Takeaway: Cake pops the easy way, use a heavier batter.

This cake ball mold makes nicely round cake balls and comes with 20 short handled lollipop sticks to get you started. While it didn't come with a recipe, I did find one that worked well for me which I'll include below. There are 20 compartments arranged in 4 by 5 rows. The mold comes as two pieces: the bottom tray without the hole is where you’ll put the batter and the one with the holes goes on top. Make sure to press the rim of the bottom tray completely into the groove in the top tray to get a good seal.

Since the mold is made of silicone, it’s very soft and flexible. I found that transferring it to the oven was difficult with the batter inside, so I like to put this on a cookie sheet and work with it to make transferring easier. Note that the cookie sheet acts as a heat shield and you’ll need to add more bake time to your recipes to accommodate for this. If you want to use your own mix/recipe it may take a bit of experimenting to get the right consistency and density of the batter for a full rise but not so much that the batter runs all over inside the mold. The recipe I used has butter and this allowed the balls to release from the mold without greasing it first. It saves a step and a little time and it was also easier to clean.

Here’s the recipe I used:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 stick of butter (4 Tablespoons)
2/3 cup of self rising flour, (OR all purpose flour + 1 tsp of baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt)
3 medium eggs (2 if X-large or Jumbo eggs)

1. Cream the butter and sugar together.
2. Beat in the eggs, don’t worry if it looks a bit grainy.
3. Mix in the flour (or flour mixture) until smooth. Fill bottom tray and cover with top, pressing in the seal around the edge.
4. Bake at 350 F for 25 mins.
5. Allow to cool, dip in chocolate or frosting and serve.

The balls came out nearly spherical with a few that seeped out on the sides. If you fill the bottoms to just under capacity they may not push out as much, but the extra ""rings"" can be cut off with scissors as well. I've made cake balls by hand by crumbling the cake and rolling them by hand with icing, and I prefer using the mold because the final product is not as dense, are fluffy inside, and have a better cake to icing ratio. They make a nice treat and aren't hard to make at all.
