• Stir in yellow food coloring (and a drop of red if needed) until cheese colored.
• Cover to prevent drying.
• "Lettuce" Sprinkle granulated sugar on a large sheet of wax paper.
• Working with 1 at a time, place spearmint leaves on the sugar and fold wax paper over, so the candy is sandwiched between the sugar and the wax paper.

• Take the cake layer that rose the most for the top "bun".
• Place cake on wax paper and frost with remaining bun colored frosting.
• Lift onto tomato topped burger.
