Last week, I wrote about how much I enjoyed my Easy Bake Oven as a child. I bought one at a thrift store for $6 and tried it out for nostalgia purposes.
I think it might have been more exciting as a child. I made this tiny, four-layer apple cinnamon cake in the oven. It took me almost two hours. I used a packaged cupcake mix because it was the perfect amount. Just for scale, look at how tiny these cake pans are. And you can only cook one pan at a time, each one takes about 20 minutes. I messed up on two of them ... who knew you could burn a cake with a light
bulb?
For the top layer, I put apples in the pan to cook them along with the batter. I also topped it with sugar and freshly ground cinnamon.
The cakes were adorable and tasty, just like they would have been out of the oven. It was time consuming, but if I was the target audience of children 8 years old plus, I think it would have been a cool experience to make a cake all by my little lonesome. I think every kid should have one of these.

2 hours! you really have patience and should be commended for that, Kelly. I agree, things always seem more magical, more tasty,... when we were kids! Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed your cake. That's all that matters, Kelly! Great job!
I never had one of those,sounds like fun for kids!:)0
It sounds and looks good Kelly. I am sure 2 hour is worth it! :D
Omg, I love you for getting an easy bake oven and playing around with it as an adult. I never had one when I was a kid, but I'm sure I would have had a lot of fun with it. :)
