With the Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery, kids can bake and decorate their own tasty creations without all the mess. The Cake Bakery helps teach children the basics of baking in their own home while allowing them to add their own creative touches with fondant shapes and gel decorators. Kids ages 8 and up simply need a microwave oven and some adult supervision to start having fun with baking.

Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery Set Ages: 8 and up Requires: Microwave oven Adult supervision

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Offers creative activities and helps kids learn about baking measurements and mixing. The Challenging: Assembly and decoration may take some time to learn. In a Nutshell: Cake baking and decorating is fun and tasty way for young bakers to get involved in the kitchen.

Kids can learn baking basics, add their own creative touches, and bake their own tasty treats with the Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery!

Make a variety of cakes, fondants and decorative creations with the included mixes.

One, Two, Three, Cake
The Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery comes with a variety of cake mixes, fondants and decorative treats that make the possibilities of creative cakes numerous. The cake mix flavors include chocolate and vanilla, while the fondant flavors include chocolate, blue, yellow, and red -- all of these require only water added to mix and prepare. For those with allergies, the mixes do contain milk, egg, or soy ingredients.

The overall design of the Cake Bakery is a workstation for cakes -- easy to set up and complete with all you need to mix, bake, and decorate your cakes. It includes a Cake Bakery base, gel decorator, decorating wheel, microwave dish and lid, mixing bowl and cake mold, measuring spoon, tray, spatula, utensil holder, work mat, rolling pin, cartridge cleaning brush, two gel cartridges, and four fondant cutters.

Baking cakes is easy. Simply follow the included instructions, add water to the mix, pour the batter into the cake mold, and put it in a microwave. (Children should wear baking mitts and have a supervising adult nearby at all times.) You now have perfectly baked Cake Bakery cakes.

Cakes with Creativity
Fondant can be mixed just like the cake batter. When thoroughly mixed, it's time for the creative step in the process -- decoration! Kids will enjoy rolling the fondant on the work mat with the rolling pin. Any of the four fondant flavors and colors can be combined to create new colors, and kids can cut ornamental shapes out of the fondant using the four fondant cutters.

After both the fondant and the gel are on the cake with your own unique design, you may want to toss on some sprinkles and -- voila! -- you've got your own tasty creation whipped up and ready to eat.

Stacking Up
The Cake Bakery is ideal for young children who want to make a tasty treat, but aren't quite ready for the messy and time consuming process of ovens and egg whites. Although getting the hang of the gel decorator may take a couple trial runs, kids will enjoy learning how to use the tool.

The cake batter is easy to mix and takes only seconds to bake in a microwave oven. However, parents and kids should be aware that the cakes do not taste as authentic or delicious as a professional or homemade cake. Still, the taste is sweet and satisfying and the step by step process is extremely efficient.

What's in the Box
Cake Bakery base, vanilla cake mix, chocolate cake mix, four fondant mixes, rainbow sprinkles, white gel, gel decorator, decorating wheel, microwave baker, microwave baker lid, mixing bowl, cake mold, measuring spoon, tray, spatula, four fondant cutters, utensil holder, work mat, rolling pin, two gel cartridges, cartridge cleaning brush, four recipe cards, and instruction sheet.

Please save your money and your sanity. My child was so excited about this and it was a big disappointment. The fondant didn't set up right. The "cakes" tasted awful. This is possibly the biggest waste of money ever!!

If you notice that Jordan "J" reviewed this as positive and the only other two reviews "J" has done is to review other products by the same company...also where he is the only positive review. How lame.

My daughter received this as a gift and was so excited as she loves Ace of Cakes -- What A big disappointment - fondant never became the right consistency - cakes are tiny and rubbery - just a lot of plastic junk that I will probably throw out by the end of the week...Duff - get your name off of this product as fast as possible!
