It’s National Easy Bake Oven Day!

With Election Day looming large and the country anxiously waiting to cast ballots, we thought we’d lighten things up a bit and share a smile!

Today is the Easy Bake Oven’s 61st birthday. For those who loved and played with this pop icon, it’s a day to look back fondly on some of our first culinary efforts – or perhaps even current creations!

More than 30 million Easy-Bake Ovens have been sold since they were first introduced in 1963. In addition, more than 150 million cake mixes and refills have been purchased.

Each was lovingly stirred and scraped into tiny pans (with even tinier spatulas) and popped into the oven side slot with the dream of a stunning confection emerging in a few short minutes.

While most finished products fell a bit short of our expectations, we couldn’t wait to make the next one!

On National Easy Bake Oven Day, celebrate the lightbulb-powered toy oven that’s been baking up some real tasty treats for more than six decades!
