SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Prepare your cupcakes according to package instructions. Let them cool.
• Tint the frosting with the yellow food coloring. Spread a thin layer of tinted frosting on top of the cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter close together.
• Spoon the remaining tinted frosting into a piping bag with a Number 2 Wilton tip. Alternatively, you could use a Ziploc bag and snip a small corner from the bag (1/8 inch). Either piping method is fine!
• Now, have fun piping the frosting all over the cupcakes to make the noodles (this was my favorite part!). Make sure to pile the "noodles" high and have some of the "noodles" hang over the edges of the cupcakes.
• Mix the "meatball" chocolates with the strawberry preserves in a bowl to coat. Spoon some of the preserves on top of each cupcake. Place preserves-coated chocolate on top of each cupcake. With a spoon, drizzle cupcakes with the remaining strawberry preserves.
• Sprinkle the grated white chocolate over the cupcakes to look like Parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy and Happy April Fool's Day!
