Easy Bake Microwave and Style Deluxe Delights Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll say right off the bat that my 5 year old daughter loved the EASY BAKE MICROWAVE AND STYLE DELUXE DELIGHTS KIT. She loved mixing up the cakes, loading them into the "cake pans," mixing and squishing the fondant with her hands, and pressing the fondant into the molds. She was very proud of making one tiny cake each for Dad, Mom, and herself, and she had a great time. That is definitely worth something in my book.
Now for the BUTS. And they are pretty big...
1. There is no way you can make the fancy detailed cakes and cookies on the package without using up all the mixes in the package. That means you would have to replace the mixes every time your little baker wanted to use the EASY BAKE MICROWAVE AND STYLE DELUXE DELIGHTS KIT. That makes this project a bit cost prohibitive.
2. There are lots of little tiny pieces, all of which you need to make a single, tiny cake, and, of course, the EASY BAKE MICROWAVE AND STYLE DELUXE DELIGHTS KIT does not come with its own storage box. I always end up using Ziploc bags, but you can still easily lose one of the multitude of necessary, aforementioned, tiny pieces, which, of course, you cannot replace.
3. Taste. YUCK. Admittedly, we have only make the raspberry flavored cakes with the hot pink fondant (the wee one is going through a MASSIVE pink phase), but they tasted dreadful (not that she knew), and are full of artificial ingredients. I really don't want to eat these, and I REALLY don't want my child to eat them (although she did declare her handy work delicious). I HOPE the chocolate will taste better, but I seriously doubt it will.
4. MESSY. This is a very messy project, especially with a 5 year old. You cannot get the mixes in the tiny baking dishes without making one. We also ended up with fondant crumbs everywhere. And (although the box does warn you), the dye used in the mixes stains. My fingers were still pink two days later. The mess in and of itself is not an issue, we make big messes every time we cook together, but none of the myriad of tiny pieces is dishwasher safe. Additionally, if you need to use a piece in subsequent steps, then you need to wash those pieces between the steps. This makes the project longer and messier that it needs to be.
The EASY BAKE MICROWAVE AND STYLE DELUXE DELIGHTS KIT is a great concept. I loved my Easy Bake Oven as a child, and this seemed like its natural evolution. But I could use my Easy Bake Oven myself and clean it up easily; this definitely takes an adult and a lot more clean up time. This EASY BAKE MICROWAVE AND STYLE DELUXE DELIGHTS KIT simply fails on so many levels. My intention is to let my daughter use it a few more times, until the mixes are gone...and then it will disappear into the back of the cabinet.
