Hi,

My MIL gave purchased those cake pop pans from TV and gave them to me. I just tried it and they didn't come close to coming out round. I made cake batter per the directions on the box and filled the batter all the way to the top of the bottom cake pop pan. They came out flat and some had little dome shape on the top...not even close to the circle its supposed to be. Any advice as to what went wrong?

Thanks!

Welcome to Cheftalk,

 

I see its your first post. I have never used a machine , the one you are speaking about. The only thing I can think of is the temperature.

 

Making them by hand is a no fail way. (right expression in English ?) And there are two types of cake pops.

 

Hopefully someone who owns the pans you are talking about can help you. There is also the waffle like machine on the market.

 

Petals.

I always do it the old way.. Making the cake , mashing w  frosting then shaping them like small balls.. I am somewhat hestitant to use any pans.   I made these the old fashion way:

 

cakepops  the batter could be a factor.  If it is a somewhat thin batter,  it will spread like crazy...  at this point you just have to experiment..   I know they make it look so perfect and easy on TV...  good lucjk to you..

I make cakepops all the time, unfortunately I do it the old fashion way and not using a pan. Maybe try uploading a picture for people to see what you mean? I'm going to guess that maybe it has something to do with your oven temp. Try increasing it perhaps. Another idea is to check youtube, and see how other people with the pan are going about making them. Unfortunately sometimes gadgets like that don't always work. Best of luck to you though.
