The Occasion
Nothing special... I wanted to make cupcakes and I received Hello Cupcake for Christmas so I flipped through it for ideas. This was the only food-related cupcake design that I had all the ingredients for without needing a run to the store. I modified the recipe a bit- homemade raspberry tart instead of strawberry jam and brownie meatballs instead of chocolate candy.
Cupcakes: White Almond Wedding Cake
Frosting: Buttercream
Spaghetti Sauce: Raspberry Tart - the raspberry texture looked like chunky marina sauce.
Meatballs: Brownies, slightly undercooked and rolled into a ball.
Cheese (on top): Bakers white chocolate, shaved
Changes for next time
- Make enough meatballs for each cupcake- they were delicious and added a lot to the look.
- The frosting would do well to be refrigerated overnight so that it is thicker. The noodles didn't turn out well when the frosting was getting warm.
- Refrigerate the cupcakes after adding one layer of noodles helped the frosting to retain it's 'noodle' shape and not melt together. Props to Nate for this idea... unfortunately I had already finished most of this batch by the time we tried it!
