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.

This is the 2nd copy of this book that I've purchased. The 1st one is mine. This copy is for my friend's daughter. She doesn't need too much to get started in her new married life but doesn't splurge much for herself. She got a full "kit" to help her start making cake pops. I tried to get her things that I use and may be harder for her to find. This book, a Wilton Chocolate Pro Electric Melting Pot , Gourmet Food Writer Edible Color Markers (10 color set) by AmeriColor , 2 chocolate molds to make the cupcake bites on pg 24, Wilton Mini Romantic Metal Cookie Cutter Set so she could make the cupcake pops on pg 18 and spring pops on pg 50 in the book, pop sticks and 1/2 dozen assorted sprinkles. Everything to get her started except cake mix, frosting and chocolate candy for coating the pops, because those are easy for her to get herself. She has many friends that have young kids like she has and this is something I know she would enjoy but may not have purchased all for herself.
There are some downsides for some of the decorations, add-ons are not easy to come by, and you must do a lot of "hunting and gathering" for the molds and edible markers. One crucial step is getting the cake to frosting ratio just right, otherwise you end up with a gloppy mess. She recommends 3/4 can of store bought, but 1/2 is close to making them easier to handle. Start with LESS, then add. If you use too much the rolled balls don't retain their shape long. And, make certain NOT to roll your cake balls with a heavy hand. The chocolate coating WILL crack! I am making the Frosty the Snowman pops for Christmas gifts. The only other downside is finding a way to transport these out of home more safely. You definitely need a lollipop stand of some sort, and those aren't easy to find either. Fortunately, I am good with wood, so I am going to get out to the garage to make my own. You will likely ruin your first try or two. Gets better with practice.
so i tried the pumpkin pops for a halloween party. i had nothing but difficulties with these. specifically, the problem being getting them to stay on the stick. no matter what, the cake balls just wanted to slide right through. the second problem was the candy melts never got thin enough to make a smooth dip. i tried the recommendations to fix this - but it really didn't work. in all i got 6 that stayed on the sticks. the rest i just made into a pumpkin patch, sans stick. i will try again.

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.
So if you're in the UK, you're probably better off buying a British book on cake pops.
other than this book being PRINTED WRONG.. it is a fantastic book and well worth every penny... just a shame it is printed back to front and upside down.. !!
