do you just fill one half of the mold? also, can someone provide a typical recipe for a cake pop. thanks!

Yes! The cake mix or muffin mix will expand and fill the top half. The holes in the top are for overflow. Any of your favorites will work!
1557323
Yes you fill the side with no hole and then fit the side with the hole on the top of the side with batter. It kind of snaps in place like loose Tupperware. The directions say any cake box recipe would work but I only bake from scratch. I've only tried them out twice. Even though my brownie experiment didn't work well; my cake recipe rose perfectly and made great round pops. Good luck!

I only filled the side that does not have the wholes. As for a recipe if you send me an email to mrsbuttercupskitchen@gmail.com I will email one over to you

Look up "Cake Pops using Sweetly Does It Cake Pop Mould" by KitchenCraftTv on YouTube. They use a very similar cake pop mold and it's very useful. The video is only 1:48 long so it doesn't take up too much of your time. Hope this helps!

Hi - it is a little difficult. We need to run the pop under some hot water for a few seconds or so in order to pull the pop out of the silicone mold. Very young children would need help - maybe 0-6 yrs. just for the fact that you need a little strength to pull off the mold.

I find that when I get ones that are stubborn to come out of the mold, I just stick it under some running warm water, and it melts enough to free it from the mold. If you're pulling on the stick and the whole stick is coming out and leaving the ice pop behind, then yes you either didn't fill it up enough (not enough pop for the stick to 'grab on' to) or they just aren't frozen enough.

The finished Popsicle is perfection. It is 3 7/8" to the very top by 7/8" wide. I made chocolate/hot chili Popsicles and strawberry basil Popsicles last summer when friends came into town and they were perfect. You can buy bags at the grocery store for cake pops. Those bags are a little big for cake pops, but perfect or the Popsicles when you want to make more than you can store in the mold. You won't be disappointed.

You use chocolate (candy melts). Fill one set of shells with melted chocolate & let them freeze/harden, take them out of the mold, fill another set of shells with melted chocolate then place the flat end of the hard shells you made earlier on top of the fresh/melted shells. Freeze until they are hard & pop them out. If that doesn't work... make two sets of shells & simply "glue" them together with melted chocolate. When they are done you can also brush on some pearl dust to give them shine or mix white & dark chocolate together if you want the brown/white swirled look. Very easy to do.

Hello! You could use cake batter in the funnel, however the hole is very small and it would be a very very slow pour as batter is thicker then the intended use of melted chocolate. Hope that helps.

Actually everything I make usually has more of a runny consistency as with thicker things - find there are too many bubbles in the popsicle. When I did try something thicker, I scooped it with a spoon and kept tapping the bottom of the mold against the counter to flatten it out.

I haven't tried but I'm wondering when you say gelatin pop, are you not planning on freezing it solid? I think you'd have a hard time extracting them with the pop not getting messed up other the stick coming out. The molds are can be a little stiff when cold. Never a problem for a solid pop but could be with a gelatin pop.

When using the mold, make sure that the mold is filled with fondant completely. Trim away any fondant outside the mold wait a few minutes then carefully release it from the mold. I didn't have any problems.

I used two boxes of cake mix and it didn't fill the cake pan all the way up. Like with any cake pan, but especially this one since it's plastic and moves a bit more, you have to be careful after baking it so that the cake doesn't get a big crack in it after you take it out of the pan. The only other suggestion I would have is to make sure when you pour it that no air bubbles get into the tiny parts of the motorcycle. I had a couple spots that looked like an air bubble may have messed it up.

When I did it I poured my chocolate into each of the molds and let it set. After it was firmly set, I popped them out of the mold. Then I warmed up a small skillet and carefully held the chocolate with the flat side out and touched it to the pan just long enough to get the chocolate melted enough I could then place another chocolate shell on it to make it fully 3D

I cooked the cake on its side.. There is one side of the pan that looks like a base with several prongs. I remember not filling it past the bottom side, it should rise to fit the whole pan. It came out nicely.

No. Did it say they were included?? I just looked up recipes and best practices on Yahoo. There seems to be so many different ways to make cake pops. Ours came out great using the information I found.

Yes, that's what I used. I added food coloring also. I had the best luck using a double boiler with the candy melts. The texture was more consistent & flowed into the molds. Make sure the molds are thoroughly cooled before trying to remove candy from molds. Have fun!!

I have only used it on a cake but I think it would be easy to press into molds as it is quite easy to work with and not hard.... worth a try I would say... it is delicious.

You can use regular cake mix. We bought the cake pop maker for my teenage daughter and she always uses regular cake mix.

You lie the baking form down on the side which has little stilts on it and fill just that part of the mold. The cake mixture will rise to fill out the full mold. Make sure you fill every part of that mold, including the ears. Use the recipe that is included with the cake mold and you should be fine. It is basically a pound cake recipe.
