Great product and it works. Personally I never use the recipes included because they are always American and don`t quite work with me, instead I use a basic sponge mix. Firstly as with my other silicone moulds I grease then flour (works every time). For this mould I made a 6oz mix of sr flour, c. sugar. margarine (never butter) and 3 free range eggs. There was more than I needed but it didn`t go to waste I made cupcakes with the remainder although I`m sure you could get away with a 4oz mix instead. 3/4 fill the bottom mould and then put the top mould on (the one with the holes in it), I used gas 4 for about 18minutes but that depends on your oven. Make sure you place the mould on a baking tray to keep it level.When pops are ready leave them on your work surface to go completely cold otherwise they tend to break in half because they are too hot. When cold gently lift the top mould off and the rest of the balls should just pop out quite easily.To decorate the pops I use cake melts which are made for this job of icing as it doesn`t slip off the round balls like ordinary icing would do, or if you used melted chocolate bars trust me neither work. The cheapest place I have found so far for the cake/candy melts is Hobbycraft £2.99 for a 12oz bag. You can buy it in various colours and flavours. All you do is put the cake/candy melts in a bowl and let it melt over a pan of hot water.When you insert the lolly sticks into the cake balls you need to "glue" them in place so they don`t fall off. For this all you do is insert about an inch of the lolly stick into the cake melt then push it gently into the cake ball. Then leave them to set for about 15 minutes. I stick mine in a thick piece of polystyrene or you could use a piece of oasis. When they are set you can begin dipping each cake into your cake melt carefully coating it fully, when coated gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to remove excess icing. Then decorate as you wish either with sprinkles or chopped nuts, its up to you. I made some recently with pink icing and placed a wafer butterfly on each one, I have also used wafer daisies. Just have fun.I can highly recommend these, hope all you home bakers give them a try instead of making them with left over cake and mixing them up with some sort of frosting or buttercream, baking them from scratch is so much better.Give them a go, happy baking AnneUPDATE 10 SEPTEMBERI`ve been trying different things in this pop mould and 1 of them is ice cream. I let any flavour icecream soften so I can use a scoop to get a good half round ball and place 1 in the bottom of the mould and 1 in the top. I then quickly put the top on like when I`m baking and gently press each mould so that it makes contact with the 1 underneath. They go back in freezer to re-harden. When you take them back out and remove the top of the mould you should have a round ball. Again I go through the process of sticking a lolly stick in them as above but this time I use a supermarkets own brand (but that`s up to you) I leave them in the bottom mould and replace them back in the freezer. I melt my chocolate and let it cool down as much as I can without it setting again and then 1 at a time I dip an icecream ball into it. I just let it set as it is but you could coat in sprinkles (again up to you), I do them 1 at a time and stick each 1 as its done back in the freezer, For this I have a cakepop stand that I bought. They are delicious, you can serve them up as a dessert just remove the sticks before serving on a plate. I make them using milk, dark and white chocolate not mixed together but individually. I`ve also coloured some regal-ice green cut out holly leaves and made small red holly berries and put them on top of the "icecream bombs" as we now call them and dusted them with icing sugar. They look amazing. Or just leave them on the sticks and serve, this can be messy as they melt rather quickly. You could also cut out with a wavy cutter circles of fondant again put on top of the pops and decorate with the holly leaves and they look like christmas puddings.Give them a goAnneUpdated 20 SeptemberJust made a caterpillar cake using 8 pops covered individually in chocolate then "glued" together with a dab more chocolate, I used smarties for the eyes, I also cut out fondant legs, 2 for each pop and again stuck on with chocolate. He looks good. I`ve also made a christmas tree using the pops and stacked it up like you would do with profiteroles then sprinkled with gold edible glitter. Theres so much you can do with this cake pop mould.Go on have some funAnne

Nice heavy mould very easy to use.Personally I like the below recipe as this gives a crisp outside and soft center that keeps for up to 7 days.Vanilla popsI used Fry Light to grease the pods before putting in the mixture. This is a lot cheaper than the "cake release" spray that you can buy and works just as well.The recipe I used is the following, easy to make and very tasty - 125 grams self-raising flour125 grams caster sugar125 grams unsalted butter soft2 medium eggs½ teaspoon(s) vanilla extractMethodPut all ingredients into a mixer and cream together until well combined and pale in colour. Use a teaspoon and fill each pod with mixture so that each pod is full and a little domed.Put the top on the maker and cook at 190 for around 15-20 minutes. Push a cake tester through the holes to ensure they are cooked. Leave to cool and then pop out of the mould!ToppingCaster sugar and a little water to cover the top of the lolipop then hundreds and thousands or powdered hot chocolate mix works like a dream.TipDip the top of the lolipop stick in the icing sugar and water mix before pushing it into the top so when it drys it will hold the top on firmly

