Description
Be sure your little baker uses the oven mitt to remove these 4 delectable-looking wooden cupcakes from their cupcake baking tray. This special set has 3 dry-erase markers shaped like icing tubes to decorate the smooth, removable, wipe-off cupcake tops. With colorful baking cupcake sleeves and decorative wooden candles, these low-cal cupcakes will be the hit of birthday and tea parties! PERFECT FOR LEARNING:
Through make-believe play, children learn to understand the world around them, build vocabulary, and develop important social skills as they repeat the actions and rituals of the adults around them. This innovative play set lets kids re-enact an everyday activity--preparing food in the kitchen--in a best-of-the-everyday context: a birthday party! The multi-step activity works toward a specific goal (completing a decorated cupcake), which keeps kids engrossed and enhances focus. Lots of options along the way (Which topping where? What should I draw?) encourage creativity and problem solving too. And fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination get a workout as children place each cupcake in its sleeve, place the toppers and candles, color with the pens, and lift the cupcakes out of the pan.

Q: Some reviews stated the markers do not wash off hands and clothes. Is this still the case? This will be a gift so I would like to know if I should replace the markers before giving.

A: The dry erase markers in our Bake and Decorate Wooden Cupcake Play Food Set may not wash out of all fabrics. Markers are intended for wipe off icing surface only. The markers should not be used on any other components in the set.

Cute toy. Just wish the paper cupcake liners were not paper and disposable. A pretend plastic liner that can not be destroyed would have been better. Not sure why the makers chose paper.
kids love it!

My daughter loves this set. I got away with not showing her the icing was a marker until recently her cousin showed her. I had to put them away because the marker was getting everywhere. It goes on the cupcakes nicely but then immediately smears all over (hands, clothes, etc). The cupcake holders are also a huge let down. They are paper and clearly not going to hold up with a 3 yr old. They were flattened, bent, ripped, etc after playing with them a couple times. I ended up trashing them all. Silicone or felt wrappers would be better.
Great gift

The cupcakes are wonderful, and it is a fun set however the decoration markers are not washable. Don't wash off clothes or face so my grandson is sad we had to put them up.

I wanted to love this more. My kiddos played for a while and then then it ended in the toy bin. The markers are good and work really well on the cupcakes. Just didn't keep their attention

I actually didn’t realize these were real markers when we bought it. My toddler loves it, but it makes me nervous about marker getting everywhere. I would recommend coloring at a table and then wiping it off before playing with them elsewhere. A little expensive for what you get. Overall a decent toy but I wouldn’t buy it again.
Good product

Like how "easily" frosting comes off. Not thrilled with the markers - think they could be hard to "erase". Children may think it is actual frosting

This is the cutest, most fun cupcake set! My daughter loves redecorating the cupcakes with the markers (icing). It comes with an oven mitt and cupcake holders. It’s such an awesome mix of creative/realistic pretend play!
