I Need To Make 125 Hamburger Cupcakes!
Decorating By sarahbisher Updated 3 Aug 2007 , 1:32pm by kansaslaura
I have an order for 125 Hamburger Cupcakes for this weekend. I want to get started a few days early so that I'm not too stressed on Friday and Saturday and I was wondering how to keep the "patties" fresh considering that they won't be covered in frosting. Does anyone have any tips for me? Or ideas on how to make them faster? I have 7 other cake orders this weekend so I'm definitely on a time crunch and I want to make them look awesome.
Hi, this is probably going to sound stupid, (assuming you haven't made them yet) but:
~ What about using oil in place of the eggs? I use very simple eggless, milkless cake recipes and since they don't contain animal products, they stay moist for days (with or without refridgeration) - it also cuts down the chance of food poisoning if they are going to be left out.
HTH, and I'm sorry if I wasn't any...
Good luck! 
I use brownie for my "hamburger" If they get a bit dry on the edges they just get better IMHO! I like the texture difference between cake and brownie when you bite them.. you get that kinda chewy in the middle.
I'm not sure how to make a hamburger cupcake, but if the hamburger part is cake I would just wrap it well in saran wrap, then put them in the freezer. They should be fine..
Just like freezing a normal cake, then bring them back to room temperature on the counter before you start putting them all together. Like, if you're going to make them that afternoon, just take them out of the freezer that morning and let them sit out, still in the saran wrap.
Hope this helps,
Holly

I forgot about that... the chewy quality of brownies... yum! I'll have to try switching off to brownie recipies once in a while.
I've made these before, they are flippin' cute! Hot dogs too. They do take some time to assemble, but you could do it in advance.

Show us a pic of your brownie burgers!
I've been guilty for a long time of not taking pictures. I *cross my heart* will do much better!
For the small size hamburgers, baking a sheet pan, of brownies and cutting them with a cookie cutter works great. For the large hamburger, I bake a brownie in a round pan slightly larger than the bun is going to be. For ease of removal of brownies, line your pan with foil.
