In a Minute Cake Maker?

[RSS]

The Ideal "In a Minute' cake maker concept confuses me, mostly because there's no baking involved in the baking. So many questions.

So why do you need an oven at all, why wasn't this set simply a bowl, a cake pan and an egg timer?

What the heck was the "cake" made of? Was it a high quality polymer created by the good people at DuPont?

Did it taste any good?

Please somebody fill me in on this...

I have this commercial on one of my tapes, and it always confused me too. I mean you have to wonder what this cake is made of and what it tastes like. And what kind of chemicals kids were ingesting that were in a cake you didn't have to bake? YUCK!

I remember these. My buddy's sister had one and we tried it once. It was the same premise as no bake cookies. You just added water and the ingredients set up in about a minute. The pan and oven were just props to play pretend. Calling it a "cake" was part of that pretend experience too. It was more or less a glorified insta-cookie with icing. The only thing more pathetic than it's taste, is the fact I can remember this with any detail. I am truly a pathetic human being.

It's weird how it goes "ring ring" instead of "ding" in that picture. If it really did that,I wonder how many parents got confused by this. "Is that the phone ringing?" "No daddy. That's my fake oven telling me my fake cake is done."
