The adjustable measuring cup (see the photo above) can measure up to two tablespoons with the small cup and up to a half-cup with the larger one. While this device costs $18, it functions as both a measuring cup and spoon. And, the price is similar to that of both measuring tools and can take up less space.

When school season starts up, kids and parents will find themselves dealing with a lot more cake. Even in the face of various school restrictions, there will be cakes in class when birthdays come up and sheet cakes every few weekends at various parties. This cake knife animal is exactly what it sounds like - a plastic, serrated cutter that looks like an animal - and we suspect that it would be a big hit at kids' parties. After all, it is brightly colored and silly looking, and the idea of some sort of cartoon critter biting into a cake is probably enough to put a smile on any child's face. Because it is made of plastic, it is also safe enough to kids to handle on their own, although you'll probably want to supervise the cutting just to make sure the whole sheet cake doesn't end up in only 8 pieces.
