Cutie Cakes Dolls

Undoubtedly the sweetest dolls on the market, these new soft-bodied cuties are Manhattan Toy’s latest offering for three-year-olds upwards.

Five different fantastic flavours are available, including Jelly Bean Bella and Chocolate Chip Charlie (pictured), as well as Bubble Gum Bitsy, Pistachio Penny and the lovely Lemon Drop Lulu.

These dolls start out looking like little decorated cupcakes, but convert easily from cake to 10cm-high doll by pressing on the top of the cake and watching the pretty doll emerge from the bottom, the fancy icing turning to pretty patterns on a skirt. The dolls are priced around £12.99 each.

Each doll also has her own special pet, available separately for around £9.99 each. The two pictured belong to the dolls above; Bella owning Beary Panda and Charlie having Chocolate Chip Puppers.

Also available are Bubble Gum Bitsy’s little Hopper, a cute little Froggy for Penny and an adorable Kittie for Lemon Drop Lulu. Each pet is 5cm high and lives inside its own little cupcake house.
