The Hero that is the "Cake Pop" Maker

Our oven recently broke, and because we've also got a shower remodel in progress, we've decided to put off fixing/replacing. Not the element, already tried.

The crockpot/grill/instantpot have taken up the slack.

But we started missing baked goods and lamented having few choices while the oven was down.

Then I realized we had a Cake Pop maker from some gift exchange years ago, never used. I figured I'd give it a shot and it makes everything better (omitting the "pop" sticks, just making balls).

Cornbread: Better, crunchy crust all over, still delicate on the inside
Brownies: Best. Ever. Same recipe.
Chocolate Chip Cookies: A whole ball of buttery-crunch goodness.

Seriously, this thing makes almost any baked good better.

Even after we repair/fix the oven, we may keep this as our go-to, especially on cornbread, which we make once a week or so.
