A cupcake kit that unpacks into a whole afternoon: a wire whisk with a turned handle, a wooden rolling pin, a small pastry brush, a flat utensil for smoothing frosting on, a small metal mold and 24 paper liners in red and white gingham. A recipe comes with it.
It comes in a square box with two children and a patient spotted dog painted on the front, the sort of picture you keep long after the cupcakes are gone. Your kid stirs, you catch the drips, and the counter ends up dusted with flour and a few stray sprinkles.

Why we love it
Baking with a kid is mostly waiting, and this gives small hands something to hold through every part of it. The stirring, the brushing, the long minutes by the oven door, then the first proud, lopsided swirl of frosting.
