How to Make Cake Pops with the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker

The Babycakes Cake Pop Maker from Select Brands is designed to make perfect cake pops every time, without the hassle of baking and rolling by hand. Here’s how you can get started:

What You’ll Need:

• Babycakes Cake Pop Maker – Check out the product here.
• Cake mix (your favorite flavor) or a simple homemade cake batter.
• Treat sticks - available at craft stores and grocery stores. Also included in this Babycakes cake pop maker.
• Melting chocolate or candy coating.
• Sprinkles, colored sugar, or edible glitter for decoration.

Steps:

1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Use your favorite cake mix or homemade batter. Keep it simple with classic flavors like vanilla or chocolate, or get adventurous with flavors like red velvet or funfetti.
2. Preheat the Cake Pop Maker: Preheat the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker until the indicator light signals it’s ready.
3. Fill the Cavities: Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each cavity with the batter, but don’t overfill—about 2/3 full is perfect to allow the batter to rise into a nice round shape.
4. Bake: Close the lid and let the cake pops bake for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden and fully cooked.
5. Cool & Insert Sticks: Once baked, let the cake pops cool slightly, then insert the treat sticks. A fun tip is to dip the tip of the treat stick into icing before inserting it into the cake pop. This helps prevent the sticks from falling out when you dip cake pops in the coating.
6. Decorate: Melt your chocolate or candy coating and dip the cake pops. Let any excess drip off before adding sprinkles or decorations. Place them on a stand or foam block to dry and set.

Game Day Decorating Ideas

Now comes the fun part—decorating your cake pops to fit the game day theme! Here are some creative ideas to get you started:

Team Spirit Cake Pops

• Team Colors: Use candy melts or colored chocolate in your team’s colors. Add matching sprinkles or colored sugar for an extra pop.
• Team Logos: For the more artistically inclined, try using food-safe markers or edible images to add team logos or mascots to your cake pops.

Football Cake Pops

• Football Design: After dipping the cake pops in brown chocolate, use white icing to pipe on laces for a football-themed look.
• Yard Lines: For a fun display, arrange your cake pops on a green frosted surface and add white lines to mimic a football field. The cake pops can act as footballs moving down the field!

Referee Whistle Cake Pops

• Black and White: Use black and white candy melts to decorate your cake pops like referee whistles. This adds a quirky touch to your game day dessert table.

Touchdown Cake Pops

• End Zone Decor: Dip your cake pops in a variety of colors and place them in cupcake wrappers decorated like end zones for a playful twist.
