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.
