I got the cake pop pans for the kids for Christmas. Camden is home with me today. We were watching Price is Right today and someone had to guess the price of a cake pop pan, which then brought us in the kitchen using our own.
Easy to do, but I do have a few tips for you from learning from our mistakes.
Coat your pan before each use. Make your cake mix according to direction. I was glad to have had my little scooper, a spoon would have been pretty messy.
Cover and clip your pans together.
My big tip is to “spill” the batter over the top a bit. It needs to have the right amount of mix in the pan to form the ball. If not , you’ll have two halves. There are holes in the top of the ball pan and where a little excess batter will come out. This is good, that means that they have formed balls. I baked mine at 325 for 17 minutes, came out perfect!
Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. They came out very easily.
Have fun dipping in your favorite chocolate and shaking your colorful sprinkle. I love the peppermint ones!
We ended up making 60 cake pops with our 1 cake box batter.
If you’d like the cake pop pan, here it is on Amazon. I got mine at TJ Maxx, but did not see them there after Christmas. I only paid $1 less than on Amazon for mine. You can get free shipping with your Prime or Super saver shipping.
I’m a wife, a mommy to four children and a lover of life. I enjoy sketching and painting, cooking gourmet meals, playing games and finding great deals. I love to travel, write and take photos. I live in NH and my favorite season is fall. Though sometimes I may get into that rut of life and complain, I do know how blessed I am and thank the Good Lord for all that I have been given; from the numerous amounts of laundry I have to do, to my family who wear it all!
Looks delicious. I do lots of shopping at Amazon and may buy this but…………..I need to find a healthy way to make cake pops. Any ideas?
I saw you on WMUR this week. I love your idea about putting money away every day in a piggy bank and will be starting today. Do you have a post on your blog that explains this more?
Thank you.

Hi Mary, I do have one idea for the cake pops, I want to use it to make Jello balls. The hole at the top, I think would work with a syringe. My kids make jello jigglers, now we can make jello balls.
