I wouldn't, but some silicone baking pans are out there. The pans make me crazy, personally, but someone must have liked them. Most of the time cake pops are made of a mix of cake and frosting after the cake is already baked. They're then dipped in a coating. I suppose one could bake the cake around a stick and then dip it.

If it's the right sort of silicone it certainly can be used in an oven.

I have some silicon molds that I use for casting "white" metal - that
has a pour temperature of 650°F. So, your oven likely won't hurt it.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Silicone Steamer Quiche
Categories: Vegetables, Cheese, Dairy, Mushrooms, Pork
Yield: 2 servings

2 lg Eggs
50 ml Milk or heavy cream
5 g Butter
Salt & pepper
Mixed shredded cheese
Spinach
1/2 sm Sweet onion; diced small
2 oz Shimeji mushrooms; sliced
4 sl Bacon; crisped, crumbles

Place the butter on top of the sliced onion. Chop the
remaining filling ingredients into bite-sized pieces.
Cover with a lid and microwave for 1.5 minutes at 500 W.

While waiting, Combine the egg, milk, salt, and pepper
into a bowl and mix together with a whisk.

Once the filling ingredients have finished microwaving,
season with salt and pepper.

Pour the egg mixture from Step 2 over the top.

Make sure everything is blended with the mixture.

Scatter the top with the shredded cheese and lightly
push into the egg mixture. Cover with the lid and
microwave at 500 W for 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 minutes, while
keeping an eye on it.

Once it is done, remove this quiche-like dish from the
Lekue.* Cook it until it reaches your preferred doneness.
Since it's a quiche, it's best to cook it until there is
no more egg mixture on the bottom.

Since it's basically a quiche, cut it into triangles and
enjoy with crusty toast.

If you microwave it completely, it will be a great main
dish for your bento.

If it advertises making cake with it, it should be fine. Silicone mats are frequently used to handle molten sugar (couple hundred øC) in candy-making and I've got a mat made of the same material for soldering work that's had molten solder splashed on it and a 350øC iron sit on it without burning.

Thanks!, I've seen some silicone Spoons and Spatulas in Store Displays
saying something about they could be used up to 450 F Degrees heat (iirc).

As soft and flimsy as this Ball Ice Cube Tray was I wondered if the Maker really meant using it in the Oven to bake Cake Pops.
That's why I asked about it in here.

If I want to know something about Cooking that isn't in any of the Cook
Books we have - I ask the COOKS. Thank You.

I never had heard of Cake Pops before.
Maybe I ought to have looked in one of those Cook Books in the kitchen to
see if there is a Recipe for Cake Pops in them before asking here.

You knew how to make them, so I suppose Betty Crocker would know also. (?)

I won't try putting Cake Mix in that Tray and putting it in the oven to bake.

Thanks Again.

Thanks!, As I wrote to others here, I won't try putting it in the oven.

As I learned from the Replies, it seems Cake Pops aren't made from Cake Mix, they're made from portions of a Cake after it has come out of the Oven.

Appreciate learning about how Silicone mats are used for Hot Stuff like
Sugar and Solder.

I haven't used a Soldering Iron (Pencil) for years and hadn't heard about
using a Silicone Mat on the workbench.

I've always used a square Hot Plate to set my Soldering Iron holder on.

The old Hot Plate I use is paper (or maybe abestos?) on the bottom and the
top side is covered with a piece of Metal.

Since Radio Shack closed I haven't used my Soldering Iron to make anything. Their (RS's) Catalogs that I used to get in the mail help me to learn about newer and different products that I might want to get from them.

There use to be a Wholesale Electronics Parts Store in the next town that I used to buy parts from.
I see they are listed in an old 2015-2016 Telephone Book, hope they still
are in business.

If they aren't I will look at Jamesco's or Digi-Key's web sites to see what
a Silicone Soldering Mat costs.

Thanks Again.

The recipes made Cake Pops by using store bought Donut Holes or by using
a freshly baked Cake.

So, if I want any Cake Pops I can make them without using the Tray.
The Balls my Tray makes are small, only 1-1/8 inches round.
The Cake Balls that I saw on the internet were much larger than what my
Tray could make.

That depends on the age of the book; they're a relatively recent

I wouldn't either, just in case.

Those do sound way too small. I"d make them by hand too, or at least with
a larger mold.

I've got a lot of "silly-putty" kitchen ware. Egg rings, spatulas,
Sil-Pat baking sheets, scrapers, etc. The silicone utensils work well
for use in teflon coated pans as they will not scratch the non-stick
coating. And they're easier to clean than their wooden equivalents.

Oh, and cake pops don't require baking in the oven to make the pops.
Most of the ones I have seen are about the size of a Tootsie-Pop so
your silicone tray should be the near-perfect size for such.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Holiday Cake Pops
Categories: Five, Cakes, Snacks, Chocolate, Candy
Yield: 35 Servings

15 1/4 oz Box (2-layer-size) cake mix
1 1/2 c Frosting
12 oz Vanilla or chocolate-flavor
- candy coating; chopped
12 oz Semisweet, dark, or white
- baking chocolate; chopped
34 (to 36) Lollipop sticks

Prepare desired-flavor cake mix according to package
directions. Use any suggested pan size and bake
according to package directions. Cool in pan on a wire
rack. Line trays or baking sheets with parchment or
waxed paper; set aside.

Remove cooled cake from pan and crumble into a very
large mixing bowl. Add desired-flavor frosting. Beat
with an electric mixer on low speed until combined.
Using a small scoop, drop mixture into 1 1/2" mounds
onto prepared trays; roll mounds into balls and freeze
for 30 minutes.

In a small microwave-safe dish heat 1 ounce of the
coating (about 1/4 cup) on 50% power (medium) for 60
seconds until melted and smooth, stirring once. Dip one
end of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate and
poke sticks into balls (this helps the balls stay on the
sticks). Freeze for 30 to 60 minutes more or until balls
are firm.

Place remaining candy coating and chopped chocolate in a
small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until melted
and smooth, stirring frequently. Working in batches, dip
balls into melted chocolate mixture. Allow excess to
drip off; place balls on clean waxed paper-lined trays
or baking sheets.

After coating is set, transfer to storage containers and
store, covered, in refrigerator.

Let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes before
serving.

One can purchase silicone bakeware, so I would think that if Cake Pops
were an option listed, it would be fine to stick them in the oven. The
package should also say what the temperature limit for them is. We have silicone spatulas and other utensils that get used regularly in cooking.
They all survive the heat quite well.

That said, I wouldn't put them under a broiler or anywhere they could
come in direct contact with a hot element or flame.
