Babycakes CC-2828PK Cupcake Maker Review
Our verdict
A high-wattage 220V cupcake maker built for international use. At $87.99 it costs more than most competitors, and 220V limits it to travelers or homes with a step-down transformer.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other toaster ovens, convection and pizza ovens, toasters, stand and hand mixers, bread machines and baking appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Babycakes CC-2828PK is the brand's 220V model, pulling 1400 watts to heat up quickly compared to lower-wattage competitors. The pink plastic body is light enough to pack and the footprint is compact. It has earned a 4.1-star rating from 118 buyers, which is respectable if modest.
The voltage requirement is the defining factor here. At 220V, this maker is not plug-and-go in the US, where standard outlets deliver 120V. Anyone who has ever used a 120V appliance abroad knows the frustration of needing adapters, and the same principle applies in reverse. That said, for buyers in 220V markets or those with a dedicated step-down transformer, the 1400W draw means faster preheat and more consistent results.
At $87.99, the CC-2828PK is the priciest option in this category. The 6.4 lb weight sits in the middle of the range. Buyers who need a 220V unit will find few alternatives, but US buyers should seriously consider the CC-12 or another 120V model instead.
Pros
- 1400W draw heats up faster than lower-wattage models
- Compact pink plastic build is easy to store
- 4.1-star rating shows solid satisfaction among buyers who need a 220V unit
- Babycakes is a well-known dedicated cupcake-maker brand
Cons
- 220V only, not compatible with standard US 120V outlets without a converter
- At $87.99 it is significantly more expensive than comparable 120V models
- Thin buyer pool of 118 reviews means less data confidence than higher-reviewed competitors

Performance notes
The 1400W rating is the highest in this category, which translates to faster heating cycles. The plastic housing is typical for countertop cupcake makers and retains heat adequately during a batch. The pink color is the only finish offered.
What buyers say
Buyers who purchased knowing the 220V requirement are generally satisfied, reflecting the 4.1-star average. The main complaints in this segment tend to be from buyers who overlooked the voltage spec, so reading the listing carefully before purchase is important.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Babycakes CC-2828PK in the United States?
Not directly. Standard US household outlets supply 120V, and this unit requires 220V. You would need a step-down voltage converter to use it safely. If you are in the US, the Babycakes CC-12 is the 120V version to consider instead.
Is 1400W too much power for a cupcake maker?
Not at all. Higher wattage means faster preheat and more even heat distribution. The tradeoff is that a 220V outlet is required to deliver that power level. On a properly matched circuit, 1400W is a practical rating for this type of appliance.
