This indicates that the cooking plates
have reached the correct temperature for
cooking.
3. Lightly spray the cooking plates with a
cooking oil spray before use.
4. Place 2 teaspoons of cake pop mixture into
each of the cake pop holes.

plastic or wooden spatula. Never use a
sharp object or metal, as this will damage
the non-stick surface of the cooking plates.

Tips for Making Cake Pops
Cake pops are a great treat that can be
enjoyed by everyone. There are many
combinations of cake mix, icings and
decorations which are great for customising
your cake pops exactly how you like them.
Here are some steps to help you achieve
perfect cake pops every time.
• Make sure that you do not overfill the holes
in the cake pop maker as this will result in
excess mixture forming around the centre
of the cake pops.
• Once cooked, excess sponge around the
middle of the cake pop can be carefully
removed by hand or with a small knife.
• Make sure that your cooked cake pops
have cooled completely before you start to
decorate them.
• Before placing the cake pops onto sticks,
dip the top of the stick in a little melted
chocolate before pushing into the cake
pop. This will help secure the cake pop.
• Once cake pops have been placed onto
sticks, place into the fridge for 15-20
minutes. This will help set the chocolate
on the stick and make the cake pops more
stable for decorating.
• Chilling your cake pops before icing
with melted chocolate will also help the
chocolate icing to set quicker.
• If decorating using a butter cream style
icing, a warm flat knife will help give a
smoother finish to the icing.
• A palette knife is a great tool for applying
icing to cake pops. The wide flat edge
helps apply the icing evenly.
• To achieve a smooth finish when coating
in chocolate or glace icing, dip the entire
cake pop into the icing then slowly rotate
the cake pop. The excess icing will fall
from the cake pop leaving you with an even
coating.
• Avoid tapping the cake pop to remove
excess icing. This may cause your cake pop
to fall from the stick.
• To achieve the best finish with chocolate
icing, apply 2 coatings of icing letting the
chocolate set in-between.
• The easiest decoration for a cake pop is to
coat it in small sprinkles. Pour sprinkles
onto a small plate or bowl then roll the
iced cake pop lightly over the sprinkles
until completely covered.
• Stand decorated cake pops into a tall glass
to allow your icing to set.
• If you are not placing your cake pops onto
sticks, place onto greaseproof or baking
paper to set. This will make the cake pop
easy to remove once set.

Care and Cleaning
To clean your cake pop maker ensure that the
power has been switched off and the plug
removed from the power outlet. Allow the
product to cool down before cleaning.
Wipe the outside of your cake pop maker with
a slightly dampened cloth and wipe dry.
The cooking plates in the cake pop maker
are coated with a non-stick cooking surface,
therefore little cleaning is required. Simply
wipe cooking plates over with a damp cloth.
WARNING: Do not immerse the cake pop
maker in water or any other liquid or use
abrasive scouring pads, powders or cleaners.
Before next use; lightly grease the cooking
plates for easy removal of cake pops.
Handy Hints when using your
Snack Heroes™Cake Pop Maker
• Cooking times may vary depending on the
ingredients in the cake pop mixture.
• Always ensure that plates are greased
before cooking to make the removal of
cooked cake pops easy.
• Do not open the cake pop maker before
the recommended cooking time as this can
affect the cooking result of the cake pops.
• Not all 6 holes need to be filled when
using the cake pop maker.
• Packet cake mixes are suitable to use in
the cake pop maker. Make the cake mix
as instructed on the packet mix, then add
2 teaspoons of mixture to each cake pop
hole. Cook for 5 minutes per batch.
• Cooked cake pops can be placed onto
plastic lolly sticks or straws to serve.
• Cake pops can be frozen and thawed for
later use. Allow the cake pops to cool
completely then place into an airtight
container and freeze.

to make cupcakes.
