Well, there is a brand of ice cream named Breyers, so why shouldn’t we have Breyer cupcakes? Plastic cupcakes, that is. I am referring to a Classic/Freedom Series model that came out in 2019. Using the Morgan Stallion mold, Breyer (not the ice cream brand) released Cupcake, which was generally regarded as an ugly, weird concept. Chocolate with sparkly pink frosting on the top of the horse, this guy was meant to appeal to mostly younger collectors.
Cupcake is still current in Breyer’s line, and I was surprised that they released another cupcake style horse. Red Velvet was introduced as a 2021 midyear release, on the same mold but with a color scheme reflecting a red velvet cupcake. This guy has a deep, dark red lower half and an ivory frosting top finished with red sparkly decorations:
Apparently the original Cupcake proved to be popular, or I don’t think Breyer would have bothered to release Red Velvet. I wonder what sort of bakery treat they will come up with next. Raspberry danish? Bear Claw? Apple fritter? It will be interesting to see if Breyer continues the bakery concept. Dang it, now I want some scones…
