My ''Sliders & Fries''

17 years ago

I've been most of the summer with very little availability and accessibility to the computer. Don't ask! I'm still seething over it!

Anyway, I wanted to jump on the "cupcake sliders" bandwagon! I made some for the girls' cheerleading camp this summer and they turned out great! Here's a picture of the burger and fries...before adding extra fries to the box:

I used the template on Bakerella's website and made the {{gwi:1564186}} (out of card stock), {{gwi:1564187}} (out of velum), and {{gwi:1564188}} (out of tissue paper). [Just a note...the tissue paper wouldn't feed through the printer so I had to tape it to a sheet of regular paper.]

I used sugar cookie dough to make the fries. I added a little clove, turbinado sugar, and cinnamon to make it look like salt & pepper on the fries. I had a lot of {{gwi:1564189}} , so I went back and added fries to each lunch box.

They were a huge hit! I made 36 "lunches." I would have loved to have used green coconut for the shredded lettuce, but I had already been told no coconut desserts! I think I'll try to make "cheese" next time, too. I made the brownies in two 11 x 9 foil pans, so they came out the right thickness for the "burgers."

And do you remember my problem with the liners falling off the cupcakes? Here, on a project where I needed to remove the liners...not a single one came off on its own! LOL! Figures!

So...it was a lot of fun. It wasn't nearly as hard to do as I expected. Thanks to loves2cook4six for getting me excited about trying these!

Those are outstanding! This is the first I've heard of cupcake sliders, but I think I'm going to use this idea soon. Thanks for posting your pics. Great job!

One looks like it has white edges, the other looks like it has green edges. One at the HL from the originator shows green edges. Is it just the light OR are my old eyes missing something here. Does it readily sport? I had to remove an all green eye from my Rainforest Sunrise and my Cat and Mouse today. Part of the fun of hostas is that they sport, part of the frustration too when you want a specific look on a plant. -Babka

My Fried Green Tomatoes

Thanks Ed, they were real good, to the point where I would use a green one again to sacrafice a ripe one. Dirtguy, I would say possibly a slight ripe to none. The tomatoes in the photo had the bottoms starting to turn red. I think the whole problem with too much ripeness is the moisture in when it is fried. I read the trick is to put salt on both sides and let them sit to help drain the moisture on a rack or paper towel. I also notice that sticking the tomatoe in lour mix then egg then back to flour helped because they were moist still. I am going to try one that is totaly unripe next and compare.

I guess. I got a terrarium halogen bulb and light and it's way too hot for any plants. Not sure why anyone would want one.

Unbelievable! What a great job and a "mom to 4" as well. Deb, you have such a gift, so creative! I recall the costume you made for one of the girls, Martha Washington I think, unbelievable. Not to mention my wonderful swap parcel.

You're family is very lucky to have you, as you are to have them.....

Sharon, I now have that costume, her daughter outgrew it and she handed it down to Makayla. Of course, the Monkey Princess is a bitty little thing, like Ashley, and is still wearing a size 5, so it still doesn't fit. She loves the wig, LOL.

Deb, those turned out so darned cute. I'd have the patience for the burgers, it would probably extend to the fries, but I'd never get into the printing of the paper and the assembly of the boxes, you're a better woman than I am.

That's pretty darned amazing....

You are something! I sure don't have the patience or skill to make something like that. Your kids are sure lucky.

Thank you! Thank you! **Blushing** You give me FAR TOO MUCH credit! I just followed directions! I'm not at all creative! I give most of the credit to Bakerella for making such wonderful templates and directions. The rest of the credit goes to "loves2..." for making it seem achievable! Annie, given what I've seen of Makayla's craft skills...you could get her to cut out and make those boxes and bags!

You guys are so great to remember that Martha Washington costume!! It was fun...not as much fun as making food, mind you!...but fun, nonetheless! I just wish the Monkey Princess would grow so I can see it on her! LOL!

Oh, another tip on the "fries." Make them one cookie sheet at a time. I put two sheets in the oven the first time. Even though I cut the cookie dough into 1/4-inch strips, they really expanded while baking. I had to use a pizza cutter to cut them to shoestring fry-size. They crisp up so fast once they're out of the oven, I couldn't get through the second sheet of cookies. We ate that batch of fat fries!

Okay...so who's making sliders next?!!!

(Not me, in answer to your question, Deb) I just wanted to chime in on how fantastic your sliders and presentation is. You are very creative. I am sure the girls loved them!
