Sesame Street baking sets (Pillsbury)

In 1977, Pillsbury made two Sesame Street cooking sets for young bakers-in-training.

The Alphabet Cookie Cutter Set included 32 plastic cookie cutters -- one for each letter of the alphabet, plus six Sesame Street characters. Each alphabet piece was in the shape of a common word embossed with the letter that starts the word -- an apple for A, a bicycle for B, a car for C, and so on. The Sesame characters included Ernie, Bert, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover and the Count. The set also included a rolling pin, an illustrated plastic work mat, and an instructions pamphlet that featured "Cookie Monster's own special cookie recipe".

The Mix and Measure Set was a set of plastic bowls, measuring spoons and measuring cups, with images of Sesame characters embossed on each item. The featured item was a plastic eggbeater made in the shape of Big Bird, with the mixers as his legs. The eggbeater was repackaged by Wilton on its own in 1979, and sold as a Big Bird Beater.
