INSTRUCTIONS

sesame seeds (ENTIRELY optional) yellow, green and red food coloring
I. Preheat oven to temp. called for on cake mix box.
Grease three 8-inch round cake pans.  Prepare batter according to
directions on box.  Divide batter equally among 3 cake pans, bake
20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 min.; remove.  Cool on wire racks. II. Prepare
fondant to be used for lettuce, tomato and cheese decorations. Blend
confect. sugar, butter, corn syrup with elec. mixer. When mixture
becomes too hard to mix, turn onto board and knead by hand until
smooth. Divide into 3 pieces, 1 slightly larger than other 2. Knead
yellow color into largest piece (cheese), green into another piece
(lettuce), red into 3rd piece (tomato). Wrap in plastic wrap to
prevent drying. III. Place one cooled cake layer on serving plate.
Frost with 1/2 can p-nut butter frosting (or other brownish-color
frosting).  This is BOTTOM HALF of hamburger bun. IV. Roll out green
fondant on board dusted with confect. sugar to a thickness of 1/8 in.
Cut into 6 pieces. Shape/curl edges to resemble lettuce. Place on
top of frosted layer, near outer edge, to look like lettuce. V. Roll
out red fondant to 1/4 inch. Cut into rounds, use 2-inch cookie
cutter. Cut each round in half.  Place on lettuce near outer edge of
frosted cake layer. VI. Frost top/sides of 2nd cake layer w/chocolate
frosting. Press chocolate sprinkles onto top and sides of layer by
hand. Use two wide metal spatulas to place it over the "tomato and
lettuce"-topped bottom layer. This represents the "hamburger". VII.
Roll out the yellow "cheese" fondant into an 8-inch square. Place on
top of hamburger layer so that it looks like a cheese slice. VIII.
Place 3rd cake layer on top of "cheese", rounded side P>: up. Frost
it w/remaining p-nut butter frosting, taking care not to get frosting
on other layers. This is the top half of the hamburger bun. Finish by
sprinkling w/a few sesame sees (OPTIONAL). Makes 8-10 servings.
