A POLKA DOT CAKE!

I usually don't want the latest in kitchen gadgets, but this year I told my husband I wanted a cake pop maker:
It's a small piece of equipment and I LOVE IT!
I mixed up a small cake mix to try it out:
And they came out PERFECT the first time:
And I even took this a step further.....
and decided to make a polka dot cake. I put the cake balls into cake batter:
During the baking, I pushed some deeper into the pan, so that the polka dots would be at different levels:
and it turned out well:
Next time I want to try a chocolate cake with white balls!
And it was served on really cute depression glass cake plates that I bought at the flea market last week for only $2.00!

    Looks delicious! I love the way you added the balls, the end result is so lovely! Did you use the cake balls from the first batch for the second cake? Thanks for your visit and your sweet words. Happy Sunday to you~Poppy

    Oh now I want a cake pop maker! I just went to an open house and she had a platter of cake pops for the kids. So adorable! Love the dish too! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    I saw that little machine and I wondered if it worked. I'm glad to see that it does. I love the idea of the polka dot cake. Chocolate and white would be great or you could color white mix any colors you wanted...green dots in a pink/red cake or yellow dots in a white cake. The possiblities are endless!

    I found your link at Coastal Charm and I bet this will be the next big thing on Pinterest...especially if you do other colors too! So cute for a little girl's birthday or a baby shower!
