How to Make Cake Pops with a Cake Pop Maker

Cake pops make it easy to serve a little bite of delicious cake in a portable and easy to eat fashion. Whether you are planning a bake sale, birthday party, or baby shower, cake pops make the perfect treat. They are cute, sweet and….not always easy to make from scratch, especially if you're a beginner! Making them can be a little labor-intensive, but there's an easier way.

In the following recipe, I'll teach you how to make cake pops with a cake pop maker.

These cake pops are less messy and a lot simpler to make because you make them without frosting inside. They are less dense than homemade cake pops, which means easier to coat and seal to lollipop sticks. Just follow the instructions below for tasty cake pops without the hassle.

Gather Items & Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, melted
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ½ cup milk
• Lollipop sticks
• Cake Pop Maker

Orange glaze:

• 1 ½ tbsp. orange juice
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Lightly oil the cooking plates and plug the cake pop maker in to heat it up. There should be an indicator light that notifies you when the device is ready.

Step #1. Mix Sugar & Butter

Combine the sugar with the melted butter.

Step #2. Add Eggs

Add the eggs and mix until smooth.

Step #3. Add the Flour & Powders

Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder.

Step #4. Add Milk

Add the milk and mix until smooth.

Step #5. Pipe the Batter into the Cake Pop Maker

Pour the batter into a piping bag and fill each cake pop cavity in the cake pop maker to just below the top (careful not to overfill).

Step #6. Bake for 4 to 5 Minutes

Close the lid and bake for 4 to 5 minutes (you can use a toothpick to check if it's ready). Remove the cake balls to a tray carefully, as the cake pop maker can become very hot to handle. I like to use a heat glove or spatula. When finished, unplug the unit and let it cool before wiping clean.

COOKING TIP: If there is excess cake on the cake balls (which is common), simply remove it with a small knife, once the cake pops have cooled.

Step #7. Make the Glaze

Mix the powdered sugar and the orange juice until smooth.

Step #8. Cool & Roll in Glaze

Let the cake pops cool and roll them in the orange glaze to cover the top. Let them dry before inserting the treat sticks or serving them directly.

Step #9. Serve & Enjoy!

You might have been wondering how to use a cake pop maker. Now you know how easy it can be! Want to make things even simpler? Try using a cake mix to make cake pops to cut the total time down.

If you want to add a little pop of fun to your cake pops, sprinkle some colored sugar or cute sprinkles onto the wet glaze, or dip them into chocolate. This will make them look extra festive for a holiday party, birthday celebration, or any other type of gathering!

To store your pops, place them in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature for about a week, about 2 weeks in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
