Mmmm...Cupcakes

We're big fans of Melissa & Doug toys around here, and my kids love the M&D cookie decorating set, so I think they'd also have fun with the brand-new Melissa & Doug Bake & Decorate Cupcake Set. The nicely packaged set includes four cupcakes with wipe-off frosting tops (little bakers can "write" on the frosting with four dry erase markers in the shape of frosting tubes), decorative wooden candles with flames, cardboard baking cups, a wooden baking tin, and a cute red gingham oven mitt. It's a lot of stuff for a good price- just $15.97 for the set at Amazon.com. I think this is going to be become a popular preschool birthday gift....and keep it in mind for the holidays, too.
