Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • water oil and eggs to prepare mix
  • Chocolate Fudge Frosting
  • Red Yellow and Green Frosting
  • White Jimmies sprinkles

Instructions

  • Prepare cake mix according to box instructions. Spray cupcake pans with liners. Fill the cupcake liners 1/3 of the way full. You want them to bake just to the edge of the liner, not "muffin top" over.
  • Bake according to package instructions. Remove the cakes from the pan and cut the tops off.
  • Pipe or gently spread chocolate frosting on the bottom layer of the cupcake to make the burger. Drizzle the red, yellow and green frosting towards the edges to resemble the condiments.
  • Put the tops on and then add the sprinkles.

Notes

Tip - Add the sprinkles to the cupcakes a couple of minutes before they are done baking and they will stick a little better.
You can use your own yellow cake recipe, and frosting recipes if desired.
