I was visiting my parents one day last week and after dinner, my mom and I decided we should do a project. As part of our ever-growing repertoire of food creations, we felt the need to expand our cookie decorating skills. Armed with more Funfetti cookies than we knew what to do with, my mom and I started to experiment with the various icings she had purchased earlier in the day.
Betty Crocker makes cake and cupcake decorating icing in a can that happens to be very convenient. There are loads of colors and it comes with four different interchangeable tips so that you can make a variety of designs with the icing. The key here is that you actually need to be good at making designs in the first place. Not to knock my mom’s or my own skills, but we aren’t exactly the next Rembrandt. I’d say our decorating technique looks a bit more Jackson Pollack.
While we were playing around with the different icings, one of the creations my mom had made, reminded me of a cheeseburger. I don’t know why exactly, because she had put green and orange icing on top of a cook, but for some reason, I thought, “cheeseburger.” I then thought that was a brilliant idea and began to make a cheeseburger out of cookies and icing! I think it turned out to be pretty good so, I figured I’d share my technique with all of you!
Step 1. On the flat (bottom) side of a cookie, squirt the green icing from the center to the edge all the way around. Basically, you’re zig zagging the radius of a circle. This is the lettuce.
Step 2. Starting from the center of the cookie, in a circular motion, squirt the black or brown icing until it is about 1cm away from the edge. This is the burger.
Step 3. Take a second cookie and flip it over to the flat (bottom) side. Squirt orange or yellow icing around the edge of the cookie in a circle. This is the cheese.
Step 4. Using red icing, start from the middle and squirt straight down until the circle is about half the size of the black/brown one. This is the tomato.
Step 5. Take the cookie with the red icing and flip it over on top of the other cookie. Press down so that everything begins to come out of the sides, but not too hard where all of the icing colors mix and drip everywhere.
Step 6. Fill in any gaps of color if necessary. Once you do this, you should have something that resembles a cheeseburger. You may need to practice a few times to get the right amount of icing color ratio.
It’s that simple. Now, I won’t go into detail about some of the other creations I made or about ANY of the creations that my mom made because none of them were super pretty. We were really excited and just got carried away, as usual.
