[serious] should i buy an easy bake oven?

[Pharrell Williams]

I know I have been making a lot of bad threads out of protest of the lounge's bad jokes but this is a serious thread and I think it might be a great idea.

So I find that I often crave sweets, especially cake, but I also want to be healthy and can't just go buy a cake from the grocery store. An Easy-Bake Oven offers small portions so I can just have a little bit but feel like I ate a whole cake. This seems like the perfect solution to my problem. However, is it worth it as a 22 year old man to face the judgment of my family and peers just to taste some of that sweet, sweet cake? Thoughts?

Thanks and god bless.

Yes.

Just buy a small muffin pan.

This sounds like a bad idea.

You presumably have an oven. Master the muffin pan. Use YouTube as a guide.

Mini pizza tarts, quiche, cupcakes, muffins, omelettes, miniature chicken pot pies, etc.

You'll avoid the embarrassment of using a children's toy to cook.

But that is too many cupcakes at once.

What if I just want the one though?

One small cake, or one muffin-sized cake?

One small cake, or one muffin-sized cake?

One super small, muffin-sized cake. A taste of sweet, sweet cake without being very many calories. What a dream.

Are you an avid baker, by any chance?

You talk about a fondness for miniature cakes and pastries, but do you have the ability to even make one?

If not, perhaps you should wander over to your local grocer, and buy the cupcakes you crave.

Use a muffin pan, but fill just one cup with batter.

Here's a tray being used to make five muffins.

I will have you know that I am, and that CLEARLY if you READ the THREAD, you would recognize that that would be TOO MANY CUPCAKES AT ONCE. I don't need this negativity, this is a great idea and you know it.

It just seems so inefficient. What a waste of pan slots. Plus you can take an Easy Bake anywhere, I could keep it in my room, take it on camping trips, etc. I'd be the life of the party. "Hey Smokebyrd, send another one of those mini brownies my way." "You got it, fellow partygoer."

 

[JA]

If you aren't picky about flavor or texture, you could use a microwaveable cup to do cakes in the microwave. Search "one minute muffin" on YouTube.

If you want more mini brownies, use more pan slots. You expressed that you wanted to make one muffin-sized cake; the obvious answer is to use one pan slot.

What if I just want the one though?

You also expressed concerns about the effect that using an Easy Bake Oven would have on your relationship with others. If you feel that owning one will enhance those relationships, go buy one.

I've tried mug cakes, they've never come out any good.

And I would only be making multiple at a party etc. And if I'm going to somebody elses' party, it seems intrusive and rude to use their oven. Bringing my own would make me the cool Easy-Bake Oven guy and everyone would love me.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

True, now that I think about it, there are absolutely no drawbacks to buying an Easy-Bake Oven.

Have you checked the prices?

Nothing from the Easy-Bake ever comes out good either.

Does every oven come with a free MLP tshirt?

 

[JA]

The muffin pan method is more efficient and yields a tastier result. Everything in the Easy-Bake has to be a cookie, and there's still a 15-minute cooking period.

If your dream is to bake one muffin-sized cake, it is impossible to achieve with the Easy-Bake.

To make one muffin-sized cake, you will need to bake multiple layers. Be ready to spend upwards of 45 minutes on it.

It just seems so inefficient.

Everything is cheaper on the internet, bub. Just gotta know the right places. If I have to go to the dark web for some of them sweet cakes, it will be worth it.

Everything comes out good from the Easy-Bake, including friendship.

Get out.

Well that looks legit. I stand corrected.
