My kids always request something special for their birthday meal each year, so when my youngest said that all he wanted was a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs, I got creative! He loved it and is now trying to figure out what to ask for next year!

How To Make spaghetti & meatball cupcakes

  • Step 1
    Prepare cake mix as for cupcakes, following box directions. Let cool.
  • Step 2
    Ice individual cupcakes, then place cupcakes together, sides touching. Dab bits of icing between cupcake tops to make them appear as one "lumpy" cake.
  • Step 3
    Using icing bag with piping attachment, make long "spaghetti strands" of icing covering the entire "cake".
  • Step 4
    Place chocolates randomly over the cupcakes as the "meatballs".
  • Step 5
    Stir the strawberry preserves well, then drizzle over the top as the "sauce".
