Wooden Make-a-Cake Mixer Set for Mom’s Little Helpers

Kids love to ‘be like mom’, and this Wooden Make-a-Cake Mixer Set from Melissa and Doug is a perfect pretend-play toy for kids helping mom in the kitchen. It’s made of wood with a beautiful finish and harks back to when most toys were wooden. The pieces look realistic, much better than plastic, in my opinion, and they are durable.

There are 11 pieces in the set: Mixer, mixing bowl, pretend pound cake mix box, two-part egg, two pats of butter, pretend pound cake loaf, cake pan, recipe card, and a wooden knife.

The mixer head tilts back realistically, and it has a hand-cranked mixer whisk. A numbered ‘speed’ dial on the side can be ‘adjusted’ as required. It does just what your child would want it to do when copying your actions when baking.

The colors are gender-neutral, and the toy will appeal equally to boys and girls.
