Babycakes Cake Pop Maker: CP-94LV - Purple

There is still some work to be done on this pop maker before I could rate it higher. George Foreman found out pretty early that people purchasing equipment such as his hamburger grill want pop off cooking surfaces so they can be washed in the dishwasher and the same applies here. This also cooks unevenly and you have to be sure to close it between removing the cooked pops and adding new batter because the top unit cools a bit and the cakes do not rise as much as they should. I do appreciate the uniform size of the bottom of the pops and it saves the expense of heating up your kitchen with your oven while baking. I found my pops cooked on the average of 6 minutes a dozen. The utensil that comes with this set is a wonderful tool for removing the pops without tearing them.

I really hesitated mainly because it just looked too easy. I imagined that the "pops" would be flat on one side and overdone on the other. Or just the opposite: too big for the cups and running between, making a mess.

I could not have been more wrong. My very first time, I filled the cups as instructed. I was just sure that the bottom would be overdone on the ones I filled first. The great news is that every one was perfectly round and done on all sides and in the middle! The couple that got a little too full, flattened out a nice little rim that was easy to knock off so they were perfectly round as well.

I have tried several cake mixes and even bread/muffin mixes that work just great. I really am surprised at what a good job the inexpensive little machine does.

Hint: you will need more than the one stand provided, so keep the packing styrofoam wedge from your next box and make holes with an ice pick. You'll have all the cake pop holders you need to dip and ice.

I think the product is a great idea...I could not get the pops to look like the picture shown of this product. I tried several cake mixes and different recipies from the Internet and could not get the cake to rise to a pop shape. It is in the closet in a plastic bag waiting for the next garage sale.

Instead of cake mix, I use brownie mix (I've tried a lot of different, and now just get whatever is on sale, they all work fine) One box of mix makes 4 dozen balls. Grandkids go nuts for them, co-workers go nuts for them, and I haven't had to worry about what to bring to a potluck since I baught this. Oh, I don't worry about sticks or frosting, just put them in a bowl and they will dissappear every time.

Want Babycakes Cake Pop Maker: CP-94LV - Purple Discount?

I was looking at purchasing something like this as a birthday present. However, I noticed that there are two model numbers for seemingly the same product. The price difference is also almost doubled (except that it is currently on sale). Model #CP-12 is regularly priced at $50 and the over 70 reviews give it an above average rating, though there were some major overheating issues. Model #CP-94LV is $100 with only 12 reviews, however most of those are excellent reviews.

I get that maybe the manufacturer updated the product and the number changed, updating it maybe have even cost a little bit more so I can also see the price jump. However, ANY other site that I search for the CP-94LV lists it at/around $30, so why is it supposed to be regularly priced at $100 on Amazon from Prestige Depot?? Not even the Babycakes website has the #CP-94LV model.

I'll just go to Target instead.

Edit: Just noticed that the CP-94LV model includes a filling injector, so I can see charging an extra $50 for that (NOT).
