That's just not nice.
Our Nephew, Alex, has most always requested a sports-themed
cake for his birthday. For his 12th, I told him that it was MY turn to pick out
his birthday cake. I've been wanting to do this faux spaghetti & meatballs
cake since one of the Gals in my Cake Club demonstrated it years ago. It was SO
fun to do, and even easier than fun. The hardest part was getting an accurate
color on the buttercream for the noodles! (Ivory, Golden Yellow & Daffodil
Yellow pastes, FYI)
So- there's a small one layer oval cake under that pile of buttercream icing
spaghetti. I iced it lightly so no cake would show thru. The noodles are
squeezed out of a tip #4, and I just kept going round & round the cake to
cover it & pile it up. The sauce is a combination of my homemade tomato
jelly & strawberry/rhubarb jam with a few sesame seeds thrown in for effect.
The meatballs are big, honkin' truffles that I added chopped pecans to the
coating chocolate so it would be bumpy. Then, as a finishing touch, I grated
almond bark over the top.
I tell you, this was a fun, quick cake!
