Spaghetti and Meatballs Cupcakes

2011-04-12T22:12:00.002-06:00

Spaghetti Cupcakes are easy and fun to make. Simply bake your cupcakes and once they are cool pipe buttercream icing in a bag with a #4 decorating tip. Make it squiggly to look like noodles. To make the meatballs, dip Ferera Rochette chocolate balls in a red jelly or jam. Grate white chocolate on the top to look like parmesan cheese and thats it!

All layers were iced with buttercream and decorated with a simple border.
