Burger Cake
This cake will be the “talk of the party.” The yellow cake layer represents the bun, the brownie layer serves as the burger, and the yellow whipped topping makes a great mustard. Kiwi becomes the lettuce and pickles, while strawberries stand in for tomatoes. You’ll be using easy cake mixes, so don’t let the length of this recipe intimidate you.
