One of our most popular role play toys is the absolutely gorgeous Honeybake Baking Set from Le Toy Van toys. The Honeybake range features deliciously decorated wooden toys for children who love copying adults in the kitchen. All of these gorgeous wooden toys are decorated with a beautiful and instantly recognisable pattern and are mentally as well as visually stimulating. Children love playing with Honeybake toys as they serve up high tea and cakes, bring you breakfast in bed or set about creating a culinary masterpiece with the baking set.
The utterly fabulous baking set consists of a pretend food processor, rolling pin, cake stand with a selection of beautiful cup cakes, a tray and finally a knife for slicing the very scrummy looking chocolate log. This lovely wooden toy keeps children happily occupied for hours.

i would love to win this, it would be brilliant for my little boy, he is autistic and has many food phobias (he will only eat fruit, toast, fish cakes and waffles!) i have been trying to introduce new foods with no luck as of yet :( it has been suggested by our health visitor to get some play foods that look 'non threating' (her words not mine!) and once he gets used to the play food then to slowly introduce real food too.
Not only could winning this help with his eating but it could help him with his imagination too (which he lacks too)
fingers crossed, good luck every one :)

I would love this as a pressie for my son and his younger brother. My eldest loves helping me bake, his favourite is fairy cakes and chocolate crispie cakes....this set would allow him to experiment on his own (without the mess ;))
I run a baking company from home and my little girl looses me to the kitchen a lot so I can fulfil my orders for my clients, this would be the ideal toy for her as she could then join me in the hallway outside the kitchen and pretend to make cakes with me. She adores all her toy food and kitchen appliances and has a phenomenal imagination she would just go nuts for this (cupcake was also her first word!!!)
This set is beautiful and would make a perfect present for my friends little girl for her and my son to play with together. Her Daddy is an excellent cook and she would love to copy him whilst he bakes.
This would be great for my little girl. She loves to watch cookery programmes so this would be ideal.
I would love to win this fabulous prize as every week I bake something with my son. He longs to join in but is too little. This would be a great way of letting his have his fun whilst I have mine!
My son used to be nervous of visitors and got over it by making them pretend cups of tea. I bet he'd love to put on a bigger spread with this lovely set.
I love baking and always try to encourage my 2 older boys to help me in the kitchen. My husband tells me off for getting them cookery toys, as he thinks they should only play with 'boys toys' like trucks and superheroes. But I think a wide variety of toys, particularly with regard to role-play, are important for their development. After all, I could have a budding chef in the midst!
I got so excited when I saw the prize on offer as I know that my daughter would absolutely love it. She has such a fab imagination and we are told the she practically lives in the 'home corner' at nursery. Our favourite activity to do together is baking so I feel that this toy baking set would tick all the right boxes for her and provide hours of fun :-)
I would love to win this beautiful set, I know my daughter would adore it and she loves playing pretend and it is so very pretty simply stunning. Also if my daughter allowed I know my youngest son would love to play with this set as well.
Thanks for the great competition.
What a gorgeous set, I have 2 little girls who would just love this my eldest daughter is 17 months old and she loves helping to bake cakes as does my son who is almost 4 they love mixing all the ingredients, they would get so much pleasure from playing with this... and without the mess :)
My daughter is 3 years old and loves anything to do with cooking, i think she is going to end up being a chef as she is always playing in her kitchen pretending to make me tea and biscuits... She would just adore this and i'd love to win it for her.
I would love to win this for my daughter, she loves making cakes and eating them but now it becomes more difficult with her little sister as she wants to grab everything and Cigs gets annoyed this is a great way that both of my girls can play together with cakes without causing the mess of cooking them!
I would love to win this for my little nephew and niece to play with.It's a gorgeous prize!
My two little girls would love this. They love to make pretend tea and bring it to me to drink, so a bit of cake on the side would be fantastic!
My sons and the children I care for love role play toys. I think it's important for the boys to be encouraged to play with kitchen role play etc. The best thing and the one item that has been played with tirelessly is our toy kitchen. The honeybake baking set would be a great addition to the kitchen and I'm sure the boys would play with it endlessly
Just dreaming of "no mess baking" fab!
This set is just adorable! I would love to give this to my granddaughter to play with when she visits. She would just love it, and It is so pretty that when not being played with, would look gorgeous just decorating her room.
