- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2010First of all I love having my recipes in a book - even though the idea for Cake Pops and some of the designs are on her web site - I love the feel of a book, the safety in knowing that the book is there for me - and not "where did I put that recipe?"
I loved this book because it is very detailed. I loved the step by step pictures in the front and the actual photograph of every pop. Not only are there cake pops for almost every occasion - but this book just screams be creative! Anything is possible. I also love that the book lies flat no pages flipping all over when you are trying to copy a design.
Someone else wrote a review about this book making a great gift - or a part of a gift basket-- I couldn't agree more - make a gift basket - with the sticks, candy melts, a cake mix, frosting, sprinkles, the cutters, some ribbon - everything you need - what a cool gift for a wedding, a baker, or - this would be great at the Christmas holiday raffles! I'm doing that - I'll be a hit -- I'll give make a batch of Cake Pops to put in front of the basket and if you buy a ticket - you get a pop! (Sorry this is unrelated to the review - but such a great idea - I had to talk about it).
I'm looking forward to Cake Pops, The Sequel. Also a note, Bakerella is featured in the Betty Crocker Fall Baking magazine as well -- it's Bakerella fever!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2010I had my first cake pop about a year ago at work. I wanted more but when I found out how much the person was charging for them, I decided no. Forward to January 2010 - my niece was getting married and I was helping host her bridal shower. She wanted Red Velvet mini cupcakes...and do you think I could find a baker that did mini cupcakes? Nope! Then I remembered the cake pops...and the price, so I googled "cake pops" and somehow came upon Bakerella's blog and was in cake pop heaven!! Needless to say, the pops that I made for the shower were a hit, and I had all kinds of requests for more pops and people wanted to pay me to make them! If I do charge anyone, I pretty much just charge to cover my expenses (not much!), but mostly I just make them and share them. Bakerella's book is so inspriational - I love her creative ideas.
Don't skip over the tips she lists throughout the book either - they will give you all the hints to make cake pops successfully. I have made the baby chicks and the Easter bunny cake pops. I have also made dice shaped ones for my Bunco girls (that one was my idea).
Even though I already make cake pops, the book is great for her ideas. They are just too cute. The photography is a delight as well. I can't wait to make more of her ideas and use them as a bouncing off point for my own. I know that I am going to gift this book a few times! Buy this book, make cake pops, and check out Bakerella's blog (there is so much more than just cake pops there!)
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2010I just found Bakerella's blog 2 months ago and it gave me a kick to get my creative side going.
I've tried making the cake pops before the book only to have my candy coating be too thick (even after I added oil).
Now with the book - she includes the secret ingredient to getting the candy melt consistency nice & smooth.
We made pops tonight with ages 4, 6, 9 and me and we posted a pic on this site. Had such fun and now we're left with a few pops.
My kids are not big fans of cupcakes with the huge heapings of super sweet frosting but these little cake pops are perfect for their consumption - and it helps that they are so cute. Rather than mixing the cake with frosting, I mix in room temperature cream cheese - 'cause I LOVE cream cheese and it's also not as sweet as frosting. Remember the candy melts are sweet too. You can also use Oreo crumbs instead of cake - it's a total winner if you are an oreo fan and there's no baking involved.
Find a cake decorating supply place near you and purchase good quality candy melts (Merckens). They're the same price as Wiltons. The Wiltons taste bland whereas you could snack on the Merckens ones.
I just received the Bakerella book 5 days ago and my kids and I have gone through it so many times already. They think I bought it for them. haha.
The photographs are beautiful and Bakerella makes those cake pops look perfect. The book lists the type of topping/sprinkle used which wasn't consistently available in the blog. Most everything in the book looks do-able for the a person with no cake decorating experience, the challenge is getting the right type of sprinkles.
I took off a point because so many of the cake pops were already in her blog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Baking
I bought this book to make the Owl Pops for a baby shower. We are not using the recipes per say, for the cake part, as I have bought a Baby Cakes Cake Pop maker, it makes doughnut holes....much easier, but we are using the decorating ideas. This next weekend we are making Blues Clues cake pops for my grandsons birthday, just changing around the puppy dog idea in the book to look like Blue. Cute and Fun baking. My grandson is excited to help decorate!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tolle Rezepte, riesen Repertoire, schöne Bilder und LECKER!
Ich habe das Buch auf Empfehlung einer Bloggerin gekauft und bin absolut begeistert. Die Rezepte sind einfach und vor allem schön nach Themen sortiert. Man braucht keine extravaganten Zutaten, man hat in der Regel das meiste zuhause.
Absolut empfehlenswert für aussergewöhnliche Geschenke oder essbare Dekorationen :)
- LizReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 19, 2011
5.0 out of 5 stars very cool little book
First off, I'm not sure why some people are lambasting this for not using home-made cake. Do you honestly buy a book like this for recipes? I could understand the annoyance if this book was for standard cakes or cupcakes, but these are neither, they're little novelties and as such I wouldn't expect a massive variety of recipes for it. In addition, if you are looking at this book I'd be willing to bet you have a pretty good understanding of baking, so knocking up your own cake shouldn't be an issue, especially since it states very clearly what size cake and what weight of frosting is required.
It is explained immediately that the author prefers the shop-bought mixes and frostings as a) they give standard quantities and b) it means she can get to her favourite bit, the designing, more quickly. Personally I don't like mixes so I would use my own recipes, although she does give one or two basic ones at the back of the book.
The designs themselves are very cute, and they are all explained in great detail. Despite the fact they look complex, I think these could be accomplished by anyone so please don't be put off if you're new to baking and decorating. The steps are explained from scratch on each design so you don't need to look back to the beginning for the basics which is a nice touch. I also really like the ideas she has for using sweeties like candy necklaces (robot eyes) and mini marshmallows (popcorn) - that really got my imagination running with ideas for how to create other things:)
Candy melts are available over here online - check the Wilton website for UK suppliers. Googling also brings up a few results. Failing that, use white chocolate (if you're confident with working with chocolate), or if you're not then just use white chocolate flavoured cake covering. Both can be coloured, although you must make sure you don't use water based colourings. Again, candy/chocolate colourings can be bought online or in cake decoration shops. Ebay now has a massive selection of things for the cake pop market too, and is normally a good source for the odd bits of American candy that you can't find here, such as candy corn (although I did think some of them looked very similar to our coke bottles/milkshake bottle sweets).
My one complaint, and it's a small one, is that the spiral binding is one of those that doesn't flow very well. It's only a minor niggle though and nothing that reflects poorly on the content, so this is still a five star book imo.
