Cupcake Sliders

By Alicia in Cupcakes

I have seen these little cupcake creations all over the web. They are undeniably cute.

It’s a vanilla cupcake, cut in half filled with a chocolate cupcake and iced to resemble burger toppings. I made some “chedder cheese” out of fondant to put between the layers as well. Everyone loved them! They looked like real mini cheeseburger sliders!

If you’re going to a BBQ, bring along these cute burger cupcakes for dessert!

Ingredients:

6 Chocolate Cupcakes Cut in half

12 Vanilla Cupcakes Cut in half

Icing – tinted green and red, even yellow if you like

Fondant – Tinted orange and cut into squares

Directions:

Bake cupcakes according to recipe. I used a smaller, shallower cupcake tray to make the chocolate ones, so I actually didn’t need to cut them, they were like mini cupcake tops without the base. But you can definitely just make a regular chocolate cupcake and cut it in half to use it. Or even bake it in a 8×8′ pan and use a circular cookie cutter to cut little “burger” patties.

Use the bottom part of a vanilla cupcake, pipe on some red/yellow icing for the condiments, pile on top a “burger patty” and then add the fondant cheese, and pipe on some green icing to look like lettuce. Top with the other part of the vanilla cupcake, and sprinkle top with sesame seeds.

Voila! Mini Cupcake Sliders!
