Slivered Almonds

Sugar cookie dough

Powdered Sugar

Food colorings red and green

Directions.

1) First off, take a 9" round cake pan and bake the first layer of the cake. that would be using the yellow cake mix for the bottom bun. let first layer cool on a rack.

2) Next, take the round 9" cake pan, and bake the brownie mix according to the box directions in it. cool on a wire rack when it is done.

3) Next get a glass pyrex bowl, about the same diameter as the 9" cake pans. make sure to butter and flour it so the cake wont stick to it. fill it with the mix, and bake as directed on the box. cool on a wire rack when its done.

4) roll out the sugar cookie dough, and either use cookie cutters that resemble lettuce and tomatoes, or get creative and shape them yourself. cool according to directions. when the cookies are done, mix up a seperate bowl of powdered sugar and water. color the glaze with either red, or green food coloring, then glaze the cookies.

now its time to assemble.

put the first layer of yellow cake onto your serving tray. set it on parchment paper so you dont get frosting all over your serving tray. Take your white frosting, tint it brown, and frost this layer.

Next carefully place the brownie layer on top of the first layer. Frost it using the Chocolate chip frosting. For added texture to make the "patty" look meaty, i mixed in shredded coconut into the frosting. it was a little hard to spread it, but doable.

Next take the marshmallow cream and put it on top of the frosted brownie layer. Be careful it can get a little out of hand when it starts to warm up. it will drip down the sides of the patty, and it looks like mayonaise.

next add the colored glazed sugar cookies.

next add the last top rounded layer. Frost the top layer with more brown tinted frosting. Add slivered almonds for the "sesame seed" look.

Take your yellow and red food gel and squirt it on to look like mustard and ketchup.

now you have a beautiful hamburger cake!

this took me five hours to finish!
