Easy Bakin'

On Sunday we got out the Easy Bake Oven that Ella got for Christmas and was she ever excited to use it! She immediately went to her kitchen and put on her chef's hat and apron and got all geared up to bake. She was happy that she got to do pretty well everything all by herself and it was fun for me too, since I got to relive what it was like when I had my own easy bake oven. Nothing about it has changed in the last 20 years, either, other than the color (mine was a lovely shade of orange with black trim). Here's a little step-by-step instruction about how to use an easy bake oven, featuring the lovely Miss Ella.

Step 1:Pour out cake mix.


Step 2: Add water. Step 3: Mix well.

Step 4: Pour batter into pan.

Step 5. Put cake into Easy Bake oven.
Step 6. Wait for cake to bake (who knew a light bulb could bake a cake in 12 minutes?).

Step 7. Smile for the camera as you wait for your cake.
Step 8. Give mommy a thumb's up to tell me how the cake's doing.
Step 9. Remove cake from oven when baked.
Step 10. Pour frosting mix into bowl while cake is cooling. Step 11: Add water and mix frosting well.
Step 12: Spread frosting on cake.

Step 15: Show off your hard work. Step 16. Enjoy!
Yummy!
