I'm not sure how it happened, but earlier this morning I ended up on a marshmallow gun hunt. They're sort of like a Nerf gun, but instead of soft, foamy Nerf balls, you get to shoot soft, fluffy — if not somewhat sticky — marshmallows. From marshmallow blower to marshmallow blaster, there's a marshmallow toy for everyone. To check them out, hit "start slideshow" below.

New Machine Turns Sushi Rolling Into Child's Play

YumSugar — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 14:48:31 -0700

While children in America continue to burn themselves on Easy Bake Ovens, the children in Japan are going burn-free. They might however, start giving off an odd fish odor.

Toymaker Bandai Namco has created a great new toy to help create perfectly rolled sushi. The Sushi-Rolling Machine works by adding rice and ingredients, and then sealing it up and rolling a piece of seaweed over it.

Personally, I think this would make a sushi party a snap. Imagine if you had a few stations and folks could roll their own?! They were released in Japan this summer, and I hope I can find one imported somewhere soon!

Twinkle in My Eye Cake

YumSugar — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 11:38:03 -0800

Let's face it, I'm a big kid at heart and I'm probably never going to grow up. That's why when I found this ridiculously cute felt tiered cake (and I mean ridiculously cute), I immediately squealed... outloud... just like a pig... (don't try and tell me that you didn't do the same). This adorable interactive cake includes over 50 "fondant" decorations and is made of 100% wool felt from Holland and upholstery foam. It's available from Twinkle Kids and costs $45. It's a little pricey for a toy, but having this in your collection would push any tea party into a whole new realm!
