Cherrybrook Kitchen mix & the Easy Bake oven...my apologies Hasbro

Before Christmas I posted about my frustrations with Hasbro and the Easy Bake Oven.  Initially, I was very annoyed that all the mixes have a nut allergy warning but then I decided Santa would deliver an Easy Bake Oven that would be safe for my special girl.  Santa and his elves used Cherrybrook Kitchen sugar cookie mix to create individual mixes just for Alexa.  Santa even placed a special note inside the box which read:

"Dear Alexa, I understand that the cookie and cake mixes for the Easy Bake Oven are not safe for you, so my elves and I created special mixes for you to use.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please tell your Mom she can use Cherrybrook Kitchen mixes in your oven when these special mixes run out.  Love, Santa"

She loved it and Christmas Morning we made safe sugar cookies even though we were in a hotel.  We haven't really used it since...bad I know...but hey, we're busy!  Today Alexa begged me to use her oven and said she wanted to make cakes instead of cookies.  Fortunately, I had some Cherrybrook Kitchen yellow cake mixes and we made 9 mini cakes.  My little baker was all smiles!  So Hasbro, sorry I diss-ed you-the oven is pretty fun and Cherrybrook Kitchen, thank you AGAIN for putting big smiles on my little girl's face!!  This is why I buy your mixes by the case!!

    1. It's fairly small. The little pans they include are 1/2 inch deep by about 3 1/2 inches wide. The opening for the cake pans is approximately 4 inches long and 1 inch high. If you over fill the 1/2 inch cake pans it's hard to get the cakes out because they hit the top. Hope that helps.

  7. HI there,
    I know this post is from a few years ago, but I was just looking up allergen info for the Easy Bake mixes online and ran across your blog. I cant find any info on the ingredients for the mixes. My son is allergic to peanuts. Can you remember what the mixes say about peanuts - made in the same facility - or may contain peanuts? Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

  8. Do you remember the measurements you used for the mixes?
