LEGO's New Birthday Cupcake GWP is Rather Sweet
LEGO has just revealed their upcoming Birthday Cupcake (40905) gift-with-purchase set, and it's actually quite charming. At 174 pieces, this brick-built cupcake comes with loads of customisable decorative elements, letting kids (and let's be honest, adults) create their own colourful cake design.
What makes this set particularly appealing is the play value packed into those 174 pieces. You get a chef minifigure complete with a balloon animal - a lovely touch that adds character to the build. The customisation aspect is clever too, with various tiles and decorative pieces that can be rearranged to create different looks. It's the sort of set that won't gather dust on a shelf.
Whilst it won't win any awards for groundbreaking design, there's something genuinely appealing about a set that celebrates birthdays and encourages creativity. It's the sort of thoughtful little build that parents will appreciate as much as the kids receiving it.