I bought this three times. Yes three. I love these moulds. I've done cake pops using the traditional way and this way and taste-wise I prefer the ones made with the moulds because it tastes fresher and lighter and not as sweet. The traditional cake pop in my opinion is way sweeter because you ix the crumbled cake with frosting, roll into balls then later dip them in chocolate or candy melts. Using these moulds skips a step because after you put them on the sticks you then dip them in the chocolate or candy melts. There's an excellent review by a lady called Anne who really goes into great details including a couple of recipes. Filling the moulds to get a perfectly round cake pop is a bit hit or miss.you need to have the amount of baking powder into account and also the heat so do a couple of practice runs first! Also I would recommend buying two so when you take out the first 20 hole mould you can pop the ext one in. I use butter and flour to grease with, nothing fancy. A quick note, maybe its just my experience but when I used this in my mums gas oven they all stuck whereas when I used my normal fan assisted oven they were fine.

I bought this item as I was unable to get one of the electric makers from Ebay or Lakeland as they are constantly out of stock. After reading other peoples reviews I was unsure whether this would be a good choice but after trying it I am sold, it is brilliant!!In answer to some peoples problems:I used Fry Light to grease the pods before putting in the mixture. This is a lot cheaper than the "cake release" spray that you can buy and works just as well.The recipe I used is the following, easy to make and very tasty - 125 grams self-raising flour125 grams caster sugar125 grams unsalted butter soft2 medium eggs½ teaspoon(s) vanilla extractPut all ingredients into a mixer and cream together until well combined and pale in colour.Use a teaspoon and fill each pod with mixture so that each pod is full and a little domed. Put the top on the maker and cook at gas mark 5 for around 15-20 minutes. Push a cake tester through the holes to ensure they are cooked. Leave to cool and then pop out of the mould!

i bought this item and had to try it straight away.i used a 4oz mix of sr flour, butter caster sugar and 3 free range eggs. There was more than enough mixture i made 6 cupcakes with remaining batter.I greased the mould and filled each hole 3/4 full, baked for 18-20 minutes on 180C.I left the mould to cool completely before removing the top mould. The cakes came out PERFECT!I would recommend anyone to make these from scratch as you get a nice light and fluffy cake pop. I found when i made cake pops from crumbled cake and frosting that the cake pops were very heavy.I used half a bag of candy melts (get these cheap from Hobby Craft in different colours and flavours)for the topping and chocolate sprinkles/chocolate balls to decorate!I would recommend everyone to try this. I'll be trying out new decoration ideas for Halloween & Christmas (christmas puds):-) thanks Nic

I used the 6 egg mix suggested by reviewers but find I have a lot left over. And I've used it twice (with my one batch of 6-egg mix) but have found that the 6 pops in the middle aren't cooked while the 14 around the outside come out perfect. And since you have to wait for the whole lot to cool down before removing, you can't pop them back in the oven. Also, I had to play around with the amount of batter in each mould since 1/3 full didn't give me full round cake pops, and 1/2 full didn't either. I filled them to the top of the bottom mould and then put the top on (and used 'Bake Easy' by Wilton for easier release - but will probably find a cheaper version!) but as I've said,the middle 6 weren't cooked through and were smooshed, not round. So I only got 14 out of the 20. Worth taking into consideration when pricing for your customers if you're a professional baker.

Excellent. I used a box cake mix instead of the recipe provided, worked perfectly. When I filled them with batter 2/3 to 4/5 full as recommended, they didn't rise enough to fill the top compartment. The next time I filled them as much as possible, so more than full and after baking them most of them had overflowed, without escaping the casings to dirty the oven though. Probably level full is perfect. In any case, I just trimmed the excess with a knife and they were just fine.Will buy 2 more so that I can bake at the same time, you need to let them cool in the case for 30min after removing from the oven. I'd say a box of Betty Crocker makes about 3 batches. I made 2 and had batter left over.Also I forgot to oil them, but found it wasn't necessary.

