Since it has been 4 years since I originally posted this - I'm reposting - since it is a much loved tradition in our home...one that our kids talk about, and wait for all year long.
Here's our traditional April Fool's Day dinner.
Much to my children's delight, our "spaghetti and meatballs" are the main entree, and our "cupcakes" are our dinner entree.
Our spaghetti is made from a slice of cake (anything BUT angel food cake will do) centered on a plate, then covered with small strands of frosting piped from a frosting bag (or a very stiff sweetened whipping cream if angel food cake is used). The entire concoction is then covered with a sauce made of blended fresh strawberries and a touch of sugar.
Once a year folks!

Our meatballs are 'chocolate no bake cookies' - rolled into balls before they completely cool.
For Dessert, I use the meatloaf recipe from Feet of Meat for our 'cupcakes' and cook it in muffin tins, and frost the (meatloaf) cupcakes with mashed potatoes, and sprinkle with chives.
Once a year folks!
