I love playing with fondant, it’s kind of like edible play dough. Girl Gourmet has a new Cake Bakery that lets little girls (or boys and big kids too) make their own mini two tiered cake and decorate it with fondant.
Kids just add water to one of the cake flavors, stir and pour into the double cavity cake molds, then they can place the molds into the microwavable safe container and microwave for 30 seconds. I like that there are no hot ovens involved.
Next you add water to one of the colorful fondant mixes, stir and roll out onto the non stick mat. Remove the cakes from their molds when they’re cooled then cover the cakes with colorful fondant.
I like that the Cake Bakery ingredients are gluten and wheat-free, trans-fat free, and are produced in nut-free facility in the U.S. Many children who suffer from Celiac and nut allergies will be able to safely experience the art of baking, which I think is fabulous!
I think the Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery is wonderful for children who have not had much experience with baking in the past. Children who already participate in baking on a regular basis may be a little disappointed with the Cake Bakery, but they may also still have fun with the individual decorating aspect.
The Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery is available at most major retailers, or you can find more information at the Jakks-Pacific website.
