How to Make Spaghetti and Meatball Cupcakes
The expert on this video teaches how to make spaghetti and meatball cupcakes. She makes the noodles using a zip lock bag and commercial cake frosting. She places the icing in the bag and snips off the edge so that it will make a tiny noodle shaped string by drizzling it over the cupcake. She even has some tips for correcting little problems that can be used if errors occur, like using scotch tape to make a new corner of the zip lock bag.
She also demonstrates how to make a candy meatball. Grating white chocolate over the finished cupcake gives the appearance of grated cheese on top of the spaghetti.
