Tips for making the perfect hamburger cake:

- Make it round

...ish.

 

- Include appetizing toppings:

Tentacles and earth worms optional.

 

- Mini-burger cakes can be piles of fun!

(Garnish with corn sprinkles for an experience your customers won't be able to pass by.)

 

- To really add to the "burger" illusion, try a light sprinkling of sesame seeds:

- Or the ever-popular condiment rope:

- Just don't forget the icing!

- And to make your cakes extra memorable, throw in something unexpected. You know, like Funyons:

Believe me, your customers won't soon forget the pungent combination of onion powder and chocolate icing. No matter how hard they try.

 

- However, if you must make a fun "beverage" to go with your burger cake, NEVER MAKE IT CHOCOLATE.

And btw, to the baker who first thought filling one cup with chocolate icing was a good idea: it's too soon. It will ALWAYS be too soon.

(If you don't get it, for the love of Stay Puft, don't google it.)

 

- And finally, when all else fails:

Go with hot dogs.

P.S. Any Bob's Burgers fans here?

The Bob's Burgers Burger Book

Even if you don't need another recipe book, I highly recommend browsing the Table of Contents for gems like "Poutine On The Ritz," "The Sound and the Curry," and "Texas Chainsaw Masa Curd." Hilarious.
