The beauty of cupcake cakes is that you can shape them any way you want, and you don't have to cut out shapes from the cake layers: just arrange the muffins and frost them! You can even make a crazy hot dog cake. It's a great themed dessert perfect for a backyard barbecue party. Guests will love eating the cake with their hands, and you can assemble it quickly and easily. Stock up on food coloring to make your hot dog cake look realistic with ketchup, mustard, and even buttercream grill marks, while the crushed green jelly beans on top will perfectly resemble pickle relish.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Tint about 2 cups of buttercream the color of the hot dog bun by mixing ivory food coloring with a few drops of brown food coloring. Tint about 2 cups of buttercream the color of the sausage by mixing equal parts red and brown food coloring. Tint a small amount of buttercream (about 0.5 cup) the deep red of ketchup. Tint a small amount of buttercream (about 0.5 cup) the deep yellow of mustard. Tint the remaining buttercream (about 0.5 cup) a rich black for grill marks.
- Place the cupcakes in 3 horizontal rows, 5 in the top and bottom rows and 6 in the middle row.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, spoon about 1/4 cup of sausage-colored frosting onto each cupcake in the middle row. Smooth the tops with an offset spatula, making a long sausage-shaped strip with rounded edges at both ends. Smooth all the edges of the cupcakes.
- Wash and dry your ice cream scoop and spatula. Spoon the bun-colored frosting onto the remaining cupcakes and smooth it out, rounding the ends to create a bun-like appearance. Lightly dampen your spatula and smooth the edges where the sausage meets the bun to maintain a clean transition.
- Place the red, yellow, and black frostings in separate piping bags fitted with medium round tips. Pipe the black frosting onto the sausage in five evenly spaced diagonal lines to create grill marks. Pipe wavy lines of ketchup and mustard along the length of the sausage. Cut the green gummy bears into small pieces and scatter them over the sausage to create a relish.
Note
If you want a larger cake, make a thicker hot dog by adding an extra row of six cupcakes in the center.
