1963 was a lucky year for little girls. It was the year that the first Easy Bake Oven hit toy stores. In its first year, 500,000 kids took home the turquoise fake oven/stove top combos.
Since its creation, the Easy Bake has changed from turquoise to green to gold to white to pink. The classic, stripped-down model gets embellishments added each year, starting from mini dinner trays to a digital clock and microwave. In every era era, the Easy Bake Oven reflects the style and trends of the times.
Today, according to the Easy Bake website, more than 16 million ovens have been sold. There is even an Easy Bake Oven Gourmet Cookbook if young chefs want to get really ambitious.
