​My daughter was given a cake pop pan for her birthday last year and we have had so much fun with it.  I don't always use the cake pop pan, sometimes I make cake pops by hand, like the hot air balloon cake pops.
Picture
​Sometimes, I like to bake my cake pops in the cake pop pan and sometimes I roll them by hand.  I recently ran across this recipe for a Polka Dot cake while I was doing some research for a first birthday cake.  Sounded like a match made in heaven to me, a first birthday party and a polka dot cake.

​Cake Balls
white cake mix 

I don't normally use cake mixes but I've found that they make much better cake pops than my homemade cake batters.  
​
Prepare cake mix as directed using whole eggs and substituting milk for water.

Divide batter between bowls.  I separated my batter into 7 bowls, measuring out a little more than a half cup of batter into each.

​Tint batter with food coloring.  I used Wilton color gels to make vibrant color.

​Spoon batter into the bottom of the greased cake pop pan.

Put lid on cake pop pan and place clips on sides.
Bake 13 minutes at 350.

​I ended up with some mini volcanoes they peeled right off of the pan.

Spoon batter on top of cake balls.
I baked 10 inch cakes and they baked for 40 minutes.

Cool in pan 10 minutes and then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

​You can barely see the colorful cake balls poking through the cake while it cooled.  I filled this particular cake with a whipped cream filling and frosted it with a swiss meringue buttercream.

​Decorate.
