Babycakes 3-in-1 Removable Plate Treat Maker - Baking Gadgets for Cake Pops, Cupcakes & Donuts - Mini Kitchen Appliance & Baking Tool - Gift for Bakers - Includes Non-Stick Baking Plates

My girls and I have made many batches of cake pops with this maker. Everything turns out great, but you should watch some YouTube videos for tips on how to use this the best way.In our experience, you have to work fast. This maker bakes very quickly, so we have to drop batter fast and don't always fill all the slots before we close it to finish the bake process. We lay a towel down and flip the maker over so the top of the pops look as done as the bottom, sort of the way a waffle maker is flipped to coat both sides of the cast iron evenly. Some people may not care about this, but we don't like frosting so the visuals matter more.I bought this model mostly because the heating plates can be popped out for cleaning, and I'm glad I did. There is always batter dropped between openings or overflow from slots filled too much, and I wouldn't be able to clean them thoroughly if they were attached to the heating element and cord. We haven't tried the donut maker yet, but the corn bread muffins turned out adorably!One YouTuber had the idea to drop miniature Snickers and other candy slices into the middle of her cake pops. We tried this and the pops go from "cool" to "amazing", for something worthy of bringing to parties.My 13 year old can operate this safely on her own, with only minor mishaps due to her own carelessness.Finally a gadget that doesn't just take up space and get dusty!

I absolutely love this thing. It heats up in no time. It cooks brownies, cake mix even pancake mix in a cinch. The only issue is it should have a timer. You really have to stand near or set a manual timer. Once you get the hang of it, they cook up crispy on the edges and soft and cakey all around. The size produced is poppable. They are so fun & easy. If you overfill, you get the crispy oh so good edges. Just peel away & you're left with perfect round cake pop goodness. It makes preparing them easy as well as good. I accidentally left a batch on too long as I was icing a previous batch and they didn't burn just hot a darker brown. I love, love, love this thing. The balls produced are poppable, not your standard rolled cake pops. I just placed 3 on a stick & they were perfect. Will update with pics seeing they ate all of them at the party before I could get an image.

For those with limited kitchen storage space, this multi-tasker appliance earns its shelf space. Mine, however spends a fair amount of time off the shelf and on the counter, treating my family to doughnuts, cupcakes and muffins. I haven’t used the cake pop inserts yet but plan to use them for ebelskivers (filled pancake balls). I expect they will be as good as we have found the mini doughnuts and cupcakes to be. Making and eating mini treats has been fun and easy with this machine. I’ve enjoyed making them with my grandchildren. They love the cuteness and I appreciate the chance for a mini treat that is easy on my diet where I control the ingredients. Our favorite recipe is one for baked peanut butter doughnuts I found online.

I have wanted one of these pop makers for some time. This unit is nice because the various trays allow you to make pops, mini-donuts or mini-cupcakes. I now feel that it is more of an entertainment unit than a true baking appliance. It is labor intensive but does a good job. It is well made but the design is difficult for me. The cord is short as are most appliance cords these days and feeds from the left which is a bit awkward for me as a right handed person with a left side electrical outlet. Also when you raise the lid to get the finished pops, the hot steam is quite intense so be careful that you don't burn your arms. The top does get extremely hot on he outside and you have to use a potholder to access the unit as the lid is too hot to handle otherwise. I followed the instructions to lightly wipe the pop wells - both upper and lower - with vegetable oil to prevent sticking, although the trays are non-stick. I only had to wipe the wells once at the beginning while continuing to make another 6 dozen pops. The unit pre-heats quickly and bakes the pops very fast - about 4-5 minutes each batch. Because the trays are super hot, I use a wooden stir tick to pop the pops out of the well and then transfer them to a cooling surface with a pair of silicone tongs. Actually the pops are so small that they fell through my regular cooling tray so I used a sifter instead. The pops cool really quickly. I found that I should fill the wells about 3/4 full to make nice round pops. However, only the bottoms actually get that round appearance - the tops tend to have a pointy appearance that I wasn't expecting. Since this works so quickly, you have to stay on task until all your pops have come out of the unit - thus the labor intensive comment. However, you don't have to pre-heat the unit for each batch which is great. It is nice not to have the kitchen heating up from the big oven but I could have just put my regular pop pans in the oven and had it all over in one process. My experience with icing the pops is a work in process I'm afraid. You have to let the pops cool, then place them in the freezer for 15 minutes, heat your coating in the microwave and then dip the pops on a stick in the coating, only to put them back in the freezer again to set. I tried chocolate cake mix pops with German Chocolate frosting and it was a sticky mess. I'm sure practice will improve the outcome. If you do spill some of the batter on the plates while filling the wells, don't try to wipe it clean while the batter is still liquid, you can just scrape it off with a wooden stir stick after you harvest that round of pops from the wells. I plan to try to make cornbread pops to serve with chili. All in all, I enjoy the unit but processing batches of 12 pops at a time maybe a bit tedious. The donuts and cupcakes should be a lot easier to do as I won't have to chill them to insert pop sticks. I think this unit is a good buy as it offers the multiple uses at a good price.

This is a great product. I think it's a great value for your money. No matter what I've made it always turns out great and tastes terrific. So easy to use and clean we use it all the time. It's a little tricky to remove an interchange the part but once you get the hang of it it's not bad at all. Take care of the product and it doesn't become sticky with regular cleaning. The durability is great and we use this all the time. I have made the mini cupcakes and cake pops and donuts. My family absolutely loves them
