It's the cake and frosting mixture. She just rolled it flat

This might be what she is looking for.![]()
Why oh Why did you post this??
The babycakes cake pop maker actually looks like a nice idea to me, it's basically cake on a stick (without having to mix in the frosting like traditional cake pops).
I made regular cake pops for a family gathering, and though they were adorable, I did not like how they tasted at all. Mixed up cake and frosting molded into a pop just wasn't appetizing for me, they made cute decorations, but no one in my family would eat them. I tried the cake and frosting separately and they were both good, but mixed up together I just couldn't stomach it. If it makes a difference I've tried the oreo truffles several times and those are not a big hit around here either, must be a texture thing since both the cake pops and oreo truffles are similar in texture.
I know people love the original cake pops, but to me it's a waste if no one eats them. I think the cake pop maker is a better idea for my family because it's all cake (no frosting) that I can dip and decorate just like regular cake pops and my family is more likely to enjoy them that way. I'm going to look for the babycakes cake pop maker at my local Kohl's and see if I can find it, it'd be great cause I have a $10 giftcard to use up anyway!
Why oh Why did you post this??I WANT IT!! But there's no way I'm spending $199 on it. I make so many oreo truffles for the holidays and it would save so much time (but not $199 worth of time).
Seriously though, thanks for posting this. I'm going to watch for them to come out on the market and perhaps they may be less expensive once the company is up and running.
SorryI really want one too but def couldn't see spending that much. I keep thinking hmmm, what could I use to get the same results without buying one. So far I haven't come up with anything so maybe one day they will be less, much less. I'm waiting for the $19.95 price range

I just bought the purple babycakes pop maker at Kohl's tonight!
It was $19.99, and with my 30% off coupon, I got it for $14! I had to get it! My DD wants a cake party for her birthday next month. This will be to cute. Can't wait to try it!
OH! I am going by Kohl's tomorrow! How did you find a 30% off coupon?

If you are a kohls charge member, they periodically send you % off coupons. Sometimes its 15%, sometimes its 20% and sometimes its 30%.

I tried mine out tonight...we like! I made the recipe for the chocolate cake that it came with and the vanilla glaze. My DS9 loves the cake doughnut holes from KK...so I figured this would be great for him. They came out light and fluffy like a piece of cake would be. I never liked the ones that were mixed with the frosting either because they were so heavy to me....I do know several people that like them, they just weren't for me.
So, anyway, my review, I LOVE IT! I will be using it to make treats for my DD11's bday party next weekend. It is so easy to use, just like a waffle iron. To me it is so worth the money because I can whip up a quick treat for the kids and it will cost next to nothing and won't heat up the whole kitchen.
So, here are my doughnut holes....
Can you use a regular cake mix?
Yes, I bought one today as well and experimented. I bought a marble cake mix and it worked fine!!! They cook so quickly. I'm trying itnout to try and make cake pops for DS's graduation open house. The problem I have is, I bought the meltable choc discs and tried to dip them, although they tasted great, I don't know how to get them to look smooth/presentable. Any suggestions?
