Bakerella's Father's Day Happy Meal

Bakerella is reliving the past, by re-posting her "Fast Food Fun" from Father's Day four years ago. This cute "meal" is actually made from cupcakes, brownies, and cookies. I think making the french fries would be my favorite part, and not just because I love french fries. They are made from sugar cookies and the "salt" are sugar (isn't that ironic?). You can find instructions for the whole presentation, including a template for the french fry tray here. Happy Father's Day!

Sliders = New Trend

Your eyes see one thing, but your mouth will taste another. Fellow cupcake lover Lisa Smiley of Smiley's Sweets and Creations posted these "cupcake sliders" that she recently made. These sliders are made out of vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. She used coconut for the lettuce and colored frosting for the ketchup and mustard.

Not only is this a creative idea for cupcakes, but sliders seem to be the big thing right now. I have been reading about many different restaurants and fast food chains that are adding sliders to their menus.

Burger King has recently began selling two kinds of sliders. You can buy the BK Burger Shots or the BK Breakfast Shots.

Jack in the Box is testing out sirloin sliders at a few of their restaurants in San Diego.

Other restaurants are also jumping on the slider bandwagon. You can find sliders on the menu at Polly's Pies, P.F. Chang's, Yard House, Salt Creek Grille, Morton's Steakhouse, and many more. Ruby's Diner is selling turkey sliders that are served on King's Hawaiian rolls. King's Hawaiian rolls are heaven!
