Spaghetti and Meatballs (made of Cupcakes and Buttercream!)
Ingredients
Store bought Chocolate cupcakes
White buttercream frosting
Piping bag with decorating tip (for spaghetti)
Seedless raspberry jam
Orange food coloring
Piping bag with decorating tip (for the jam/sauce)
Baked cookie + grater (for parmesan cheese effect)
Instructions
PLACE four cupcakes upside down on a plate. Make sure they’re all touching.
SPREAD white buttercream frosting over the cake part.
FILL a piping bag with more buttercream frosting.
SQUEEZE the piping bag over the cupcakes to make your “spaghetti.”
THROW more cupcakes into a bowl. Mash them together to make “meatballs.”
PLACE the “meatballs” on top of your “spaghetti.”
FREEZE for 30-60 minutes.
MIX the raspberry jam with orange food coloring.
FILL a piping bag with the orange jam mixture.
SQUEEZE the piping bag over the “spaghetti” to make “tomato sauce.”
SHAVE the shortbread cookie with a cheese grater to make “parmesan.”
Sushi (made of Candy!)
Ingredients
Marshmallow cereal treats
Cookie Cutters (round)
Knife
Green fruit strips
Swedish fish mini tropical flavor
Green fruit chews
Pink taffy
Instructions
USE the cookie cutter to make round shapes out of the marshmallow cereal treats to make your “rice” base.
CUT the green fruit strip and roll it around the “rice” to make “seaweed.”
TAKE the different colored candies and push them into the “rice” to decorate — green candy is “wasabi” and orange candies are “ginger.”
CREATE an additional sushi shape by cutting the marshmallow cereal treat into rectangles and place pink taffy on top to create “salmon sashimi.”
