My daughters best friend has an easy bake oven and they want to play every time they are together... (they are 6) however this is NOT something your kid can play with without adult supervision. So question is how much are you willing to play with it? The friends mother and I (also friends) have figured that letting the girls make real cupcakes is actually easier, cheaper,(The easy bake mixes which only make single servings are pretty expensive compared to a whole box of cake mix or brownie mix.) safer (kids know not to touch the oven or something right out of the oven... they forget sometimes when it is a "toy") and less time comsuming than playing easy bake oven. Not to mention they taste ALOT better! Hope this helps!
