Product Overview

This wooden mixer set turns pretend baking into a full recipe routine. The mixer has a dial that spins to "adjust speed" and a crank that turns the fitted bowl, while a wooden egg and butter pats come apart at their self-stick tabs using the included child-friendly wooden knife. A recipe card guides little chefs through making a pound cake, and the set rounds out the scene with a pretend pound cake mix box, a pretend pound cake loaf, and a cake pan. Built for ages three and up, it's made for cracking, slicing, blending, and serving up pretend treats again and again.
