Best April Fools Spaghetti And Meatballs Cake Recipes

SPAGHETTI-AND-MEATBALL CAKE

Steps:

• Make two 8-inch-round chocolate cakes as the cake mix label directs; cool completely. Crumble 1 cake into a bowl. Squeeze a handful of crumbs into a 2-inch ball; roll between your hands until smooth. Repeat to make 2 more cake balls.
• Sprinkle some of the remaining cake crumbs on a clean surface. One at a time, roll the cake balls in the crumbs, pressing lightly to coat. If necessary, moisten the cake balls with water to help the crumbs stick.
• Assemble the cake: Put the remaining whole cake on a serving plate or cake board. Spread about 1 1/2 cups vanilla frosting on the cake with an offset spatula; run the spatula around the sides to make it smooth.
• Arrange the cake balls on the cake. Mix the remaining frosting, the yellow food coloring and cocoa in a bowl; transfer to a pastry bag with a small round tip. Pipe the yellow frosting around the cake balls in a figure-eight motion to look like spaghetti.
• Make the strawberry sauce: Puree the strawberries in a food processor until slightly smooth with a few chunks. Spoon 1/2 cup strawberry puree around the meatballs to look like sauce.
• Grate white chocolate on top of the cake to look like parmesan cheese. Serve the cake with the remaining strawberry puree on the side.

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALL CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Unwrap your cupcakes and discard the small cardboard square from the bottom. If any orange icing is hanging over the edge of cupcake, you can gently remove some of it so it does not show on your finished product.
• Prepare your frosting can by attaching the small circle decorating tip.
• Begin assembling by piping a pile of 'spaghetti' all over the top of your cupcake.
• Add a hazelnut chocolate 'meatball' on top of the soft frosting.
• Next, carefully spoon or squeeze some jelly 'sauce' right on top of the meatball.
• Now grate some white chocolate 'cheese' over the whole top of the cupcake.
• Repeat the process for all the cupcakes and allow them to set.

APRIL FOOLS SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For Cupcakes:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Set foil baking cups on baking sheet.
• Mix ingredients in a large bowl on medium speed until moistened for 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and beat for two minutes longer until thick.
• Fill baking cups two thirds full with batter. Large cups yield about 15, small cups about 24 cupcakes.
• Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes; depending on size of cups.
• Remove cupcakes from oven and baking pan, place on cooling racks, and allow to cool completely. Set aside for decorating. Cupcakes can be baked the day before decorating. Store covered in a cool dry place.
• Decorating the Cupcakes:
• Place frosting in a small bowl, add cocoa powder and yellow food coloring and mix well.
• Frost cupcakes with a thin coating of frosting and place cupcakes on serving platter.
• Fill decorator bag (use medium round tip) with frosting and pipe frosting all over cupcakes as if they were one big plate of spaghetti.
• Unwrap chocolates and place in small bowl. Cover chocolates with strawberry preserves and mix gently. Place one chocolate "meatball" on each cupcake and drizzle strawberry preserves over the top.
• Use remainder of strawberry preserves to cover areas of the frosting. Serve as one giant platter of "spaghetti and meatballs."

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!
