spaghetti and meatballs cupcakes
One of the most iconic parts in Lady and the Tramp is the scene at Tony’s Restaurant when Lady and Tramp are having spaghetti and meatballs. I bet that even if you haven’t seen the movie, you are familiar with this scene. I made these cupcakes for the first time a few weeks ago for an Italian-themed potluck that my family attended. It was one of those rare times when what I was hoping for in my head turned out just how I wished! These are actually really easy to make and trust me when I say that no special decorating skills or supplies are needed. In fact, I personally think that the messier, the better. Watch the video below for the full tutorial:

It had been years since I’d seen Lady and the Tramp, in fact, I’m pretty sure the last time I saw it was on VHS tape. My kids had never seen it but I thought that they would probably enjoy it. So, when I found the Blu-Ray set at my local Target I snatched it up.
We had a movie night that very evening. It has been playing on repeat in our house (and car!) ever since. It’s so fun seeing my kids love the same Disney movies that I grew up watching. I was shocked when my husband told me that he didn’t think he’d ever seen Lady and the Tramp all the way through before. So, in case you also haven’t seen it I’ll give you a brief synopsis.

Lady and the Tramp follows a year in the life of Lady. Lady is a cocker spaniel who joins Jim Dear and Darling in their quaint Victorian home. You also meet Tramp and watch their interactions as they visit each other’s worlds. Watching this movie as an adult is interesting. Not only do you realize how hard change can be for a dog, but you think about how hard the same type of change can be for a child. I enjoyed the movie growing up but I think I liked watching it with my own children even more. I highly recommend Lady and the Tramp for your next family movie night! And I just so happen to have the perfect treat to go along with it. You can find it streaming on Disney+, including the exclusive life action remake they filmed.
Would your kids be fooled by these cupcakes?
