There’s been a lot of Christmas talk these past few weeks, but it seems like we’ve left someone out. I don’t want you to think that we forgot about the little one in your life! Today, we’re going to focus on what your daughter, niece, cousin, or really any child with an affinity for sweets would like this holiday season. I think the best thing about tasty holiday treats, besides how delicious they are, is their festiveness. Although a holiday cupcake’s high level of festivity tends to drastically decrease its lifespan, it’s still a good thing (maybe not for the cupcake).
The Mini Cupcake Maker (Perpetual Kid, $29.99) is basically an Easy-Bake oven, but so much cooler. For one, you’re not cooking with the heat of a light bulb so it’s a lot faster – think just five minutes for each batch. Also, you don’t have to use those expensive specially packaged ingredients. Instead, you can pick your baking materials at whim, creating cupcakes, muffins, and even brownies in just about any flavor you can think of. My favorite part? The whole thing is covered in a nonstick coating, so cleaning up is amazingly easy. That’s right, easy cleanup is exciting to me. Deal with it.
Ok, so while this would be a great gift for a child (supervised, of course) or tween, I think adults would really enjoy it as well. I say that mostly because I love cupcakes and would be more inclined to make them if it was this easy. Kids, now you know what to get your mother for Christmas.
