Spaghetti And Meatball Cupcakes Recipes

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALL CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake until cupcakes are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and cool completely.
• Scoop the vanilla frosting into a medium bowl; tint the frosting with the cocoa powder and yellow food coloring; using an electric mixer, beat to combine. Spread a thin layer of tinted frosting on top of the cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter.
• Spoon the remaining tinted frosting into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe (Noodles) frosting all over the cupcakes, piling it high and having some of the (Noodles) frosting hang over the edges of the cupcakes
• Unwrap the hazelnut chocolates. Pour strawberry preserves into a medium bowl; toss the chocolates with preserves to coat. Place a (Meatball) coated chocolate on top of each cupcake; spoon cupcakes with the remaining (Spaghetti Sauce) strawberry preserves.
• Sprinkle the cupcakes with (Parmesan Cheese) grated white chocolate and serve.

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS (CUPCAKES)

Steps:

• Use both the unsweetened cocoa powder and yellow food coloring to tint the icing. Spread a thin layer on top of each of the 10 cupcakes and arrange on a platter, four down the center and three on each side. Place so they are just touching each other. This will form the bed for your "pasta".
• Put remaing icing in a pastry bag, press the air out then seal. Using a plain tip pipe the icing all over the cupcakes to look like spaghetti letting some fall over the sides of the cupcakes for an authentic look.
• Place the hazelnuts and strawbery preserves in a bowl and toss to coat Spoon a bit of the preserves on top of each cupcake then place a hazelnut (meatball) on each and let that extra meatball fall on the side of the platter. Sprinkle with the grated white chocolate (parmesan). Place the chocolate chunk on a small plate along with a mini grater and bring to the table when you serve your spaghetti dessert.
• Enjoy your spaghetti & meatballs!
