Easy-Bake Oven Inducted to Toy Hall of Fame

Now those childhood baking memories with the Easy Bake Oven are forever preserved in a museum! I had one of these cats. I got it the day my sister was born, to mollify me I suppose. It worked; I was obsessed with it. My Easy Bake looked something like this, but I don't remember the "counter top" and all that jazz. One day I brought (I'll never forget this) a Lemon flavored "cake" that I "baked" (with a lightbulb) to my 5th grade teacher, Ms. Palardy (one of my favorite teachers of all time). But I remember to my horror when I gave it to her, that it looked sort of crumbly, and not at all as nice as the ones I had been baking for three days straight. She put on a good face as she opened the tin foil, and it wasn't until I got home and made the same mistake again--I had forgotten the oil, or the egg? anyway, the binding agent--and that's why it was all falling apart. I remember this after-the-fact-humiliation perfectly. When I got older I was bored with the oven, and bored mixing the ingredients and waiting for the 5 or 10 minute baking time. I had completely lost interest when I was eating the dry mix directly from the packet. Who's got time to bake?
