Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven Baking Star Edition

The product was described as coming with three cake mixes. I bought this as a gift for my niece. When it arrived to her home, we found out the mixes were missing. The seller went above and beyond to make it right. He not only offered a return, but he also offered me a credit in the amount of the mixes, so that I could buy them on my own. I highly recommend doing any business with this seller! Oh, and my niece loves the oven.

I had so much fun baking with my four year old daughter! The treats are very small which I love because she's only four so they are perfect for her little mouth! Brings back memories when my sister made things for me as a child! I ordered extra pans and more food packs as well as the recipe book! The book has wonderful ideas for using your own food to make all kinds of things.....

I bought this for my 2-year-old niece so I could be the one to buy her her first Easy Bake Oven, ha! ha! Anyway, my sister put it together and long story short, the cookie dessert that came with this oven was SO DELICIOUS! My brother-in-law was like, "Wow, that is really good for a toy oven." It baked well, it's easy to set up, and every kid--boy or girl--should have one, really. Truthfully, I think a single adult who hates to bake could probably just use this for individual, easy-to-prepare desserts. Might be worth a try.

My 6 year old nephew wants to be Gordon Ramsey when he grows up. His mom and I cook and bake with him often, but of course you can't let a 6 year old do all that much on their own--especially the oven. So I bought him this oven because I had one when I was little and LOVED it.Like a few others said, I expected the toy to come with mixes, which it didn't. But I didn't really mind because I bought a box of grocery store cake mix instead and split it up between several baggies. The nephew was more excited to get a ton of mixes than he would've been if he'd gotten one or two. (There are recipes and tips online.)The oven is not quite as I remember--it's much more safety conscious than it was back in the 70s. The tool used to push the pan into the oven gets stuck sometimes, and if you use too much cake mix, it spills out of the pan. Because the opening is very small (to keep little hands from getting burned), it's not easy to clean up any mess inside.I had an issue with my order and am very happy with the company's response. They seemed to really care about my business and making it right.

I really wanted to love it but it is hard.THE GOOD:It is relatively simple concept of tou and relatively easy to use so a child of 10 can do it with absolute minimum supervision limitedto just making sure that they wont' burn themselves so might need help taking baked goodies out but they will manageto do everything else completly and totally by themselves.It does actually bake actually real eadable food.THE BAD:it is somewhat primitive, If you think something opens there like a door.. think again. It is actually a non operable piece of plastic.You use that long blue spatula to push the tray on the what you see in the picture looks like left handle of the oven whcih actuallyis not handle but a slot for a small tray with baked goods.. and you then use the same blue stick spatula to push the tray outthrough the left hole so it comes out through the what looks like right handle.it is so primitive and so bad that it really is sad. I wish it could open and just function like a normal microwave or oven type of thingsince we are here to teach our kids to use real appliances right? Why a child can not open a box? beyond me.Please redesign this thing/ If there is a time concern make a real timer build in so the door won't open during a baking time or something..there are some ways to do it right!THE UGLY.. : the mixes...So the oven does not come with much in terms of fun. If you are serious about buying this to a child do not attempt to end thereas anything less then 6 or 8 boxes of mixes that you can use to bake stuff with will be hugely dissapointed to a child.One box of mix keep them busy for entire 15 minutes so if you got one box then after that much it is nothing but dissapointmentif they can not do it again and they will and want to bake another batch instantly.Boxes of the food to bake in it are sold separately and individually and you need to sit down for this: they average in price of 6.00 bucks.yes. Not the worse part.. worse part is.. imagine a regular size of chocolate chip cookie, now cut it in 8 pieces! and this is about howmuch baked goods you get from one mix.. yes, about a size of one cookie.So that is really deal sort of like with printers and ink.. it might not cost much but the mixes wiill eat you up.I like others will be looking for ways to do it cheaper. My little girl already tried to make her own mix of cookies andthey were just as good as from the mix. Furthermore I hear people experimenting with buying just cheap supermarketcake mixes and makign small batches of them and they work fine. I will try that.manufacturer should really give parents break and offer larger amounts of mix at reasonable price.Otherwise = the toy is cute, the kid has fun but a parents frustration with primitive design and the price of refilesis reason for three stars.

My 11 year old and 9 year old love to cook. Well, when they were given a easy bake oven all seemed to come together in the universe. Well, after 6 months of bliss their 6 year old brother, thought butter needed to put in the easy bake to cook better. Needless to say it broke and after many days of them torturing their little brother for breaking their oven, I felt it was time to replace it. So I may be back sooner than later. Great buy for the price of my sanity.

The oven works as described; my complaint is that it's so ridiculous to mix a tiny little amount, and it has to be super flat before and after baking- it's just not worth the hassle. My 5-yr old still loves it, but it really makes more sense to bake the normal way.Update: This is such a waste. My daughter still loves it because it is hers, but here's why I don't:1. Finding tiny recipes is a pain. We were gifted a great recipe book (available on Amazon) that has the best collection I have found, but it makes such a tiny amount, it's hardly worth the effort.2. We just made cake that overflowed the TINY pan, and there is not going to be an easy way to clean it out (we are going to have to take the oven apart...)3. The mixes from the store are pretty nasty. The last one my daughter did had a weird fake-sugar aftertaste.4. Even with all of the (annoying) safety features so that kids don't burn themselves, they still need supervision. If you want to teach your kids to cook, just cook in a real oven.
