Last Minute Help for the Holidays: Turn Your Child Into an "Ace of Cakes"

When I was a little girl I had an Easy Bake oven. You’d mix up the ingredients and put them in the oven and wait for what seemed like forever to get a pretty tasty cake. But it was small and you didn’t have a lot of decorating options.

That was then and this is now. Girls don’t have to settle for just a plain little cake anymore…

The Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery featuring Duff from “Ace of Cakes” allows girls (and boys) to make super fancy looking cakes very easily. You make the cake in the microwave. The bakery helps you make it look like something Duff would do himself.

And that’s because the bakery gives you all of the tools. After you make your cake layers and cover them with the fondant you create, you load the layers on the cake decorating wheel and decorate them with the gel decorator—just like the pros. You can make strips, shapes all kinds of fun stuff. When you’re done you can throw on some sprinkles, and wa-lah! You have a professional looking miniature cake, which is something that adults can enjoy as much as kids.

The bakery also includes recipe cards and decorating tips from Duff himself.

If your child wants to take baking one step further, this is definitely the toy for them. Just make sure there’s an adult with them that can resist the urge to just eat the layers when they come out of the microwave…

The Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery (SRP $34.99, Ages 8+) is available in stores and online now…
