Dare to dream of magical cupcakes.

[secondlina]

You all know i'm awful at cooking. I mean, just awful. I suck. A lot. And it's not about trying harder either. I think i'm genetically restrained.

In any case, I just learned Thinkgeek is selling a mini cupcake machine. Make batter, shove batter, get a cupcake in five minutes.

Behold it right here.

NO MORE BURNING AND LOTS OF CUPCAKES? YES PLEASE.

EDIT : I wish the whole thing really worked like magic, but I guess it probably doesn't. Really, i'm more interested in the gadget and "magical cupcake" aspect then the product itself.

Maybe I should look into pasty fairies instead.

Woah, this reminds me of my childhood. Easy bake oven, anyone?

There's no such thing as being genetically restrained, it's all a matter of learning and having presence of mind when cooking or baking. I had roommates convinced they could not cook/bake until I had them help me out in the kitchen, and once they gained some basic skills, they took off on their own.

The thing seems like a nifty idea, but I think in the long run it would be yet another gadget to take up space in the cupboard. You can't even bake that many cupcakes at a time, so you would be slaving over that thing waiting to swap out the cooked cupcakes with more batter. I can't see the convenience of it at all! XP (And seriously, don't throw everything together then stir it like the guy did in the video. That's a no-no in baking.)

If you keep burning things, try lowering the temperature of the oven, or lessen the baking time.

Mmm, cupcakes...Though I bet that thing is a pain to clean between batches!

Aha, the guy at the end of the video really cracks me up. XD

I almost bought this for my sister for X-Mas!

Easy bake oven was my LIFE. That and an ice-cream maker machine. So much fun.

Neat! I know it wouldn't be instant, but I love the idea of instant cupcakes. XD

And hey, not everyone is good at everything food related. Stu is the cook for meals between us (I can cook, but he just loves it more) but I am a better baker than him. (Worse case, I'll bring baked goods with me. ^_~)

Mmm... insta-cupcakes :P It still looks like you pretty much have to do all the work outside of oven heating ;) I'm not much of a baker, but I was told the best way to tell if it's done is poking a fork in the middle, and when it comes out clean you're done :P

I remember the commercials for Easy bake oven, but I never actually saw one in person :P
