Review on Klutz Mini Baking Set by Ryan Rodriguez

Fantastic kit! I wanted to buy some crafts to do while we’re social distancing during the pandemic, and my daughter picked this one out.I wasn’t expecting it to come with so much stuff! I figured it would have a little clay, some instructions, and leave the rest up to you, but no - this kit comes with 8 bags of air-dry clay (a large amount of white, pink, and two shades of brown, and a smaller amount of yellow, green, red, and purple), cardboard cake stand and bakery box, two containers of plastic sprinkles, six styrofoam cake forms, two pie forms, two sheets of shiny cardstock accessories, two plastic tools, a nail polish-sized bottle of ‘glaze’, some mini muffin cups, some half-pearls, and a giant, full-color instruction book.The instructions are really easy to follow, there are clear variations for each project, and it encourages kids to be creative by showing lots of options and suggestions. My ten-year-old loves it and has been able to make adorable little treats that look like the ones in the illustrations with minimal assistance.I expected it to be like a polymer clay, but the clay is really light and airy feeling.A couple of drawbacks: the clay is really sticky and wet at first, more like a slime than a clay. You have to work it for a few minutes before it’ll form into a ball instead of trying to coat your skin. Also, the clay bags are not resealable, so you have to provide ziplocks to keep the clay wet.Overall, though, I am incredibly happy. This has been a huge hit!
