This weekend we helped our sweet little neighbor celebrate her 2nd birthday. If you’ve been reading my blog for some time now you may remember the birthday gift I made for her last year, the Personalized Hanging Bow Holder.

This year because she turned two, and knowing my kids, I’m sure she likes to help mommy out in many ways…especially in the kitchen! 🙂 So I put together her very own baking set!

I bought the pink plastic locker bin at Dollar Tree and personalized it with vinyl that I cut with silhouette. (check out my tutorial for: How to Personalize Plastic Gift Baskets with Adhesive Vinyl and a Silhouette Cameo).

I then filled it with box mixes for cupcakes and cookies, along with cupcake liners, cupcake pan, cookie sheet (it’s really a brownie pan but I figured since she’s little this would be easier for her to hold), a fun whisk and spatula, and an apron. I tied them all together with a cellophane bag, ribbon and handmade card! Ta da!
