It is a game for children (and big kids alike) of 3+ and is suitable for 2-4 players. This game has been played lots of times by us now (sometimes several times a day) as my Daughter (the 5 year old games expert of the family) is absolutely in love with it.

It's a game that encourages children to share and be polite, as well as to use their skills in finding pairs, by sheer luck or by using their memory. They will get very excited as they build a tower of successful pairs and part of the game is to offer cakes to other players if you are unable to match and another player has the opportunity saying -

"Would you like a cupcake?"

The response naturally is -

"Oh yes please, thank you"

This game is typically Orchard Toys, with very colourful, thick card pieces that will encourage your children to play for many years to come and still be in good condition to pass on when they have outgrown it.

This is an educational game that emphasises table manners and learning to share while collecting and matching your cupcakes. It contains 10 different types of delicious cupcake cards (total of 40 cards), 4 different colour plate boards, 1 recipe board and 1 instruction leaflets. It is suitable for age 3+ for 2 - 4 players.

The objective is to collect the most cupcake cards on your plate board. When you are unable to match any face up cards on the table or your own pile, the player will check on other players' plate board. If the other player already has it, you will ask that player -

"Would you like a cupcake?".
That player should be encouraged to reply "yes please" and "thank you".

Both of my children aged 3 and 4 obviously love this game and we have played it countless times. They get so excited seeing the colourful cupcakes and have learnt different names for the different cupcake decorations.

To make this game more interesting, I used my mini cupcake holder to lay the card for display.

The quality of the cupcake cards are made from thick cupboard, easy to hold, smooth edges, bright and colourful.

After playing the game, Caitlin is able to speak the whole sentence "would you like a cupcake?".

Besides matching the cupcakes, we also use the cupcake cards to play snap.

Overall, I rated this 5 stars out of 5. It is another fabulous product by Orchard Toys.

This is a fabulous game. My 4 year old granddaughter received this for her birthday. I'm buying one for my 6 year old niece. I love playing it too and I'm 64!

This is a lovely game with a simple premise which is perfect for 3/4 year olds to help teach them matching skills and for practising manners.

I love the concept of this game as I'm a bit of a cakeaholic. The kids loved finding the matching cupcakes and counting out how many they had to see who had won. Great for shapes, colours, sharing and counting. Encourages social skills and manners too!

As with all Orchard Toy games, my two children loved this matching game. It is fun to play and helps to encourage sharing and nice play - which isn't always apparent with sibings! Good quality and I'm sure we'll get a lot of use out of it.
