Have you ever heard of cupcakes that look like spaghetti and meatballs? If not, you're in for a treat! These unusual desserts are a fun and creative way to surprise your guests at your next dinner party or event.
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you'll need to make these cupcakes:
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 1 jar of strawberry jam
- 1 package of Ferrero Rocher chocolates
- 1 can of vanilla frosting
- 1 package of thin spaghetti noodles
- Red and yellow food coloring
- Cornstarch
Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your cupcakes:
- Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the instructions on the box.
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each one about 2/3 full with the cake batter.
- Bake the cupcakes in the oven according to the instructions on the box.
- While the cupcakes are baking, cook the thin spaghetti noodles according to the instructions on the package. Drain the noodles and toss them with a small amount of cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together.
- Mix together the vanilla frosting with red and yellow food coloring to create a light orange color that resembles tomato sauce.
- Once the cupcakes are done baking, let them cool completely.
- Using a small spoon, create a small well in the center of each cupcake and fill it with strawberry jam to resemble meatballs.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the orange frosting onto the cupcakes in a swirling motion to resemble spaghetti.
- Add a Ferrero Rocher chocolate to the top of each cupcake to resemble a meatball.
- Finally, take a small amount of the cooked spaghetti noodles and place them on top of the frosting to complete the spaghetti and meatball look.
Tips
Here are some tips to keep in mind when making these cupcakes:
- Be sure to cook the spaghetti noodles until they are al dente, as they will continue to cook slightly when added to the warm cupcakes.
- Use a piping bag with a small round tip to create the spaghetti look on top of the cupcakes.
- Try experimenting with different flavors of jam to create different types of "meatballs."
- Be sure to let the cupcakes cool completely before adding the frosting and toppings, as the warmth from the cupcakes can cause the frosting to melt.
