WHAT IT IS

Kids can become seasoned bakers with Goliath’s Tasty Tinies Bake Shop. Each kit includes enough cake mix for two mini cakes, sprinkles, frosting, a mini measuring cup, a silicone mold, a mixing cup and spoon, a cardboard oven, an icing tip, and an icing bag. Kids stir the cake mix and water, pour it in the mold, then set it in the cardboard oven. Parental supervision is required when kids place the oven and mold in the microwave for 25 seconds. Once the cake is ready, families can make the icing and decorate their desserts.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Since the icing and cake mix only require water, parents can introduce their kids to baking without several steps and ingredients. Kids can flex their creative muscles while decorating their desserts and refine their ability to follow instructions. Little bakers will also feel a sense of accomplishment when eating something they made on their own. Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry cake mixes and icing flavors are available, as well as different types of sprinkles, for the ultimate combinations. The box will highlight if you will receive a heart-, round-, or bundt-shaped cake mold.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

The cake and icing mix both come as powder, so making and decorating the dessert can be messy. The mold can also become hot in the microwave — parental supervision is required when using the appliance and removing the mold from the cardboard oven once it finishes baking. Kids can alter the amount of water and icing mix if the consistency is not right at first mix.

PERFECT FOR

Aspiring bakers; creative kids; family activities; learning how to follow instructions; budget-friendly play
