First, I made my batter using the recipe for vanilla cake pops that came with it! Simple. Easy. Looked delish.
I scooped the batter into a large bag, cut the tip off, and filled each crevice of my pre-heated Cake Pop Maker with batter.
3-4 minutes later...look at how PERFECT these are! Perfect, round, yummy!
Once they cooled, I dipped my pop sticks in a bit of melted chocolate and then put them into the cake balls. Next, I placed them in the freezer for a few minutes to help the chocolate set, and to make the cake balls a bit easier to dip.
Then I just started dipping my cake balls in melted chocolate. YUM!
The Cake Pop maker came with a handy little stand where you can put them to harden, but I made too many cake pops so I also used a foam block so that I could dip them all at the same time.
We added sprinkles to a few of them for fun.
Ok. My daughter and I had a LOT of fun with sprinkles! But what can I say...cake, chocolate and sprinkles are a winning combination!!
Honestly, I am in LOVE with my babycakes Cake Pop maker! It is so easy to use and the results are fabulous!! There is not a single thing that I can think of that I don't like about it!
That being said, they still tasted yummy! But they just don't rise quite the same. I think with a bit of experimenting I could get it to work though if I really wanted to.
But since it doesn't take much more time to make batter from scratch (babycake's recipes are soooooo easy!), I would stick to using their recipes for this machine.
I mean...come on...who wouldn't want to eat one of these yummy balls of goodness!!

To use a regular box cake mix do the following to make them turn out properly; Do NOT add any oil. Add milk instead of water and only add 2 eggs instead of 3. What you'll get is a heavier consistency cake that will rise properly and make "round" pops. Be sure to fill the bottom resovoirs. I either use a piping bag of my betty crocker squeeze bottle (for making pancake shapes etc.).

I have only used white cake mix. It is a professional mix but still works great. If they are not forming well then you need to fill the cylinders a little more. The excess comes off great once they are cooled.

I used a white professional mix and it turned out great. The key to the maker is to fill the holes all the way to the top. If there is extra it will be easily taken off once it cools.
