Eat Cake!

Back when I was a kid they had the Easy Bake Oven...
Which still exists...Now they have Girl Gourmet...
A Cake making station kit where you can bake a cake,
 make the fondant, decorate and eat just like Ace of Cakes...
My daughters favorite thing to do is bake, so she decided
 with her Christmas money to buy this cake set.
She had fun playing with it, creating little cakes. I observed though it wasn't all that easy to make the cakes look as good as the pictures. I couldn't break her spirit and tell her I thought it was a gimmick. We made the best of it and had fun making the cakes as good as we could make them to look.
It wasn't the easiest task...
I would rather make real cakes... I think she would agree.
Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Next time, we will make better choices as to what to purchase with our money. Perhaps some real baking items and cake making equipment that she can really use and keep for when she becomes a home maker. I wish I would have suggested that earlier. Oh well, we still had fun with it and that's all that counts.
