Tailgating Treats

It's fall, and along with fall comes wonderful weather, colorful leaves, and football! At work we welcomed the fall season with a treat day. The theme was "Tailgating Treats," and I had to rack my brain for cupcake ideas. Some people take tailgating very seriously and set out quite a spread. The food possibilities for this theme were endless. In the end, I decided hamburgers were a must for tailgating. These little sliders were created by slicing a cupcake in half horizontally. Round cookie cutters were used to slice gooey brownies into meat patties. I used colored icing to create condiments, and the lettuce was a mix of coconut and green food coloring. The finishing touch was the sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Now if only I had fries to go with these burgers...
