil's Food Cake Mix
- 2 cans Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style Classic Vanilla Frosting
- Liquid food coloring
- Sesame seeds
- Shredded Coconut
- Cocktail toothpicks
- 6 Large eggs
- Water
- Vegetable oil
- Bake vanilla cupcakes according to directions on box. DO NOT use cupcake liners, but grease and flour the pan so they easily pop out.
- Bake chocolate cupcakes according to directions on box (either use 2 cupcake trays or thoroughly clean between vanilla & chocolate batches). Again, DO NOT use cupcake liners.
- When vanilla cupcakes are cool, cut them in half horizontal-wise with a serrated knife to create the "bun."
- When chocolate cupcakes are cool, cut them in half horizontal-wise and save the cupcake top as the "meat." You can discard the bottoms
- Use ample amounts of food coloring to mix a batch of red icing ("ketchup") and another batch of yellow icing ("mustard")
- Pour some of the coconut in a bowl and pour a few drops of green food coloring in it. Stir with a fork until the coconut is light green in color like "lettuce"
- Lightly dampen burger "lids" with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds so they stick a little.
- To create the burger layers...put red icing on the bottom bun, then add the "meat," then add the yellow icing, then sprinkle the lettuce on top, then add the lid.
- Finish by using a cocktail toothpick to keep it all together!
- Note: If you're in a hurry, you can purchase the red and yellow pre-colored icing in a tube.
- Note: Beware of heavily colored icing, it can stain!

I made these for my nieces Sponge Bob themed birthday party. "krabby patties"! These went instantly! The kids and adults both LOVED them. They were such a hit and I had fun making them. Thank you for a great, fun and creative recipe. =)
