I think I made it clear just how much I LOVE the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker, and today I’m going to share how I make Babycakes Donut Holes with the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker. Donut holes! At home! One of our favorite desserts is donut holes with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces. If you have never dipped a donut hole into some caramel sauce, trust me, do it. Oh my word, it’s GOOD.
To make donut holes, you really follow the same steps as you would follow to make cakepops. I tried a few recipes, but hands down the favorite recipes in our house were the ones that came from the Babycakes.

I also highly recommend their chocolate donut recipes.
I think they have done a great job of developing recipes that work extremely well with their products. Both my husband and daughter said they preferred these to Dunkin Donuts (fried) donut holes. You can whip these up quicker than you could run to Krispy Kreme, and because they are not fried, they really are a great choice if you are going to have donut holes.
Here’s a quick visual of how I created these donut holes…
I made a simple glaze for mine – powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla and enough milk to get it to the consistency that I wanted. I poured my glaze into a pan and then rolled my donut holes around in the glaze, then set them on a rack to let the extra drip off. I think adding some maple instead of vanilla would be a great alternative. You could also roll them around in powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar, whatever you like.
YUMMY!
Even better with some dipping sauces!

If I wanted to roll them in powdered sugar, should I put something on the donut holes first to make the powdered sugar stick?
Christi Johnstone says
Nope, the powdered sugar should stick, especially if they are still warm.
Julie says
I added 1/4 c. cocoa powder to the basic recipe.
Sheri says
Can you please post the recipe for the chocolate donut holes. They look delicious. Thanks!
estrela says
can’t wait to try these – did I miss the chocolate recipe?
Sharron says
Agreed. Loved the consistency of the batter, but the donut holes were very bland. I’d make them again, but would add mini cinnamon or choco chips. Thanks.
Sally says
What a great recipe.
Mine worked out perfectly and were delicious. I rolled the warm donut holes in cinnamon sugar = delicious and authentic texture and flavour.
This was a practice run for me before making them with my grandson.
Next time I’ll try the glaze.
Thank you so much for this simple, reliable recipe.
Rean says
My family loved them! Quick and easy go-to recipe!
Alex says
Hi, I am looking for the chocolate recipe. It only takes me to the babycakes website. Thanks!
Christi Johnstone says
It looks like they took the recipe down unfortunately. Since this was written ten years ago, I’m afraid I can’t begin to remember what it was.
Sharon says
I made these and are very simple, but lack flavor. Will try adding some flavoring next time. Other than flavor they are great.

My daughter wanted cake pops for her birthday and I did it the hard way with a pan in the oven. Then the men in the house were looking for dough nut holes and I found this. Excellent, easy recipe. The texture is great. This is definitely going into my recipe box.