Easy to clean, much easier and less sickly than the traditional cake-pop (crumbs and buttercream) method. The instructions needed tweaking, I had to put more mixture into each hole to get a full sphere, and it doesn't quite stay together when baking, rising mixture forcing the top up and allowing cake to get between the mould parts. That said, it pulls off easily, leaving roundish pops ready to decorate. My (much) younger cousin and her party guests, old and young, were delighted with the results, as attested by the fact they disappeared in record time and requests were made for more for the next party,as well as requests for trays to use themselves when I told them how inexpensive they were compared to other places.

I was reluctant to purchase this purely because I've never baked with silicone before but I took the chance and I'm glad I did!I made four batches and I didn't even wash the mould between each use. Best of all there was no need for oiling or buttering before use. Even better, the cakes popped out with no tugging whatsoever.I found 18 minutes on gas mark 4 was perfect for each batch. It stated to fill each hole 3/4 but I filled to the top and had no spillage just perfectly formed shapes.Let them cool and then dip them into some melted chocolate, then sprinkle with whatever fun stuff you like! Set in the fridge for ten minutes and voila! Kids were happy, and so was dad - he ate the most ?

Made my first batch of cake pops a couple of weeks ago and the came out perfectly! I followed the recipe in Anne's review and greased (I used 1 cal spray oil to grease) and floured the tray and the pops came out perfectly. Filled the bottom tray a little full on some of the pops so there was a little trimming to do around the centre on some of them but 90% were beautiful round cake balls. Had some problems with icing them but I think with some practice it will come together! The mould was quite easy to wash, I put it in the dishwasher and it came out mostly clean (better than other silicone bake ware I have used). I would guess it could be a bit of a nightmare to wash by hand though!

I had been looking for a solution to making round ganache style truffles, Whilst this is not the purpose it was advertised for it did work to a certain extent. The ganache itself stuck to the insides, but when I tried again, and using a tray spray firstly then sprinkles or various types, added the ganache, sandwiched both sides together and chilled overnight, it did exactly what I was looking for it to do. They came away easily and well formed.The tray itself I believe was designed to make lollypops. The only part of this I didn't do was add lollypop sticks, but I see no reason why this would't have worked. It just isn't the finished result I was looking for so omitted the sticks.

After trying to make cake pops the hard way, ie crumbling cake and mixingwith frosting and then bining the whole lot because the cake pops wouldnt stay on the sticks I came across this fantastic mould. It worked perfect first time, I used a mix of 4oz each of marg and sugar 3oz sr flour 1oz cocoa powder 2 eggs and a drop of milk and filled the mould with 1/2 tablespoon measure of mixture (I still had quite a bit of mixture left over)and baked for 13 minutes and they rose and cooked perfectly.The cake balls were lovely and soft and moist, now just need to practice more with the chocolate dipping. I highly recommend this product makes the job so easy.

This product works perfectly. I wanted something to amuse my grand daughters (8 & 7) when they stay the night next week and though I'd try the pops out beforehand. I used a half quantity mix (63g flour etc) and it made 14 perfect little cake pops. I decided to experiment with simple chocolate decorations and the result was judged 'repeat as often as you want' by my 28 year old son!I was going to get the girls to make 10 pops each in the one mould but, after my success, I have decided that a full 20 each would be better and am about to buy a second mould.A great invention that I would recommend to anyone. Very good value for money as well.

Had this for about a year now, and used it a dozen times. Its so easy to use, and easy to clean after. I followed the reviews on here, and my cake pops have always come out brilliantly!Occasionally, one or two will have a bit of a rim around them, or be smaller than the others, but they all look great when covered in chocolate and sprinkles!!!! I usually put my filled cake pop mould on a baking tray, and weigh it down with a loaf tin/spare tray, and I've never had a problem with the top popping off (as others have mentioned).So happy I bought it. Everyone always asks me to bring cake pops to parties now!!

I bought this to store in the freezer my homemade baby food for a weaning 6 months old baby. I liked it because it has a lid (top part to cover the food in the freezer which a ice cubes mould doesn't have). Secondly babies eat so little at the beginning of weaning and grow to eat so much more in the space of 2 months, that buying a proper baby oriented product would have been a waste. Now that baby eats lots, I can use this silicon mould just for cake pops! I tried it for that and it was great! Just remember not to overfill the bottom hole so the cake pops can grow nicely into the top holes.
