What's that smell??Oct 27, 2008
By Sofia Hernandez
"Maddy, Eli & Joshy's Mom"
So my nephews and nieces came over and my daughter decides that she wants to open her birthday present and "bake". We agree, because it only needed a microwave and some water to make "supposedly" tasty cupcakes. Easy right?? Not really...
And it begins... luckily we didn't have to assemble which was a blessing. We grab the little mixing bowl and pour in the little powdery mix. ON a side note, a big annoyance is the fact that the set starts you off with 4 cupcakes only. One in each flavor: Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet and Cinnamon. So luckily, the big kids that could participate were only 4 so there wasn't any arguing. The down side once again... only one bowl and mixing spoon/spatula. We pour in the 2 tablespoons of water, daughter mixes and we pop it into the microwave with its appropriate container. Twenty-five seconds later; VIOLA! It is indeed a cupcake, but a spongy-holey looking one. Within a minute, my honest reaction was: "WHAT'S THAT SMELL?" I kept on asking if the dog had urinated somewhere. We discovered that the "glorious" smell was indeed the birthday girls Vanilla cupcake.
The next three children went, 2 tablespoons of water wasn't enough for some of the mixes. Chocolate after it was nuked smelled like poop. Cinnamon smelled like cinnamon batter and Red Velvet smelled like different poop. Nonetheless... the 4 cousins were excited to ice. The contraption/syringe that you have to stuff the icing into is just way too small. When you finally load it and the kids start pressing down, it just plops down icing at the same point for each revolution.
At the end of the day, it was fun for them, stinky for all of us and too darn messy. You are better off with supervised baking then this junky mix. Wonderful idea, but the flavoring needs to be tweaked majorly. The kids licked off the icing and then proclaimed they didn't want any more. TYPICAL!

Save your money!Sep 27, 2008
By Sad Baker
I reluctantly purchased this for my daughter, and I am so sorry I did. It takes less time and mess to make cupcakes from a mix and let your daughter or son frost them with canned frosting. The contraption to twirl the frosting onto the cupcake makes it come out in a big glob and actually flung some right onto the floor. It wasn't pretty like on the commercial, and my daughter got so frustrated she was almost in tears. The cupcake is simply a microwave cupcake that looks disgusting. We haven't tasted it yet. The maker comes with only 4 mixes and 4 frostings, which means you can make a total of 4 cupcakes for $30. I've seen additional mixes for $12. If it was really fun and easy, I wouldn't be so harsh, but the whole thing was a huge disappointment.

 Disappointing messOct 09, 2008
By Linda Majors
"timlindam"
Although this is a cute little cupcake maker, the cupcakes it produces are not (at least the frosted ones). The cupcakes cook quickly and quite well in the microwave, but the frosting part is a rediculous mess. The frosting is gritty and lumpy and is either too runny or comes out in globs. My daughter has enjoyed making them and says the cupcakes taste good though, so I guess it wasn't a total waste of money.

Go ahead and buy it if you want to create tears!Dec 03, 2008
By S. Wintermantel
Wow, this hunk of junk was so bad, I don't know where to start. I had 4 kids and 4 packages of cupcake mix. That was the only good thing that came of the whole fiasco!
The mixing and "micro-baking" went well and everything was good until we hit the icing point. This contraption literally slung blobs of icing and unfortunately most of it landed and dribbled over the sides of the cupcake and made a mess. No way was this icing experience even close to the commercial version. *tears* from my daughter.
I get out a spreader and manually spread icing on top of the cupcake and let her decorate it. The worst is yet to come...
As soon as she peeled the cupcake paper liner away, the cupcake literally crumbled. She had a fist full of cupcake *more tears*.
I think it had something to do with the microwave "baking" because every single cupcake crumbled the same way. Shame really.
This is one Birthday present that will get put into the closet and forgotten about.
Next time we will bake "real" cupcakes!
Don't waste your money. Really.

Beyond Disappointed!Nov 17, 2008
By K. Folden
"Quality Concerned"
This product should be discontinued it is so bad. I read the reviews and was hesitant to have my sister-in-law buy it as a gift for my 5 year old daughter. She insisted that she wanted it so she got it! The cupcakes overflow when baking for the proper amount of time and then the so called icing machine throws icing everywhere but onto the cup cake! When you press the lever it spins the cupcake so fast that the icing flew all over us and the counter. Very little went onto the cup cake. It was a JOKE!! I wish I could get a refund for it. What a disappointment!
