I’m glad Annalie liked getting her own card! :) funny, b/c I just saw some of the pretzel mixes at the store the other day. my sister really wanted an easy bake oven one year… I think she used it once or twice and that was it. ah well, Annalie will probably always remember it — and her friends will be the ones saying they always wished for one hehe :)

I really wanted to get an Easy Bake Oven for my niece for Christmas, but she already has one! I guess mixes it is!

I loved the part of the story about Grace. What a wonderful, loving woman – through the simple things. It made me decide – here and now – I want to be a Grace when I’m almost 90. (I just need to find people! :) )How thoughtful and warm for her to think of so many others throughout the year. Thank you for sharing that, Bethany!

I had one of these when I was a kid and I was never- not once- disappointed with the results. Even the time I melted the pushy thing to the lightbulb. My brownies still were MINE and they could have tasted terrible and I would have eaten them.

PS- My mom refused to spend thousands on the actual mixes. She always bought the tiny “Jiffy” boxed from the grocery store cake aisle and I used those. They worked fine and were way cheaper.

I got one of those for my niece two years ago and she loved it! This year she’s graduated up to the Girl Gourmet Cake Bakery which looks like tons of fun. I hope Annalie loves her Easy Bake as much as my niece did. :)

That’s fun! I always wanted an Easy Bake oven as well, but my mom told me I could bake whatever I wanted in the big oven with her. But I always kind of wanted tiny cakes!

I cannot tell you how excited I was to see the first picture of Annalie and the box. I am eagerly looking forward to when Isabelle wants one. I have fond memories of baking cakes in little ovens.

My mom never used to cook with me and my sister or make cakes. So, when we made tiny cakes with a Holly Hobbie oven, I thought they were delicious. But are they really? Did you try it? My memory of the cakes may not live up to reality.

Oooh Isabelle just walked up and said she wanted one!

I had an Easy Bake and I loved it. It didn’t matter how horribly things turned out, because I MADE THEM WITH MY OWN MINI OVEN. Never underestimate the power of mini. I love seeing the newer versions of the toys I used to have. They really do make things cooler with time, huh?

And that is the nicest Easy Bake Oven I have ever seen.

Congratulations Annalie on picking out your gift and making such a wonderful choice. Have lots of fun baking with Mom.

You guys are lucky to know someone as wonderful as Grandma Grace! You’re also lucky to have a girl…I always wanted and never had an Easy Bake Oven and now, with boys, I won’t get one any time soon. Maybe with my grandchildren? Anyway…here’s a website with recipes to make your own Easy Bake Oven batters and doughs:
