Babycakes Mini Cake Pop Maker by Select Brands - Easy-to-Use Machine - Recipes Included - Non-Stick Coating, Non-Skid Feet & Power Light - Makes 9 Cake Pops

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 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.

Works great! It makes small balls, so prepare to have an abundance.

they really are smaller than the average cake pop. the directions said 1tablespoon of cake batter but that was too much. it ran out of some of them. I adjusted the amount and it worked perfectly. they popped right out, no stick, and cleanup was easy. the sticks I bought were too big and looked wrong. It took way too many “batches” to use all the batter so I quit before it was all gone. That being said, there are advantages to a smaller size. The kids loved them and if 1 wasn’t enough they could have 2. And we could decorate with different colors or textures or glazes. endless possibilities.

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.

I bought this hoping I could save some time when I had a large cake pop order from my home business. This was a waste of money for me and I wish I had spent more time reading the reviews and paying attention instead of just jumping in blindly. The concept is great and I guess if you are just using this to make cake pops for yourself it would be fine but for a business this is not what I needed. I went back to making them by hand and have had greater success and my business thrives. Using this maker the cake pops turned out flat and had a crisp shell. Most of them also had a ring around them from where the batter leaked out during the cooking process. I read that some people simply cut this portion off but that took way too long for me and wasn't worth the effort or loss of time. I also read that people recommend turning it upside down after 1-2 minutes to get the batter to spread forming a round cake pop. I tried this and the first time batter spilled out everywhere as I wasn't holding it tightly enough when I flipped it. The second time it worked like a charm and the cake pops turned out nice and round HOWEVER, they still had rings around them and also the hard shell. I tried reducing the amount of batter I put in the mold and it either wasn't enough to fill it so it was perfectly round or it was way too much. Both ways yielded the ring around the pops that needed to be removed. I suspect you could leave the ring if it didn't bother you however I found it was too crispy. Use caution when using this and I wouldn't suggest letting children use it unattended. I have a 10 year old who loves to cook and I won't let him use it alone because it gets way too hot. The unit gets VERY hot. The latch on the front is loose on mine and doesn't lock properly for a good seal. The first time I used this it had a horrible HOT smell and odor like melting plastic. Clean up is easy just wipe with a cloth. Unfortunately for me, this wasn't a good fit or purchase and i've since donated it as I can't use it. While it may take me longer to bake my cake from scratch in the oven, crumble and mix with homemade buttercream then mold by hand, the end product is better looking and tasting IMHO.

Easy and fun to use. Think waffle iron but with cake-pop design. Makes 9 at a time. Perfect and fun size for kids. TIPS: 1) Use the recipes from the included booklet. (I've read other reviews who tried commercial cake mixes and didn't have the best results.) Batter can be colored with food dye and flavored with favorite extract. Don't want to make too many pops at once? Uncooked batter can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Other option, bake all pops, cool and freeze some in ziplock bag for later. 2) For easy pouring/portioning, after mixing batter completely, spoon batter into a gallon size ziplock bag and cut tip off one corner at the bottom. Pipe into each circle well. For left over batter, use bread tie to close up open tip and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. 3) After baking cake-pop, put on wax paper lined pan and cool balls quickly in refrig or freezer. 4) Melt wafers/choc chips in coffee mug in microwave at 20 second intervals until melted. Stir until smooth. AVOID OVER HEATING!! 5) Dip the end of your 6-8 " long stick (about 1/2-1") in melted wafers/chips and insert half way into cooled pop to set the stick. Refrigerate or freeze on wax paper to set stick BEFORE dipping the entire ball. 6) for BEST flavor results, use Ghirardelli choc or vanilla wafers. 7) When done dipping entire ball, to avoid flat tops, turn colander upside down and use holes for pop-sticks to set upright 8) If decorating with SPRINKLES, use small sprinkles b/c heavy or large ones may slide down or off and make a mess. Highly recommend. Great for parties.

Love this baker. Cake pops done in 3 minutes so toddler doesn't loose interest. Toddler can mix batter. I've done pancakes and corn muffins. Gets very hot so toddler can't touch baker. But mixing matter and dipping in syrup or icing is activity they can do. Great for breakfast or dessert.

Works well and is easy for my 10 year old to use with limited supervision

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.

Amazing cute cake pops and very user friendly!!

It's working properly we used many times

It's very easy to use. I felt it heat quite fast. So far I made cake pops very 4 minutes a batch using the recipe in the menu. Not bad. A little more baking powder would make it perfectly round. It's also easy to clean. Just to follow the instructions in the menu. Also tried to make Takoyaki. It could take 12 minutes to make them crispy. Good product. Wish there is a bigger one can make more pops at once.
