These are a really cute idea for a get together. If you put only one “meatball” on per cupcake and serve a bunch on a tray it looks like a HUGE bowl of spaghetti!
Ingredients:
- 12 baked and cooled vanilla cupcakes
- Homemade or store bought classic vanilla frosting
- 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup low sugar strawberry preserves (low sugar has the best color)
- 3 drops yellow food coloring
- 12 hazelnut chocolates (Ferrero Rocher), unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons grated white chocolate plus additional chunk for garnish
Step 1-Tint the vanilla frosting with the cocoa powder and yellow food coloring. Spread a thin layer of tinted frosting on top of the cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter, touching.
Step 2-Spoon the remaining tinted frosting into a ziplock bag. Snip a small corner from the bag. Now have fun piping the frosting all over the cupcakes to make the noodles. Make sure to pile it high and have some of the frosting hang over the edges of the cupcakes.
Step 3-Toss the hazelnut chocolates with the strawberry preserves in a medium bowl to coat. Spoon some of the preserves on top of each cupcake. Place a hazelnut chocolate on top of each cupcake, and one on the platter. Top cupcakes with the remaining strawberry preserves.
Step 4-Sprinkle the grated white chocolate over the cupcakes.
What a cool idea!

This is amazing! I love cupcakes, but then again…who doesn’t?
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful ideas.
These look wonderful, thank you
Looks ever so yummy!!!
Well done on a great idea – I could eat the lot!!
Oh, and thanks for stopping by on my blog, and for sharing your brilliant cup cake ideas.
I don’t know how I feel about these??!! Lol.
hahaha did I turn your mind into a pretzel!?
oh, just what I need for my diet no diet..The next time I crave something outrageously yummy I will make this!
What can I use for a chocolate substitute? (i’m allergic to cocoa in all forms, even cocoa butter lotion)!
Well the cocoa doesn’t really add anything to the frosting beside making the “noodles” more realistic. Though a good substitute would be carob powder. As for the “meatballs”, the best thing I can recommend would be carob malted milk balls. Hope this helps a little bit
An amazing culinary spin! I will be back to check out what else you come up with.
How clever are these. Fabulous idea. Love the blog.
Regards Florence x

I thought this was just a novel plating idea for real spaghetti and meatballs with marinara! You fooled me and I am French/Italian…pretty cute. YOU SUCCEEDED IN MAKING ME SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR WITH THIS ONE.
Please share your amazing culinary treasures on either of my cooking sites!
Pretty please! Make my day!
I have been moving and have no kitchen now….It is all in storage so a few guest posts would be fantastic, especially if you showed people how to make the things you make.
