Nuggets and Fries
Ingredients:
Example Pictures below
Ingredients:
- Cupcakes (baked and frosted with a thin to medium layer of frosting, chocolate suggested)
- 1 can of white frosting (yes, canned frosting, it’s the best for these projects)
- 1 pound cake (Suggested: an angel food cake in a loaf size, bought instead of baked because the consistency of store bought is better for this recipe)
- A Crinkle Cutter (Suggested: Pampered Chef cutter)
- A baggie full of cereal, crushed (Suggested: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but Corn Flakes would work just fine)
- To make the Fries
- Cut pound cake into strips, trim around all the edges, and place on cookie sheet.
- Preheat broiler, place cookie sheet in oven.
- Be sure to watch the fries VERY closely. (Cook's Note: I literally stood at the oven and counted to 10 and kept checking.)
- When one side turns brown, flip them until all sides are brown.
- For the nuggets
- Cut cake into squares, then trim the edges into a circle (of sorts) if they aren’t perfect, that’s better.
- Crush cereal as fine as possible, place in bowl.
- Heat a couple scoops of frosting in the microwave for about 20 seconds, spoon frosting over nugget and place on plate, sprinkle with cereal crumbs, gently pat them into the frosting, picking out any larger pieces.
- Spoon crumbs on the edges.
- Place in freezer for about 5 minutes to make them easier to handle, then frost the bottom and dip into crumbs.
- To Assemble
- Place a couple fries and nugget on top of frosted cupcake.
- Tint frosting bright red, frost another cupcake to make it look like ketchup.
