When I was young I loved my Easy Bake Oven so it was no surprise when Isabelle started asking for one of her own. At 7, she loves to help in the kithcen and has been asking to make her own cakes, from start to finish, all by herself. “Just like you, Mom”, ahhh, this girl makes me smile! Yet, at only 7, there’s no way I’ll let her use the real oven and stove, so it really is the perfect age for an Easy Bake Oven!
Hasbro sent my daughter her own, newly designed, Ultimate Easy Bake Oven. Recommended for ages 8 and up, girls and boys alike will love to create {and eat} their own desserts. With little adult assistance {supervision is required here, parents}, they get a fun product plus the esteem booster that results in baking solo. Sample food items required to bake are included {chocolate chip cookie mix, red velvet cake mix, pink frosting mix}, as well as frostings and sprinkles/sugar crystals. This set also comes with baking pan, cupcake pan, pan pusher, paper cupcake wraps and a recipe booklet.
The new design of this Easy Bake Oven safeguards anyone from easy access to the heating element. And, there’s no lightbulb for this one, it plugs in. I also like the idea of the storage drawer on this model, to store all those supplies so they aren’t loose and all over the place. Great idea!
The tasty results are perfect for tiny tea-parties with sisters and dolls {yes, darling daughter, it’s good to share!}. Additional mixes {from cakes, cookies to even pizza}, can be purchased separately, so that more can be made all year around. And, those additional items make for great stocking stuffer ideas too!

My 5yr old wants one of these…thanks for lettin me know it’s for 8+.
For more independence, I can see the 8+ age group, yet at 5, it would be fun – but that would mean more fo the work done by Mom! 😉
I miss the way they used to look!!
Oh how I loved my Easy Bake oven…as did my nieces, but this boom box version just doesn’t seem right to me somehow 🙂
