Who knew that cupcakes weren't immune to the age-old battle between beauty and brains? You've already seen the poster child for the former, those cute Sorting Shapes Cupcakes by Learning Resources, so now it's time to take a look at the representative of the latter.
The Little Tikes Cook 'N Learn Cupcake Set
($10) is designed for use with the uber-smart Cook 'N Learn Kitchen ($100) but can certainly be enjoyed without it. The RFID tag embedded into each cupcake, which enables the interactive kitchen to recognize it and teach children about sorting and shapes, is rendered utterly useless without the kitchen, but why expose kids to Big Brother so early, anyway? They'll know soon enough that a traffic cam, security camera, or some other eye in the sky is watching and recording every move they make outside, so why bring the freaky "I know what you're doing" technology into their playrooms?
