Jakks Pacific Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker —
I bought this, "gourmet cupcake maker" toy for my daughter and my niece. It wasn't what I expected. The cake mix tasted terrible as did the icing. I found that I had to do most of the work as the measuring was very precise and the material was hard to stir and to pour.
In the commercials the icing came out so slow and beautifully decorating the cake. In reality when you press down on the handle the cupcake spins rapidly, we even had one fly off. But there was no point in pressing the handle to squeeze out the icing because it just runs out by itself anyway.
This toy was a crock. I would never recommend it. Save yourself twenty five bucks and go get some real cake mix, icing and a bakers decorating kit. It should cost you less and will taste tons better. The kids will have a better time too and participate more.
