Mini Cake Pop Maker & Mold, Bakes 9 Nonstick Cake Pops at Once

I gotta say I was a little torn on whether or not to make this purchase because the reviews were so mixed, but I am so glad I did!!!! I absolutely LOVE this! It was so easy to use, affordable, and such a time saver. My daughter wanted cake pops for her birthday, and honestly I don't care for them made the "original" way, so I purchased this. I saw the reviews where people said you couldn't use box mix, that it didn't turn out right, or was not done in the middle, and it had me worried. Fortunately everything went great! I did use box cake mix, and I can honestly say there were NO issues at all. I mixed up the cake batter, and I put it in a piping bag because it made it so much easier to fill each spot quickly so that they got done evenly. It took literally just 2-3 min and they were done! I couldn't believe it, they turned out perfect. If you fill each spot just below the top they do not over flow and they are perfectly round. Also just spray a little cooking spray top and bottom every couple of batches, and youre good to go. The only prob. I ran into which wasn't really a prob. And more likely my own fault anyway was the stick did not want to stay in when I was trying to dip them in the choc., but that didn't slow me down I just spooned the choc. Onto each one and popped them in the freezer to set. We also done some with frosting, if you melt it slightly you can pour it over, worked great! Overall we were 100% satisfied with this purchase, and I definately highly recommend this purchase. I will say that I do wish it had a power switch on it, because the second you plug it in it is on, and remains that way until you unplug it. We had so much fun using this, it's such a cute color, and arrived quickly.

First off, this mini cake pop maker is a life saver! I used to make cake pops the traditional way with crumbled cake and frosting, then followed by rolling them into balls but that whole process took far too much time so I decided to invest in this machine. With this machine I don't have to worry about the consistency of the cake pop and the frosting (when it's too moist the cake pop will break through the lollipop stick or it can sometimes break when you coat your chocolate due to the weight- very frustrating!). The first time I used this machine, I used brownie mix and it turned out to be a disaster. The brownies would stick on the non sticking plate even though I rubbed/sprayed cooking spray on it every single time. The second time I used the cake mix box sold in stores and they came out to be perfect! Greasing the plates were not required because they popped right out and in perfect shape! When I poured too much cake batter into the maker, it'd overflow and leave extra cake scraps but it's easy to remove. Some of the balls had "Saturn" rings around it and I kept it that way without trimming the edges because it wasn't too visible and it kind of gave the cake pop a natural lollipop look to it. In the end I coated my cake balls with Wilton Candy Melts which can be purchased in Walmart, Michaels, or Joanns. Pros: Easy to use Easy to clean Makes the cake pops extremely fast! (3-5 minutes for a batch) Cons: Machine gets extremely hot so make sure to touch the handle for open and close access Overall my experience with this machine was good. I wasn't too happy with this machine at first because my pops failed (with the brownie mix).. but practice makes perfect right? They came out perfect the second time (as shown in my pictures when I used cake mix) so don't be discourage if you fail the first few times because you need to get the hang of it first. It is recommended that you do test the machine to make sure it works properly and test your cake balls before you decide to make cake pops for any occasions.

Super easy! I used box cake mix and even modified with flax eggs for my egg allergy son. And they came out perfect! They are about the size of a quarter round. I followed directions- made sure everything was prepped first and then heated up maker. I used a bag to pipe in batter. They came out perfect spheres on the first try! I experimented with 3 or 4 minutes and still had same results. Mine were a little air inflated though which could be due to me not using eggs. But still very happy with the result!!

I have only used it once, but was at it for over an hour, so I have a fair amount of experience! I used regular from a box cake mix. First batch, I tried to just "spoon" in the mixture. That was a disaster.... it just took too long, and the first ball or two rose too quickly, so when I closed the lid, it smeared everywhere. No worries - easy to clean up!! I poured the rest of the cake mix into a zip lock bag, and cut the corner, to have a more controlled pour. Filling moved quickly (just don't squeeze the bag too hard, or it'll pop open and you'll have a bigger mess on your hands). As this was our first time, we just ate them as cake balls - no sticks, nothing iced/coated. They were delish!!! So not sure how they would hold up to being dipped in coating. Of course, I used regular boxed mix, so that stuff isn't made to be fully iced. There are a few recipes in the instruction booklet. I may try those later on. I only gave this a 4 star, because the balls are small (think of a quarter, if it were a ball) and it was extremely time consuming, even "piping" the batter into the holes. 9 balls just isn't much at once. They do cook quickly - 4ish minutes each round. But that means you have to pay attention to them. I did it by myself, which was fine. But next time, I'll have a family member help. I can pipe in the batter - they can pop the balls out when done. Nothing stuck - it all came out clean. Even any spills or over-fills! I didn't have to spray it before use either. Not sure how that'll hold up for future uses. Overall, I do recommend this, esp for those who don't want to do the "traditional" cake pops (which are way too sweet to me!!!). I think these would be cute for some themed desserts, such as spaghetti and meatballs or similar.

