Fab Film Genre Cakes

These Spaghetti Western Cupcakes are the Perfect Sweet Treats for Film Buffs

— June 20, 2012 — Art & Design
In honor of Father’s Day, blogger Heather Baird (from the wildly popular blog ‘Sprinkle Bakes’) crafted these darling Spaghetti Western Cupcakes for her film-loving dad. These cakes boasts a delightfully kitschy appearance and a smashingly decadent taste. Looking every bit as savory as a main dish at a homey Italian restaurant, these deceptively sweet treats will keep everyone guessing.

These clever cakes start out as nothing more than a pedestrian bath of sour cream cupcakes baked in sleeves adorned with a snappy bandana print. Onto these golden cakes, Heather piped vanilla buttercream in a noodle-like manner. On top of the sugary noodles, she placed a sweet meatball comprised of a single Ferrero Rocher coated in raspberry jelly. She finish the whole affair off with a sprinkling of shaved white chocolate as a stand in for parmesan.

Playful, fun and heart-felt, these Spaghetti Western Cupcakes are a wonderful way to show the film buff in your life a little love.
