How To: Dessert Hamburger

Hi everyone! Today we are going to show you how to make a dessert hamburger. This is a sweet version of your normal hamburger with cake and other sweet treats!
Here is a picture of what they turn out like:

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
-2 18 .25-ounce box chocolate cake mix
-8 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 8 spearmint leaf gummy candies
- 3 ounces orange rolled fondant
- cornstarch, for dusting
- vanilla frosting
- chocolate frosting
- yellow food coloring
- red food coloring
- 2 tablespoons crispy rice cereal
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2 1/2- quart ovenproof bowl and 2 8 inch round cake pans with cooking spray.

2. Beat the cake mix, eggs, buttermilk, and vegetable oil in a large bowl with a mixer.

3. Divide the batter among the bowls and pans. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes for the pans and 45 minutes for the bowl. Then cool.

4. Make the lettuce: sprinkle some sugar on a cutting board. Roll out the spearmint candies to 1/8 inch thick with a rolling pin, sprinkling with more sugar to keep the candies from sticking.

5.  Cut each flattened gummy into three strips. Fold each strip to create accordion style ruffles. Pinch the ends together.

6. Make the cheese: Roll out the fondant on a cornstarch dusted surface. Trim the fondant into a 7 inch square, wrap up, and set aside.

7. Trim the top of 1 round cake and the flat side of the bowl cake to make them level; crumble the trimmings.

8. Mix the vanilla icing, 4 tablespoons chocolate icing, and the red and yellow food coloring in a bowl to make a light brown frosting. 
 
9. Make the bottom bun: Put the trimmed round cake on a serving plate or cake board. Frost with some of the light brown frosting. Arrange the gummy-candy ruffles around the edge of the cake.

10. Make the patty: Spread the remaining chocolate frosting over the top and sides of the untrimmed round cake. Press the crumbled cake trimmings into the frosting.

11. Assemble the burger: Put the chocolate patty on the bottom bun, then drape the fondant on top. Frost the bowl- shaped cake with the remaining light brown frosting and place on the patty. Press the rice cereal into the frosting.
