Burger Men Cupcakes by Crumbs and Doilies
How unfair to encounter this first thing in the morning! I blame you, Ken of Crumbs and Doilies! It seems that Crumbs and Doilies, the “spiritual home - or, at the very least, London pied à terre - of the cupcake” hooked up with Jon to create some doodled delicacies for this weekend’s Cake Britain show at the Future Gallery.
Sponsored by the good folk over at Tate and Lyle in celebration of their move to Fair Trade sugars a selection of the UK’s finest and funnest artists have come together with some of the country’s top bakers (and, er, us) to create the world’s first entirely edible exhibition. We paired up with illustrative supremo Jon Burgerman who was kind enough to provide us with this picture of some burger men (geddit?) as inspiration. A lot of baking, custom cupcake molds, sugarcrafting and a moderate amount of cursing later and here they are - Crumbs and Doilies x Jon Burgerman Burger Men!
This is all kinds of awesome from the edible art to the whimsical wrappers. I’ve come to understand that while we Americans may have the monopoly on hamburgers, the British truly understand cake. If you’re in the area, all proceeds go to charity.

Jeez, I sure could murder one of those right now. Ummm. That’s not the most conventional veggie statement of the day, huh? Actually I don’t thinkk I could do it, they’re way too cute! Ahh, that’s why I’m veggie. I remember now. (Veggie) Burgeralicious.
