Just as Millennials grew up baking treats in the Easy-Bake Oven, a new generation of food lovers can now play with the YumYum! Real Baking Oven—and safely bake their own cakes, cookies, blondies and other sweet treats.
The YumYum! Real Baking Oven features a cool-touch exterior and a safety lock, and includes a baking tray, spatula, and whisk to get young bakers ages eight and up started. Gen Alpha can make the most of YumYum! baking mixes—like the Shimmer n' Sugar Cookie Mix and Frost n' Fun Cake Mix—sold separately, as well as decorating kits to take their creations to the next level.
Baking toys have an enduring, cross-generational appeal—parents love them for their safety, simplicity and the sense of nostalgia they provide, while kids are thrilled to create real treats that look and taste delicious.
