Cupcake Baker Chef Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 10 in by Wizardi F07AM9-12-N01109D

Bring a little sweetness to the kitchen with the Cupcake Baker Chef, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a pastry chef in a tall white chef's hat decorated with holly, a fluffy white beard and a red tunic with a red-and-green argyle front. He holds a frosted cupcake in one hand and a little gold baking charm in the other, with pink-and-white striped trousers and black boots on a white base with a red scalloped edge.

A little collector's folklore: Christmas baking day is a tradition in many families, and collectors say a chef nutcracker in the kitchen makes sure every batch of cookies comes out of the oven just right.

Why this nutcracker: if you love baking or run a bakery, he is a charming change from the soldier. The holly on his hat keeps him festive, and at about 10 inches he fits a kitchen counter, open shelf or dessert table.

In the box: one Cupcake Baker Chef nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Collect the whole bakery in the series — rolling pin, mixing bowl and gingerbread tray (F07AM9-12-N01109A, B and C). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 25 cm tall (9.8 in). Christmas kitchen and bakery decor, and a sweet gift for bakers, chefs and cake lovers.
