This may seem like a dumb question, but when using a cake pop maker or pan, do the balls turn out okay since they are not mixed with frosting?

they turn out just fine. It's just like baking a cake, you don't mix frosting in a cake.

I bought it for my sister for Christmas. She said they tasted really good like regular cake

Yes, the pan is non-stick (Fluorine Resin coating, i.e. Teflon), however I would suggest putting a little oil in the pan before adding the batter to ease turning the balls.

If I follow the instructions on the cake mix box, and i pre-heat oven, I dont have any problems. I also do NOT open the oven during the baking progress. Last large size (regular size) AF cake I made about 3 weeks ago came out perfect.

I used a regular cake mix. no problem. baking time will take some adjustment.

Ours DID come with the melting pot, although we haven't used it yet! I normally just use the microwave for the candy melts, but I think the pot would come in handy if I were doing a large batch of cake pops.I purchased the cake pop maker in mid-Feb.

Yes, but really search and read up on instructions for baking. The pan comes with nothing! I stacked the ball cake on top of an 8 or 9 inch round for the bigger belly. (I used a large round cookie cutter as the "stabilizer" in the oven.) I did a practice cake and was really glad I did. It was a big hit, by the way!

Well, my sister is the one that bakes. She makes her cakes in a regular house oven and they are perfect. But she also uses some ingredients and other methods with this pans that she won't share. Sorry if it wasnt much help.

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

I used them as favors for my birthday. They make a baking tin that fits the shape so each one had 2 layers of frosting and cake. Most people end up pushing the cake up and eating it with their hands haha, but they are definitely fun! I have a picture of the finished product if you'd like it!

I agree with Mr. Watts I don't know what cake balls are. I can say it works very well with cookies. They come out on the thin side but very uniform. The scoop is approximately 1 tbsp if that helps you.

I have one that lays completely flat and another that the bottom is slightly rounded. The one with the rounded bottom will spin in a circle if I tap it but otherwise stays put. My cakes come out better (even and done in center) with them then with regular pans but I live high altitude region.

Yes you can very easily make a whole golf ball. It's been a while, but I think I poured the chocolate into the mold, but didn't fill at all the way up (almost all the way, maybe like 95%) and then put the first half on top. Worked well!

After the cake is frosted with the fondant (or buttercream) I have used them with both.If you use buttercream put tulle (veil material) on frosting first so buttercream doesnt stick to mat.

I just made a chocolate cake in mine using 1 box of cake mix, it came out great, but, I thinknext time I will use 2 boxes to make it higher. it is a deep pan.

I agree with the answer Lohmeyer posted. For cakes I would butter or spray the pans with pam or some oil spray before putting the batter in.

I have made cakes that don't fully fill the cake pan and they came out just fine.

They do come out with a small ring around each.I remove the ring with a small knife. Pops bake very quickly and are a bit on the small side, SSO too are the sticks.
