I tried using a modified cake recipe in this thing and it was a disaster. I found that I got the best results by making a standard box of cake mix, but using half the recommended water (so if the box calls for 1 cup of water, I'd use 1/2 cup of water instead). This results in a denser cake pop that is easier to cover. I placed the batter in a 1 liter ziplock bag and chilled in the freezer for ten minutes to thicken the batter a bit. You can then cut the tip off a corner of the bag and use it to easily fill the reservoirs with batter (less mess!). I filled the tanks exactly halfway with the batter and the result was perfectly round cake balls. If you fill too much they will overflow, and if you don't fill enough you will end up with cake pops that are flat on one end. Be sure to apply cooking spray between batches, it makes it easier to peel off!
