There will be an Easy Bake Oven under our Christmas tree this year. It is one of those toys I always coveted as a child and I’m excited to be able to give it to Grace, who loves to cook and bake. And while I got a good deal on the new oven, I had to draw the line at the $6 mixes for itty bitty cakes. Thank goodness for Google because there are PLENTY of DIY Easy Bake Oven recipes out there.

Homemade Easy Bake Oven Mixes Mason Jar Lables by The Party Teacher

So last night I made up several batches: Jeweled Tea Cake, Cookies & Cream Cake, Pretty in Pink Cake, French Vanilla Cake and Lemon Cake (not pictured). (Can you tell that Grace is not a fan of chocolate? I have no idea what’s up with that.)

I packaged the mixes in the smallest canning jars I could find (half-pint size). Then I topped each jar with a 6.5 inch circle of fabric cut with pinking sheers. (There is no magic to the 6.5 inch size; it’s just the diameter of my smallest mixing bowl that I used to trace the circle.) A little ribbon and a tag made in Word using the font “Sweetheart Script” and I was done. You also could make tags in PicMonkey (easy and free).

Some of the recipes say to combine some of the dry ingredients, add a liquid, and then add the rest of the dry ingredients. I just ignored all that, combined all my dry ingredients, and am guessing that will be just fine for Easy Bake Oven purposes.

If you use a 6 oz mason jar like I did, you can double or even triple the recipes below. BUT, make sure to note on your recipe how much you multiplied it by so you can (1) scoop out the right amount of mix and (2) add the right amount of liquids. (Having the measurements on the side of the mason jar makes all that pretty easy.)

I believe I paid $7 for the jars and $2 for the ribbon; everything else I had. So, total cost = $9 for five mixes instead of $30. Go me!

The sites I used for my recipes are Squiddo.com (no longer published) and Budget101.com. Here are the recipes I used.

From Budget101:
