Babycakes Cake Pop Maker With Share Bear

Babycakes Cake Pop Maker & Share Bear - I think it's no coincidence that Share Bare has cake pops emblazoned upon her chest

Babycakes is the preeminent purveyor of quirky confectionary creating contraptions, and the Babycakes cake pop maker is no exception.  The company certainly has a style all their own.  Some may call it “retro cool,”  others may say it looks like a Care Bear crapped on a George Foreman Grill.

Whatever you think of the style, you can’t argue with the results.  The reviews for the Babycakes Cake Pop machine are overwhelmingly positive.  The included recipes leave a bit to be desired, but you can find proper recipes all over the internet.  If you’re a real cake pop connoisseur, you’ll start experimenting and coming up with your own recipes anyway.

Easy to use, easy to clean.  There’s really nothing more you can ask for in a 1 task kitchen appliance.

“But the Babycake Cake Pop Maker Only Does 1 Thing – What’s the Point?”

Well it does that one thing, and it does it well.  It’s like a toaster, but a toaster can’t make balls of food that you can put on a stick.  Which brings me to the next point:

The Babycakes Cake Pop Maker Makes Food Balls

Cake Pops

MMmmmm Food Balls

Granted “food balls” isn’t a very marketable term, but it really describes what this little machine can do.  Sticking with confections; you can make donut holes, brownie pops, and pancake balls.  Let’s also not forget that these can all be filled with frosting, chocolate, peanut butter, and jelly just to name a few.  This adds a whole new dimension of deliciousness.

I don’t really see anything out there with people experimenting with non-confectionary foods like falafel, meatballs, hush puppies, or veggie balls, but you better believe it’s on my list of things to do.

If you want to make cake pops or food balls the quickest and easiest way possible, go grab a Babycakes Cake Pop Maker from Amazon.com.

Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine – Fun for Fatties Like Me

Thumbnail image for Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine – Fun for Fatties Like Me

There’s nothing like the taste of freshly made french vanilla ice cream. It’s one of the most basic but delicious deserts out there.  Having a soft serve ice cream machine allows me to create this concoction on command, along with many other flavors of ice cream and frozen yogurt.  It’s for this reason that I [...]

Pac-Man Oven Mitt

Pac Man Oven Mitt

I think it’s no coincidence that a game as awesome as Pac-Man and I were born within mere days of each other.
And finally, 30(ish) years later, someone has made a Pacman oven mitt commemorating this amazing game.

It’s about damned time.

3 Reasons To Get A Collapsible Water Bottle

Bottled water is expensive compared to that free stuff we get from the tap, not to mention many people don’t recycle their used water bottles.  Also, regular refillable water bottles are bulky even when they’re empty.  It’s for these reasons that I think a collapsible water bottle is a must have kitchen gadget. Fill Your [...]

My Beer Batter Recipe

I’ve discussed the best beer batter recipe I know of in my beer battered fish recipe, but I didn’t want anyone thinking it’s only a beer batter recipe for fish.  I have used this batter on fish, chicken, beef, broccoli, cauliflower, Twinkies, candy bars, and basically anything edible that I can get my hands on [...]

Beer Battered Fish Fry Recipe – Northeastern Style

beer battered fish fry recipe

As much as I love the Seattle area, and their fresh-from-the-ocean fish & chips, I find myself missing a proper northeastern style beer battered fish fry. I’m from upstate New York, and this is a staple of many restaurants there.  Unfortunately, fish fries are often limited to a Friday special, so I had to figure [...]

Max Burton Portable Induction Burner

Out of the choices available, I think the Max Burton Portable Induction Burner is the right one to go with.  It’s got great specs at a great price (under $100), and it gets great reviews. If you don’t know what induction cooking is, it’s this neat cooking method that uses a coil and magnetic induction [...]

Check Out The Induction Hot Plate

Induction cooking is the latest in nerdy kitchen gadgetry.  It’s nerdy because of the science behind it, but it’s also safer and more energy efficient than other cooking methods, which is why I think an induction hot plate is a must have kitchen gadget. Now, you can get an entire induction cooktop, but that’s quite [...]

Delonghi Dual Zone Deep Fryer – D24527DZ

There are some key aspects any home deep fryer needs to have, and the Delonghi Dual Zone Deep Fryer covers them all at a great price.  I love deep frying, have years of experience doing it, and quite frankly, I’m pretty sure I’ve perfected it.  With that said, the main qualities I’d look for in [...]

iSi Twist N’ Sparkle

The iSi Twist N’ Sparkle (or the iSi Twist and Sparkle for those of you who hate cutesy word shortening) is a great little kitchen gadget that allows you to make your own soda at home. There are three main reasons why I think this iSi CO2 Carbonator is better than other similar products on [...]

Drink Healthier With a Home Soda Maker

Let’s face it – soda is disgustingly unhealthy, but dangit if it isn’t delicious.  My conflicted feelings towards this bubbly beverage is why I think a home soda maker is a must have kitchen gadget. The number one reason for soda’s unfortunate but understandable reputation as a major contributor to American fatification is the dreaded [...]

Make Food Balls With A Cake Pop Maker

Any gadget that facilitates the shoving of cake into my face is a must have kitchen gadget in my opinion.  There is no easier way to get cake down the gullet than a bite sized cake ball.  Jam a stick in that cake ball, and you have yourself a cake pop. Cake pops sort of take [...]

Why I Love My Home Deep Fryer

All right, so it isn’t really the most gadgety of gadgets, but a home deep fryer really is a must have kitchen gadget.  I’ve had a countertop deep fryer for just about my entire adult life and I use it frequently.  If you haven’t had tater tots fresh from a boiling caldron of hot peanut oil, [...]
