Why we LOVE this product!
Every kid wants to make a volcano erupt, and this kit lets them eat it afterwards. The eruption is the moment they remember, and it's built on a real chemical reaction they can explain.
Reviewers on the maker's site say the instructions are easy to follow and the eruption is the highlight.
Two things to weigh: it makes 4 cakes, so it's a small batch for the price, and it's a sweet treat, which some parents have noted.

About
I'm The Chef Too!
I'm the Chef Too! was created to bring together the joy of cooking and the excitement of learning. Founded by former teacher Lisa Wallace, the brand grew from the idea that children learn best when they can explore concepts in fun, meaningful, hands-on ways. By combining baking with science, technology, engineering, art, and math, I'm the Chef Too! transforms everyday kitchen activities into opportunities for discovery.
Each themed adventure invites children to make something delicious while exploring a subject that sparks their curiosity. They might create galaxy-inspired donuts while learning about space, bake erupting volcano cakes while discovering chemistry, or make treats inspired by animals, history, and the natural world. Kits include pre-measured dry ingredients, illustrated recipe cards, specialty supplies, and educational activities to help make each experience engaging and accessible.
Designed for children ages 4–14, I'm the Chef Too! encourages creativity, problem-solving, experimentation, and confidence through play. The activities also give families a chance to step away from screens, work together, and share the satisfaction of creating something from scratch. By making STEM learning tangible, interactive, and delicious, the brand helps turn time in the kitchen into an adventure children can look forward to.
