My niece got a Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker for Christmas this year. It was high on her list, so she was excited when Santa left it for her. We’ve already tested it out. Her mom’s (my sister) birthday is the day after Christmas, so we made some cupcakes, and frosted them up.
The cupcake maker is really more of a cupcake decorator. There are instructions for making the cupcakes, but the actual making takes place in the microwave.
We did use the Girl Gourmet to decorate our cupcakes, and it is really fun for kids to decorate a couple cupcakes with the decorator. It’s not really set up to make more than one or two cupcakes at a time. It holds enough icing in the chamber to decorate one cupcake.
It was a fun process to watch, and my niece had fun making the cupcakes. She even made a few extra to take to a friends house when she went for an overnight. The Girl Gourmet Cupcake set has a little carrier you can transport a couple cupcakes in.
The Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker by Jakks includes 1 safe and easy microwave container, the Cupcake Froster, 4 luscious flavored cupcake mixes featuring Red Velvet, Cinnamon Sugar, Chocolate and Yellow Vanilla, 4 delicious frosting mixes which include Cream Cheese, Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry; a tube of sprinkles, mixing bowl, spoon/spreader, multi-designed cupcake cups with cupcake cup holder, and recipe cards.
The next time we’re going to try making the ice cream sandwiches.
