Dessert Imposter Time!

Winner Bakes All!

Dessert ImPASTA!

      This week my area had snow and a freezing rain storm, which meant no school. Some people at my school don't agree that we should have wasted a snow day on this, but it means an extra day off to me! However, snow days leave me bored with nothing to do. So what do I do? I turned on Food Network and watched Kids Baking Championship. The episode I watched involved dessert imposters, desserts that look like savory foods. And that got my creative juices flowing. I wanted to make a dessert imposter, and I decided on making spaghetti and meatballs. I though about how I would make them, and once I figured it out, it was time to get to work. I was making cake earlier in the day and I decided to use the cake scraps in this imposter. I put some cake in the bottom of the bowl to begin. Then, I used colored frosting to make the noodles using a special piping tip. To make meatballs, I mixed chocolate cake and chocolate ganache to make a dough kind of texture. I then rolled them into balls. They didn't seem very realistic, so I melted raspberry jam and painted it on the balls. I made a strawberry coulis as the spaghetti sauce. Lastly, to top it off, I shaved white chocolate on it to make it look like parmesan cheese. And at last, it was done! I was super excited to make this and I love how realistic the finished product came out!
