Last night my husband's, er, my son's Cub Scout pack held a cake auction. It was our first year so we didn't know what to expect and arrived with two cakes to put up for auction that seemed quite nice at home and incredibly lame at the event when surrounded by very imaginative cakes. Including this Krabby Patty Cake, pardon the grainy photograph I didn't have my good camera, my friend Jodi came up with, as she said, "All by herself." She didn't snag the idea from a book or magazine, it's all out of her brain...and even better, it was really simple.
She made 12 cupcakes with nice rounded tops. She cut the tops off and used them as the top "bun" and the bottom piece as the base for each Patty. She also baked a layer of chocolate cake in a jelly roll pan and cut circles out of it to make the actual "patty" part of the burgers. To finish the look she used red, green and yellow decorator frosting to apply the condiments.
