HA!!

I did buy my miece one for Christmas a few years ago and the cakes are as bad as I remember. But she loves the damn thing.

ETA: I just buy her this www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2373095 It has a few different flavors.

I always thought the mixes were gross and refused to eat them, so my mom made her own mixes and portioned them out in little bags. There are recipes all over the internet for them, and also recipes that you can portion out with regular box cake mixes. Not sure if you're interested but just thought I would mention it.

Alissa has one. You don't need to buy their mixes, you can find recipes online for them.

I would get him this instead of mixes:

You should also get your nephew's mom this, but mostly because it's funny - www.amazon.com/Easybake-Oven-Gourmet-David-Hoffman/dp/0762414405/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1351712510&sr=8-3&keywords=easy+bake+oven+cookbook

My DD got one for Christmas last year...and still it sits untouched 10 months later.

So you don't want to make a bunch of mixes and put them in little jelly jars? WTF. Bad aunt.

I didn't realize they still made those. I wanted one SO BADLY when I was a kid. If only you were my aunt.

You people are amazingly unhelpful, lol.

Lol--sorry . I judged "goodness" by how many of each mix was left when I bought them--lol. I think the brownie & red velvet would be better than the pretzels. But I am TOTALLY guessing. I wanted one SO bad as a kid...it kills me that my DDs get gifts, lots of them, that sit untouched for months on end. SPOILED brats...ok, they aren't brats but they are totally spoiled! I've started regifting stuff that never was opened & they don't even notice.

Definitely look online for recipes and skip the icky mixes. In fact, my niece had an Easy Bake Oven a few years ago and as one of her Christmas gifts the year she got it, I made her a scrapbook of recipes as part of her gift. Lots of things they didn't even have pre-made mixes for, and much tastier!

I think that they are bullshit personally. Just use the regular oven with a regular cake mix the cake will taste a helluva lot better and is shareable. That's just my 2 cents

Dude, this board can suck the fun out of anything.
