Mini Burgers

These mini burgers were ordered by the lovely mommy of the birthday boy to be given out as favors. The mini burgers have chicken patty made fresh by us for this occasion.

They are a lovely substitute to the candy that is normally given out as favors during parties. Healthier and much more wholesome. What a lovely mommy indeed.
