It was inspired by something that Debi Brown did, and she provided some instructions. The "spaghetti" is made of icing colored with a small amount of cocoa and some yellow food die and was squirted on top of the cake by cutting a small hole in the corner of a ziploc bag. The "sauce" is rasberry jelly. We used sugar-free to get a brighter red color and sprinkled it on top of the spaghetti with our fingers. The "meatballs" are Ferrero Rocher chocolates rolled in the rasberry jelly, and come out of the box with a perfect meatball-like texture. The "shredded cheese" is actually shredded white chocolate. Ty and Dad had a terrific time making the cake, and Ty was very proud that he won an award.