Totally gorgeous, and I would bet most children (and parents, grandparents and aunties) would love it too. My little nephew is a wannabe domestic god, and would love playing with it - it might even keep him out of the kitchen when I'm cooking!!
I would really love to win this wonderful prize and donate it to my daughters pre school. She gets so much from going to pre school, it would be great to give something back. This would be great for the home corner.
I would love to win this as I am collecting toys to give to my local Christmas appeal for children who might not otherwise get a present. Im trying to see if I can win some between now and christmas.
I would absolutely love to win this for my little girl Poppy. She will be three in a few weeks and loves baking and cooking with me. She does have a beautiful play kitchen which she loves but does not have many accessories to go with it.This would be perfect. I have my fingers and toes crossed for this one. Its truly gorgeous x
I love baking and always try to encourage my 2 older girls to help me in the kitchen.I would love to win this for my little girls to play with.It’s a gorgeous prize!
I'd love to win this for my little boy for when he's older. Mainly because I don't want him to be afraid of the kitchen and cooking and baking like I am! Also it might encourage me to bake some cakes :) Lx
I would love to win this Le Toy Van baking set as my son loves to watch me bake but as he is intolerant to dairy and eggs he can seldom sample any. He adores playing with his wooden kitchen but the cake he has got has lost at least one segment. Please help make his playtimes fun.
Thanks
To enable Ezra to emulate his gourmet grandmother.
I would love to win this for my niece. She always bakes with her grandmother, and this would enable her to practice at home too! The food processor is amazing, what a lovely toy!
these would be perfect for my grandsons play kitchen he would be delighted if i won these
Would love to win the Honeybake Baking Set as its a brilliant gift my child will get.
Such a beautiful set...I have triplet girls who turn 1 on August 7th and this would make 3 little bundles of trouble very happy indeed! They absolutely love making a mess in the kitchen, this would be a much better way for them to hone their culinary skills!! Fingers Crossed! X
Because all children should own beautiful, traditional wooden toys - absolutley gorgeous!
My son would love to win this prize
I'd love to see the look in his eyes
When he realises what he's won
Although he might try and eat a bun!
He is interested in baking
And loves to watch what I am making
Please make his little day
And send him this lovely set with which to play
A guy has just started work with my husband. His wife died last year and he's bringing up his little girl on his own. This would make a lovely present for her.
Wooden toys are hard-wearing and durable. This colouful set would be great for my daughter to pretend making cakes just like Mummy. It will provide many hours of entertainment.
My Little girl would love this and would win. Her intteresrt in food is very high, always wanting to help out in the kitchen
I love to bake but my son is terrified of the noise the mixer makes as he has sensory issues with his autism. He doesn't eat cake because it is too sticky but he would love to enjoy birthday cake with his friends. He is a tube fed child and having his little play kitchen has really helped him. This would be a wonderful addition and may help him enjoy baking with me :)
I have a two year old nephew who would love to play with this set, I bake alot and when he comes up at the weekend he can play pretend that he's baking too. This set is make really well.
I have a beautiful 8 year old granddaughter and a gorgeous 3 year old grandson, we would love to be able to try this great bakery set out and show off our baking skills :)
My son would love this! We do a lot of baking together and he often sets up little pretend cafe's and shops in which he makes and sells cakes so this would be perfect! It's such a gorgeous toy, good luck to everyone, (but secretly I hope we win!) x
My 7 year old daughter loves helping me bake, especially a big chocolate cake
My daughter has Down Syndrome and learns best by copy,cooking is her favourite hobby
Mentally & visually stimulating toys are good, especially when made of wood.
I am going home to Sweden to see my little niece (and good daughter) for the first time in August and would love to be able to bring this gorgeous wooden baking set to her (it is soon her one year birthday). The way I know her from Skype I think she will love it.
Fingers X!

My Grandaughter would love this when I look after her. She loves helping me in the kitchen
It's beautiful and my daughter would go crazy for it. No mess and lots of fun. The best thing would be seeing the smile on her face when it arrives. Priceless. x
I know both my son and my niece would enjoy playing with this and it might just keep them quiet at nanny's house through the long summer hols.
My two sons age 3 and 6 love making cakes and this set would be perfect for them to role play together when mummy doesn't have time to make the real things. They
love making cakes with their play dough so they would absolutely love this set.
I would love to win this prize for my daughter, she loves cooking in the kitchen alongside me and this would be lovely for her to play with, and make me dinner without all the mess :)
