Today I took my first steps into the land of Cake Balls. For those who have been living under a rock, cake balls of amazing bites of round cake dipped in awesome sauce. I purchased the Babycakes Flip-Over Cake Pop Maker from Kohls today for $19.99. A bargain since it normally retails at $39.99!
My first reaction when I opened the box was amazement. The thing comes with the machine, two drying stands, a squeeze bottle, 3 dozen sticks, a fork to lift the balls from the machine, a drip pan and an instruction booklet. Set up was super easy! Just plug into any outlet on a level surface and let it heat up for a couple minutes. The power light goes off when it's ready. Very similar to a waffle iron.
The instruction booklet was pretty straight forward, but the reason I loved it so much was it gives you recipes for cake, donut holes, and frosting! Literally everything you need to get started is in this box!
I used their vanilla cake mix since I had everything on hand for it. Very simple (flour, sugar, eggs,...ya know, normal cake stuff). After mixing, I poured it into the squeeze bottle. This could be pretty messy if you aren't paying attention but the squeeze bottle is pretty big so you shouldn't have any problems. After the mix is in the bottle, you just squeeze it into the machine. Fill the holes up to the top, put the lid down and flip it. They only take 2:30 minutes!! Warning: cake that is the fast and delicious is bound to cause excessive weight gain...but it's so worth it.
After 2 minutes, just pop them out with the fork-thing provided. I put them in the drying stands to let them cool. And I can't lie...this is as far as I got. I just started eating them from here...without icing. They're that good.
But for those of you who are patient enough, you just shove a stick in them and dip them in whatever icing/glaze you've prepared. There are slots on the drying racks to put the sticks in so you won't need a foam block, unless you've made more than 24.
Overall, I am completely satisfied with my purchase! Tomorrow, I'll experiment in pancake sausage balls...I've got a hunch I can stuff batter and bake it with this thing. WE'LL FIND OUT! :D
