Fun to use, don't over fill! I put batter up to the inside line and that was about right. If you fill to the top of the cup it overflows out. I ran a toothpick carefully around the outside of the balls when they were still warm to clean edges before I took them out. You will need to experiment several times with cook time and filling amount!! I bought two and tried filling just the outside holes, they do cook faster then the inside holes.

This doesn't come with any instructions, so I did a test run before my son's birthday party, which is what I bought them for. It's tough to make perfectly round balls, but that's not the fault of the pans. You need to fill them ALMOST to the top but not quite. Too much and they spill out and make a mess, too little and they're flat on top. It takes some practice. One box of cake mix makes about 80 balls. Spray pans with baking spray on both sides before filling. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, leave in the pan to cool for 5 minutes and then pop them out. I then put them into cake pans with batter to make a polka dot cake!

Great, I just wish that it came with instructions. Thanks to previous reviews, however, I was able to make it mostly correct on my first try! Decorating them was were I went slightly wrong! I learned from those mistakes and now make them regularly as my go-to dessert. One standard box of cake mix is enough to make the two sets that I bought along with six cupcakes. Here are more suggestions:

-Liberally spray the holes with baking spray
-Fill each bottom hole just under the top, making sure not to overflow it. Then, put on the top tray. It would be a good idea to put a cookie sheet under, so that you have support when your removing from the oven.
-It took about 18 minutes to bake in an oven already heated to 350 degrees.
-I removed the top mold as soon as it came out of the oven, so that they didn't get soggy. I then waited about 10 minutes to take out the balls from the bottom mold. It was real easy to pop them out by giving them a little push from the bottom.
-I made the mistake of putting the stick in, then putting in the freezer with hopes that the stick would stay. They didn't! The correct method to make the stick stay is to dip it in melted chocolate first, then poke it into the cake ball.
-I also made the mistake of frosting them with canned frosting and a butter knife. It worked better, however, the next time, when I just dipped them in melted chocolate. Since melted chocolate hardens fast, I recommend having your work station prepared! I started by grabbing a cake pop with the stick already in it, dipping it in melted chocolate, then in a bowl of sprinkles, then on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. I also dip a few in crushed oreos instead of sprinkles, just for variety!

It was great making cake pops with this mold! It tasted great to have frosting on the outside of the cake pop, rather then in the mix as with other cake pop recipes. It's also easy to clean!

I bought these to make cake pops for my daughter's birthday party. The kit was great, and I followed the reviewers' suggestions to buy two. I'm glad I did because the kit itself comes with zero instructions.

I had some trouble trying to get a good round shape - first I under-filled and they were flat on one side. Then I over-filled and had to cut them, which was more or less fine. I would also add a suggestion to the discussion not to use store bought cake mix. The moist mixes end up with a sponge that is really too soft to dip, even after a hard freeze. I would suggest using a homemade cake with a more solid crumb when frozen, so that dipping into chocolate or frosting is easier without melting the cake.

I like the mold but it got stained a bit from the baking. Depends on the dough,you have to fill up the holes almost to the top or completely.On the first picture (left to right) was my first attempt where I filled completely and it ran out of the hole and almost to the top on the right side.On the second picture I used the different dough and filled completely and it turned very well.I am satisfied with the product.
