I agree the refills for this toy seem expensive, the cupcakes don't taste that good, and the frosting was too runny for the froster to work very well. The kids loved it anyway and would have made 20 cupcakes if we'd had the mix! It's cute, it's different, kids love it and that's the bottom line for gifts, isn't it? Thanks for all of your comments - I hope this helps!
We tried different consistencies and had the same problem no matter what. I did have all of the icing glob in one spot, no matter how fast or slow we pushed the icing plunger. As I stated before, each microwave is different and you need to experiment. Mix up a store-bought cake as usual and fill the cups to the same level as the Girl Gourmet mix and try it at the same 30 seconds. The only problem there is that you need to make a whole lot of cupcakes or make a smaller cake separately from the cupcakes your child is making. If you are still not satisfied with that, try a regular mix. THAT BEING SAID, all microwaves are different and for anyone who had tough cupcakes from the Girl Gourmet mix, you may want to adjust the cooking time down and see if that helps.
When we were without a regular oven for a bit I learned to make a cake in the microwave by cooking a half mix in a 9x9 pan for 10 minutes at HALF power. Hi, girls! This may get long and winded, but I want to cover all I can: You CAN use a regular store-bought cake mix for the cupcakes.
