Baking With Vintage Toy Kitchen Sets And Collectibles

Do You Treat Your Toy Kitchen Collectibles As Gold Or Would You Actually Have A Real Tea Party With Theses Precious Collectibles?

Introducing The Little Red Hen Blog: On Family,Fiber, Food, Fun

So when I was poking around in some of my favorite kitchen related sites yesterday, I came across a delightful post on The Little Red Hen blog. This gal actually baked with one of her aluminum baking sets. She made mini cookies and cakes. How sweet is that. She does warn us to watch the oven as these mini desserts cook very quickly.

Collecting Toy Kitchen Collectibles

I have been collecting toy baking tools and utensils for years. I also have quite a stash of toy tea sets and baking sets. In the early years, I was very protective of my little kitchen-wares. I wasn't quite ready to have my daughters play with them because I was thinking of them as "collectibles". But now I am over it. How nice would it be to spend some time with your young child or grandchild and have a real Tea Party and actually baking with your toy kitchen-wares. Perhaps one way to think about these special collectibles is to set aside one special set or a few designated pieces for baking and continue to collect other pieces for your collection or re-sale.
