Hello there sweeties! I am sad to say but this may be my last post here on All Things Cupcake. I have loved working here at ATC but we are currently having some issues and I may not be on the payroll anymore. So after almost 4 years here, I am going to do what I always wanted to do- I am going to make a post about my own cupcake stuff in my Etsy shop!  It is called StayHomeCupcake and it is full sweets and treats.   I have a passion for crafts and sweet crafts are my utmost love!

So stay in touch cupcake fans! Find me (StayHomeCupcake) on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter.  Thanks for the past 4 years!

This Valentine cupcake plush and rope dog toy is the perfect Valentine’s Day present for a little dog!  It’s only $3.99 on the Petco website and if your dog loves playing Tug-o-war like mine does I’m sure he or she will be happy with this toy!

Growing up I remember my siblings and I always played with the same monopoly movers, for some reason I was the thimble.  Now that I’m older Hasbro has made my cupcake loving dreams come true! Monopoly Junior Party has crazy cupcake movers! If you look at the picture above you can see the green and yellow cupcakes that are used to move around the board. The games only $10.99 and there are four different colored cupcake movers!

Last week at Target I noticed this cute baby cupcake rattle by Fisher Price Toys.  It’s available on the Fisher Price website for $5.00 or $4.84 in Target stores.  I wish I needed a baby gift and I could give a baby it’s first cupcake!

Romp is a great website for children’s toys, accessories, and room decor.  They have a set of four plush cupcakes for $36.00 that are prefect for toy kitchens.  There is also an it’s a snap headband that comes with two snaps, a cupcake and a puppy for $20.00.

Have you seen these Yummy plush cupcakes?  I have no idea what I would do with a 15 inch plush cupcake that costs $75.00 but the smiling face makes me want one!  There are also mini 4.5 inch plush cupcakes that come in three different colors and are much more affordable at only $15.95 but the larger cupcake is much more fun!

I remember the Legos I grew up with were the basic primary colors and we mostly built towers and cars.  The Legos I had definitely were not as exciting as this creative cakes set that is available for $24.99.  I love that this set gets girls more involved in playing with Legos, allowing them to make cakes or cupcakes and the lid doubles as a serving tray!

Growing up in Connecticut I remember it was always fun to visit the Stamford Connecticut mall.  The mall had crazy escalators that seemed to float in mid air as they transversed from one level to another across the center of the mall.  The mall had an A&W All American Food which as kids seemed like a special treat.  Most importantly, located inside the mall was an FAO Schwarz toy store.   As a kid, it was hard to beat a toy store, especially one as great as FAO Schwarz, which is now one of the oldest operating stores in the US.

The FAO Schwarz store is long since gone from the Stamford Mall but the New York City and online stores are still open.  I was looking around the online store and was excited to find some awesome cupcake items.  My top favorite is the FAO Exclusive Pinkalicious 12.5 inch cupcake backpack!  Although it’s small the $14.99 backpack is really cute and I know little girls would love the backpack shaped like a cupcake after having had a heart shaped backpack when I was little.

Little Tikes Cupcake Kitchen from Amazon 

Some of its amazing features are —

If I had had this amazing toy as a young child, my life may have been very different. I may just have picked up my love of baking at a younger age and maybe by now I’d have my own bakery! Alas I had a Mickey Mouse camera as I child and am now full blown in love with photography because of it.

When I have children, I will be sure that they have this great toy!

As you all know, cupcakes are really all the rage right now (we hope they will be forever! ). And they are not showing any signs of slowing down in popularity. They are so popular that there has even been a board game for kids centered around cupcakes.

Take the Cake sold at Amazon!

Lets get playing!

Remember last year when we showed you Pottery Barn Teen’s Cupcake costume?  Well they are offering it again this year and it’s available in teens, kids, toddlers and baby!  To add to the Halloween fun they also have this cupcake doll costume so that the 18 inch doll can wear the cupcake costume!  The outfit is on sale for $19.99 and the doll which is part of the girl doll collection is $39.00.

Are you a collector of cupcake items?  Going to a cupcake-themed birthday party and looking for the perfect gift? Disney has just come out with some really cute cupcake-shaped vinylmations, designed by Susan Foy.  There are six in the collection, but you can view the Minnie cupcake, Tinker Bell cupcake, and Marie cupcake online. These vinyl figures are all 3 inches tall and each one includes detachable frosting which reveals each character’s face when removed.  Another cool feature is that the arms and head can be moved into different poses.

Oh my gosh, these are just too adorable!  Amy at Naptime Crafters made this awesome cupcake matching game for her daughter!  How clever is this?  Visit her blog for complete instructions as well as a (free) downloadable pattern!  I am so impressed!  Thank you Amy!

Melissa and Doug obviously love cupcakes since we have shared with you before their bake and decorate cupcake set.  With beach season not quite over yet there is still time to get use out of their Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Kit.  The 12 piece set which costs $14.99 includes a cupcake sand mold, a baking tray with liners, cupcake toppers and an icing tool.  The twelfth piece, which is the part I liked the most, is the mesh bag included for storing the set.  There is nothing worse than losing toys at the beach!

While vacationing with my family in Vermont a few weeks ago we visited the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.  I was very delighted and surprised to see a cupcake bear in their gift shop.  Not only does it have a cute pink and yellow cupcake on it but it also has a vanilla cupcake smell!  They also had gumball, grape, beer (huh?)  and popcorn scented bears but the cupcake one caught my heart very quickly.  Online they have a bouquet of three bears for $69.95 but in if you live in the Burlington Vermont area, you can go to their store and buy just the cupcake one for $24.95.

I always see cute key covers like Robots and Monsters, but I had never seen Cupcake Key Covers until now!

I found these at FredFlare.com.

Pottery Barn Kids has a realistic looking toy version of everyone’s favorite food.  They have a cake and cupcake set made out of fabric, making it safe for little kids.  The set includes 4 differently designed cupcakes  for $24.00 and the cake which is purchased separately for $34.00.
