So I recently checked out My Girl Gourmet's Cupcake Maker - I thought it was the cutest thing, I ended up running out to Target to pick it up for a birthday party we were attending that weekend. So what is it?

It's a toy for 8+ but of course with the help of an adult, this is a good product for family fun. My 4.5 year old son just loves to bake, be it cookies, bread or cupcakes. He had a blast checking out Girl Gourmet's Cupcake Maker (I didn't tell him it was for girls, of course - shame it's not the "unisex Gourmet Cupcake Maker"), where you can make the cupcake itself in 30 seconds with the help of a microwave. The fun in this toy is frosting and decorating the cupcakes. Everything you need comes in the set - you can order more refill packs to make other various flavors of cupcakes.

You can view an instructional video on the Girl Gourmet website, and buy it at various retailers. I got it at Target, they also sell it at Walmart and it retails for $29.99.