I was concerned this would be complicated or i would need a special recipe due to a review we saw on here but in the end there was nothing easier to use. Here is what we did, we got a box of cake mix ingredients needed were eggs water and oil, pluged in the machine so it had time to heat, and in a bowl mixed the ingredients, we thene put everything in an empty water bottle with a sport drink top to make it easier to pour, we sprayed a bit of oil in the molds of the machine and started filling them, 3 to 5 min later we opened it amd theye were perfectly cooked , however the first 3 i did had the time to expand by the time we filled the 6 others and closed the machine so there was some mix that got out of the mold, we just peeled of the extra and still had a ball, second time we put the mix in the machine faster and they came out even more perfect, took us about 30 min to cook a whole box of cake mix, by the time the next batch was ready the previous one was alrwady eaten, we were able to pile up the last 4 or 5 batches for a nice pic, Now the top part does not cook as much cause it takes time to expand and touch the heated mold, but if you want the cake to be a golden brown all around all you got to do is open the machine 2 minutes in spin the cake over and let cook with the top open for another 2 minutes. These cake balls are prety small i would say the size of a quarter. Personally we ate theme with no icing or anything almost like doughnut balls. We also tried sticking a peice of chocolate inside before closing the top part and it works great the chocolate fell the the center and the cake puffed up all around it. As for the cleaning nothing a small peice of damp paper towel cant fix just had a few drops of oil that leaked the back of the machine. Hope this helps ppl who are hesitating on buying this.

Bought for granddaughter and she liked it but the cake pop only got brown on one side when it was baked.

Good product for your little bakers in the making

Estaba bastante desconfiada porque soy de esas personas que si mira una receta de como hervir agua, se le quema!...Me tome el tiempo de leer las instrucciones y las segui al pie de la letra. Encendi la maquina como dice hasta que la luz se apago, en el interin pincele aceite. Puse la mezcla, utilice la de panqueques y le puse azucar porque la mezcla es amarga. Utilice una cuchara y quizas no es la mejor manera porque mientras sigo poniendo, la primera empieza a hincharse. Cerre y deje unos 3 minutos la primera vez, la segunda deje menos porque como esta caliente, demora menos que la primera vez. Y SALIERON!!!! son pequena, no son como las que vende Starbucks pero para tomar un cafecito sirve!...asi que tendre que ir alguna tienda a comprar chocolate cobertura y chispas!!!...ah!! utilice un palillo esos de brochet para retirarlas, no usen tenedor porque rayan y luego se pega. Trae un recetario, una y media de harina con dos huevos y no me acuerdo cuanto de azucar. Salieron amargos, le puse miel y canela y salieron mejor.

Bonita, pequeña y sobre todo fácil de usar

Amazing cute cake pops and very user friendly!!

It's working properly we used many times

Quedé fascinada con esta máquina. Esta es la VERSIÓN MINI de baby cakes aunque aún así tienen excelente tamaño estilo bocadito. Súper fácil de operar y te resulta increíblemente sencillo hacer las paletitas y decorarlas como tu quieras, desde formas tan sencillas hasta con más detalles, todo está en tu creatividad. Las prepara bien solo que en ocasiones dependiendo la masa, sea salada o dulce, la cocción parece ser la misma, pero si hay que estar al pendientes de los indicadores verde y rojo. La máquina tiene un tamaño muy pequeño pero práctico para almacenarse o para tenerse a la mano y no ocupa mucho lugar. Excelente opción para cocinarles a los peques. Prepara 9 bolitas de pan en una serie. Una recomendación, para que puedan servir la mezcla, hay que utilizar un envase como para catsup o crema como para hotdogs, es más útil para servir la masa en los moldes y para que sean perfectamente redondas hay que voltearla a los pocos segundos que cerrarla y encenderla dejarla 2-3 minutos volteada y luego volverla a poner de en forma correcta con su base abajo el resto de minutos para que salgan bien en forma.

I don’t like traditional cake pops so these are perfect! I’ve used a couple different recipes and they’ve all turned out great. It’s more like a donut rather than a cake pop and so far the donut recipes I’ve used have worked great! It’s small and easy to store. Cake pops come out easily. Just getting the right amount is a little tricky but it’s easy to clean any over spills.
