Everyone wants a cinnamon roll with googly eyes



It's springtime, and for My Paper Crane, that means new teeny keychains made to look like breakfast food! The company teamed up with hipster toy company Kid Robot to bring us a happy coffee in a to-go cup, a cheerful strawberry, and a stack of pancakes complete with butter pat nose.

I've blogged about Kid Robot before, but a new line of plush accessories just has to be celebrated (sorry, sometimes girliness just gets the best of me). And admit it: even the toughest, most cold-hearted person alive would have to struggle to not crack a smile at these cute little guys. If you're embarrassed, just tell people you're ordering them for a kid, and then hoard them for yourself. At only 5 bucks a pop, you can definitely afford both the grapefruit half and the cinnamon roll, and still have room for lunch. (And the keychains can be removed to turn the toys into rad zipper pulls).

Breakfast cereal friends from KidRobot

If you've got kids, or are remotely familiar with popular culture and design, then you probably know KidRobot, a line of "designer" toys. Now part of the KidRobot collection are 2" tall figures of our favorite monster cereals, Franken Berry, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry. The toys are sold as part of a "random assortment," which I don't totally understand, but according to KidRobot, it "means that each item ordered will be picked out of the series at random." So you may not want to start your day off with a sugar rush from the cereal, but you can certainly say Good Morning to their spokesmonsters!

Tip of the Day

Your recipe calls for butter or another fat. Depending on the quantity called for, there are different times you should add it.
