My Easy-Bake Oven


Are you old enough to remember the classic 1960's turquoise Easy-Bake Oven?  The first toy oven that transformed a little cake batter into a cute, child-size cake using two,100-watt lightbulbs?!

I've been sorting through old family photos, and found this one of my little brother and I playing with my Easy-Bake Oven in our family's 1960's California kitchen, complete with salmon-pink walls, plastic tablecloth, and plastic dining chairs. The eat-in kitchen also featured knotty pine cabinets that were popular at the time.
Remembering the excitement of making those not-quite-cooked, but oh-so-delicious-to-us little cakes with my sweet brother is a beautiful family memory I'll always cherish.
