What toy turned my daughter into a beachside pastry chef?

The Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Sand Baking Set turned her into a beachside pastry chef. She spent an afternoon making sand pies, cookies, and cakes, presenting them on the included tray. The molds are simple for independent use after one demo, and the set holds up through multiple beach trips without cracking or fading. It sparks open-ended creative play with no right way to use it.
