    To decorate, break milk chocolate into pieces and place in heatproof bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water and
    leave to melt. Remove from water and stir in rice bubbles. Leave until cool enough to hold together, then form 10 balls and place on board lined with baking paper. Chill for 30 minutes until set.

    Meanwhile, pipe tops of cupcakes with Designer Icing using writing nozzle to make strings to resemble spaghetti. Put jam in a small bowl and mix with teaspoon to soften – add a little water if
    necessary. Grate white chocolate using a fine cheese grater.

    Place a crispy chocolate ball on top of each cupcake and then spoon over a little jam. Sprinkle with grated white chocolate.
