Spaghetti and Meatball Cake Pops

I love adorable sweet treats. From cakes, cupcakes, and now the newest craze – cake pops. Soon you will be seeing these bite-sized works of art at every birthday party and sold in every bakery. Learn how to make your own with the help of Wilton’s Pops! Sweets on a Stick Book. Wilton products and classes have helped me create many delectable treats including my husband’s golf birthday cake last year and these festive mini pumpkin cakes for Fall.

When I heard Wilton was having a cake pop blogger contest, I just had to join in. I was also one of the first 50 bloggers to register, so Wilton sent me all of the cake pop supplies I need to test out my creations.  With my many trials and tribulations, I present to you….

Spaghetti and Meatballs Cake Pops!

If this is your first time making cake pops, I must admit, just like decorating cupcakes or cakes, practice makes perfect. There are a few tricks however, which can help you with the process. To make Spaghetti and Meatball Cake Pops, you must first make the basic cake pop recipe in your Wilton Cake Pops book and follow the “How To Mix a Cake Pop” instructions on their website. I recommend using a yellow cake mix and chocolate frosting, it’s delicious!

Besides all of the ingredients for making the basic cake pops, for making these Spaghetti and Meatball pops, I recommend the Wilton Chocolate Pro Electric Melting Pot, chocolate candy melts, the Wilton Natural Colors Fondant, Multi Pack(I mixed the pink and light brown to get an off-white color), and Wilton gel frostings in red, dark red, and/or black, found in a craft store such as Michaels. You can find a full list of cake pop supplies here.

Here are some quick tips when making cake pops:

  • Make sure you follow the directions and place your cake balls in the freezer for at least two hours before you insert the sticks. I also like to roll them again after those two hours, to create a smoother circle.
  • Keep your chocolate melting pot rim clear of melted chocolate. Chocolate can easily mess up your sticks if you’re not careful!
  • The more chocolate you have in your melting pot, the easier it will be for you to successfully dip your cake pop.

Making these Spaghetti and Meatball cake pops is easy!

  1. Dip all of your cake pops in the (brown) melted chocolate and let harden.
  2. Cover the hardened cake pops with the gel frosting to make it look like spaghetti sauce. You can use whatever color you like, I mixed black and red. Let frosting dry.
  3. Meanwhile, you can make the Spaghetti out of fondant. I first mixed the pink and light brown colored fondant and rolled it quite thin. I then cut the fondant into long strips to resemble spaghetti.
  4. Melt red candy melts in your chocolate melting pot.
  5. Turn your cake pop meatball upside down and place a little red chocolate on the cake pop close to the stick. Start curling your fondant Spaghetti around the base of the cake pop in the red chocolate until you have your desired amount of spaghetti!
  6. Eat!

  2. Wow! I hadn’t heard of these! I did finish a Wilton Cake Decorating class a few years ago, and now people are always asking me to make cakes for them! I mean, people have no idea how long that takes! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Hi!

    I’m Sam from The Mom and Dad Reviews. I see that you’re from Omaha. I’m looking to get a group together of Omaha bloggers to meet once a month to chat and have some coffee! I’m looking for our first date to be near the end of Feb. I thought Panera Bread next to Oakview Mall would be a nice place for our first meeting.

    If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please shoot me an email at:

    Hope to hear from you soon!
    Sam
