Gluten Free Baking In Our Easy Bake Oven!

My girls received their first Easy Bake Oven for Christmas, and of course, the first thing they wanted to do was make some delicious pint sized treats for the entire family.  I obviously can't use the mixes that came with the oven, so I found this delicious recipe online and it was fabulous!  I am going to try out some of our cake mixes that we carry and I'll report how they turn out.  If you have kids with an Easy Bake Oven, you'll love this recipe! 

Here is a recipe that make 4 cakes, plenty for everyone to share!
