Revolutionary burnt sugar

I've never experienced a meatballs and cream sauce conundrum like I did yesterday and last night. Do I whip up the meatball mix and assemble them during the school day or not feel like it and whip everything together during the evening hour.  The recipe itself was a no brainer, nor messy.

Skipping the frying in favor of oven-baked makes these meatballs first choice, say over the teriyaki or the pineapple (sweet and sour wasn't even in the running.).  Shouldn't matter today as we were satisfied by the outcome, especially the peas and the perfectly-boiled egg noodles that rounded out the deliciousness.  Only the cream sauce fell short of what some eaters expected.

The homemade haunted Halloween houses to be assembled after school will make up for everything confusing and worthwhile in one fell swoop.  The trimmings are just begging for a chance to shine, and I'm determined they will.  The royal icing tinted orange is a surefire adhesive, the burnt sugar is for the construction, it's high-end luxury haunted houses we're invested in, so be forewarned.
