Barbie Career Cake Decorating Playset with Blonde Baker Doll

First impressions were great on this product, the concept was exciting for my 6 year old and something new that we hadn't seen before. The set up was easy and instructions were clear. Initial responses to the play doh were that the it didn't smell very nice although the smell did fade as time went on. The functionality worked well although there is a knack to getting the cake rise correct, the child must make sure they hold the unit down while pulling the leaver as the unit is not quite heavy enough (understandably) to not fall over when using this 'cake rise' function. Instructions were clear on how to get any extra small amounts dough out of the oven part so that was great. The set as a whole had lots of accessories and a doll also and this was a big hit, the playability was good and engaging, especially as after the initial 'cooking' process there were things to 'decorate' the cakes with. Overall really quite impressed with this product.

Great kitchen, lots of creative elements and hours of play. However, I would have liked a fashionista instead of Millie more. I hope Mattel makes a refrigerator available to compliment this kitchen and overall keeps the height of the counter and colors in co-ordination to match extra appliances. I was hoping to save the back but glue on the plastic ruined it. I really loved the background colors...
