I will be making a cake for a fund raising event. It is for my son's school and it will be held at Fuddruckers. (The fuddruckers is in our local Furniture store where lots of people come through so I'm very excited! 
)
My question is How would I make the wedge fries and How much would you charge for the cake. (I'm not charging the school but if people ask)
Here is a pic of what I'm going to do. It will also have a drink beside it.
Thanks for any help!
Jen...
I made a burger and fries cake and made krinkle fries with a krinkle cutter, they looked real. To make the wedges, I would roll you sugar cookie dough in a ball and cut wedges. Color the dough yellow and you can even sprinkle cocoa or cinnamon on them to add the brown coloring. Good luck! 
I'd just make them from fondant. They will be more even that way since cookies will spread a bit. You can color the fondant the lighter color and then accent it with chocolate brown petal dust to get the cooked look.
I start carved cakes at $250 (depending on the size though... if your burger is going to be small then you could adjust).
I know where you'll be. I took my kids to see The Polar Express at the IMAX a couple years back and we ate at Fudruckers. I used to live in Malden and worked at the Square One Mall when I was younger (like 10 years ago YIKES!! 
). Good luck with the fundraiser!
when i made my fries i made a mini sheet cake, cut into strips once it cooloed and sprinkled with yellow sugar crystals to look like salt. I like the other ideas in order to get the brown color
jkalman; I very excited because that Fuddruckers is visited by a lot of people, plus I will be in the middle area of Jordan's By the Jelly bean store where the tables are, so lots of people should be able to see my cakes! Hopefully some business will come of it!

I just watched an ACE of CAKES episode where he made a kahlua and cream drink and for the ice he boiled sugar/water to hard crack poured it on a cookie sheet, when cool and hard, just cracked it with a hammer, the drink I believe was just royal icing...but I s'pose to get a transluscent look for a soda you might be able to use gelatin(jello)...actually couldnt you make clear jello jigglers...oh scratch that jello idea it would prob melt sitting out any length of time for an auction.
We just use plain white cake to cut the wedges from, then airbrush them...don't ice them leave them just as carved cake pieces.
You don't need a specific ratio of water to sugar as the water evaporates completely by the time the sugar gets to the hard crack stage. Just put enough water to make it wet. 1 c of sugar and 1/4 of water should be good... you can double if you need more.
Chutz... my son was 2.5 when we went to see the movie and I figured he'd be sick of it 1/4 of the way through... but he sat still as a statue through the whole thing including the credits. It was in 3-D so I'm sure that helped, but he loved it so much. We read it at Christmas time too. Such a good book. Very cool to have lived where it was based from. It's like me watching movies/reading books based in Boston. It's much more interesting when you know where things are and how they are related.
It's a temperature thing... you achieve the hard crack stage when sugar reaches about 300 degrees. Get a thermometer made for making candy and it will have the temps marked with the different stages as well.
