My heart melted when my friend Tasha, from That’s So Yummy, sent me a photo and story about her daughter using her brand new Easy Bake Oven….
Did you ever own an Easy Bake Oven when you were a child?
I know I had always wanted one and for some reason I never got one when I was younger. I guess when I baked with parents I always just assisted them in the kitchen.
So when my daughter received one for Christmas this past year, I was so excited to share the feeling of baking something from scratch, and being proud of the end result. She was completely ecstatic, especially after I explained to her that it was her very OWN oven.
She looked at me with her big brown eyes and asked “Now I can bake like you mommy?”
I looked at her with tears in my eyes, (I know I’m a real sap) and said “Yes, baby just like mommy!”
Here is my princess, baking her very first Easy Bake Oven cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. 
Do you have any fun stories and photos to share about cooking with YOUR kids? I hope to share at least one reader story every week and can’t wait to hear about your adventures in the kitchen with your kids. Here is what you need to do.
p.s. Pass it on!
Thanks Michelle for featuring my post I am so happy I was able to share it with your readers.

OMG Cute! What an adorable story.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Kelly – yes, Tasha’s daughter is insanely cute! And kudos to her for bringing her into the kitchen!!!
This is awesome! I didn’t know they still made these! I don’t think I ever had one, but always wanted one. I bet my sons would love this. We had a playdough set that had it’s own oven and rolling pin, and kitchen accessories. My boys would make playdough food out of it… bread, eggs, bacon… it was hysterical. I had to hide it because they cooked up a storm every day…. Hmm… Maybe it’s time for an Easy Bake Oven? Stay tuned… Nice job, on the cake!
Thanks Colleen. Just keep your eyes open – I had a friend whose daughter forgot to shut hers off, and the floor underneath nearly burned! I can’t wait to see what the boys make you for dinner
What a great story (I would have had tears in my eyes too!) and I love the expression on her face. So much excitement and pride of her work. A littler baker in training.
I have my own Easy Bake oven!
how do you make the food i lost the instructions for mine
