Make a variety of cakes, fondants and decorative creations with the included mixes. One, Two, Three, Cake
The Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery comes with a variety of cake mixes, fondants and decorative treats that make the possibilities of creative cakes numerous. The cake mix flavors include chocolate and vanilla, while the fondant flavors include chocolate, blue, yellow, and red -- all of these require only water added to mix and prepare. For those with allergies, the mixes do contain milk, egg, or soy ingredients.

The overall design of the Cake Bakery is a workstation for cakes -- easy to set up and complete with all you need to mix, bake, and decorate your cakes. It includes a Cake Bakery base, gel decorator, decorating wheel, microwave dish and lid, mixing bowl and cake mold, measuring spoon, tray, spatula, utensil holder, work mat, rolling pin, cartridge cleaning brush, two gel cartridges, and four fondant cutters.

Baking cakes is easy. Simply follow the included instructions, add water to the mix, pour the batter into the cake mold, and put it in a microwave. (Children should wear baking mitts and have a supervising adult nearby at all times.) You now have perfectly baked Cake Bakery cakes.

Cakes with Creativity
Fondant can be mixed just like the cake batter. When thoroughly mixed, it's time for the creative step in the process -- decoration! Kids will enjoy rolling the fondant on the work mat with the rolling pin. Any of the four fondant flavors and colors can be combined to create new colors, and kids can cut ornamental shapes out of the fondant using the four fondant cutters.

After both the fondant and the gel are on the cake with your own unique design, you may want to toss on some sprinkles and -- voila! -- you've got your own tasty creation whipped up and ready to eat.

Stacking Up
The Cake Bakery is ideal for young children who want to make a tasty treat, but aren't quite ready for the messy and time consuming process of ovens and egg whites. Although getting the hang of the gel decorator may take a couple trial runs, kids will enjoy learning how to use the tool.

The cake batter is easy to mix and takes only seconds to bake in a microwave oven. However, parents and kids should be aware that the cakes do not taste as authentic or delicious as a professional or homemade cake. Still, the taste is sweet and satisfying and the step by step process is extremely efficient.
