Kelly Noto told me about these cute little "hamburger" dessert items that a friend of hers made for a Fourth of July party. I finally had the opportunity of making some for my neighbor Mitzi's birthday dinner. I did the baking and Scott did the decorating, and we were pleasantly surprised how cute these little hamburgers and fries came out. The hamburger bun was a yellow cupcake (made from a box mix, cut in half); the hamburger was a brownie (made from a box mix and cut in a circle) and the fries were sugar cookies (make from Betty Crocker's bag mix and cut in strips). I also had a chance to try out another dessert recipe that I cut out of the newspaper years ago -- and it was a whole lot easier and a big hit. Glad I bought those martini glasses at the Pier One after-Christmas sale. Here's some photos of the desserts and the birthday honoree.
