Brentwood Appliances TS-254 Cake Pop Maker, 12, Purple

This was so easy to use. It was not messy at alll. I used brownie mix. Preheat the item until green light came on. Used a tablespoon to fill the machine. A pastry bag would probably work better. I fill the machine so that each hole is filled to the top. Sprayed top and bottom with Pam cooking spray. Set my timer for 5 minutes and voila! It was so simple. The great thing is, you can remove the bites quickly, store them in a freezer bag, and do the sticks and chocolate later. I will definitely use this all the time. Hint, a fondue pot will work for dipping them in chocolate with no mess.

At first I tried the molds from Michael's and just threw those away. They didn't cook properly 🙄 but with this little guy it only took 5 minutes and they were perfect! I use the cake sticks to just roll them out of the machine. Without the lemon extract the vanilla cake pops are amazing 🤤🤤

Overall the product is good and performs as discribed. The only issues I had was the black nonstick coating had a few spots peeling off when I opened the package (not a huge deal it still worked), and when putting the cake batter in. By the time I got all the slots filled the first few I filled were already starting to cook which made them turn out misshapen. I ended up getting my husband to help me fill the holes so I could close the lid quicker. I’m sure if you use a piping bag or batter dispenser to quicken the process it wouldn’t be an issue. Having never done this before I was only equipped with some spoons. On the positive side they cook quick and are still moist and fluffy.

Very easy to use. There are two little quirks about this that don't keep us from using it or bring a star down, but are good to mention for others. Number 1, it's a little bit of a pain to clean because you can't take anything out to clean it, it's all one thing, so you have to just hand clean it and getting it into each and every divet is a little time-consuming. Not difficult, just time-consuming.Next are the lights. It says it'll turn green when it's ready to use, but the green light never lights up, there's some very low light that can be seen in the green light area, but it never actually lights up. The red light stays consistently on. But it's not a big deal, just wait 3 minutes for it to heat up and 4-6 minutes for it to cook and you're good.Outside of those two quirks, it's very easy to use! Put 1 tbsp of batter into each one and it comes out perfectly after about 4-6 minutes. It's so fun and easy to use!

easy to use

When you make the little balls they come out very small and they have a room to it besides that they're pretty good

Love it 😀

Before purchasing the machine to make cake pops, I did the research and many people wrote that they had The machine was not heating up properly. So I tried to make cake, pops twice, one time I did It was store-bought cake mix, and the second time I did the recipe from the instructions ( The recipe in the instruction Is not correct because it talks about milk and lemon juice, but when you combine both of them, you’re gonna receive curds). I think the recipes provided our trash. So both times I could not make around cake pops. It’s because the top portion of the machine was not heating up properly and the bottom was burning. I’m returning it. Do not recommend.
