Hi everyone! I am going to be making a spaghetti cake for my son's 5th birthday coming up on August 9th. I was wondering what colors do I use to get the "pasta" color for the noodles? Any other tips and suggestions for the cake would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I put vanilla extract in regular buttercream, and it made a good color for spaghetti.

I made the spaghetti and meatballs from Hello, Cupcake and this is how I did it. on my vanilla frosting (they say to use 1 can ,10oz,) i added 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 3 drops of yellow food coloring. Since I make my own frosting I eyed the amount of cocoa powder and food coloring. The color was spot on!!! go here

I just made one last night. Just posted the pic! I made a butter cream/cream cheese mixture, then I added a tub of 'Philly' cheese-cake filling ( sold in a large tub, pre-made for cheese cake, it has a very nice shade of color). It made a great color I think. If it's too white for you still yet, you can add a tiny bit bit of yellow color.

I did one a while back, but I think I made the noodles too dark . Meatballs are Ferrero Rocher chocolates covered in strawberry sauce. White flakes is grated white chocolate. Used the grass tip for the spaghetti

For mine, I used butter buttercream and a tiny drop of yellow liquid food coloring. I used strawberry icecream sauce for the sauce, but it was a little..off. I'm not sure what would have been better. Also, two people noted (family members) that my noodles looked more like ramen then spaghetti, but I think they looked just fine.

I used a bigger opening than the grass tip--maybe a 6. **Carpal tunnel alert!

I would love to use the candies for meatballs, but my oldest child is allergic to nuts icon_sad.gif So I will be trying to make them out of brownies. As for the cake, what size did everyone use? What would be best? Thanks again for your input icon_biggrin.gif

What about cake balls (not covered in melted chocolate) for meatballs? You could vary the size of the cake from a small plate of pasta to a big platter depending upon how many people you need to serve.

Good luck!
