I used an oven toaster-friendly recipe because I don't really have an oven. However, the green toaster oven from the Kawa(ii) Kitchen series can pass off as an oven for nendoroids. I also have a red one which'll look more like a real toaster oven, but I'm afraid it's lost in the mail again.

The Sylvanian Families range/oven set has hit local stores, finally. I took a box and studied it for a while. The prototype on the webpage has it in some faux wooden finish, but the set I saw was in brown and yellow. I wasn't too fond of the color and the trim; if I bought myself a set, I'd have to do some repainting, which I'm not really up to doing. There's also the complication of matching off-scale kitchenware with the stove. Either way it's going to look awkward.

By the way, I like how that back wall turned out:

Thank you very much! I had to improvise for a lot of it though.
