In the 1990s there where hese cupcake dolls where you turn them inside out so they are a doll or a cupcake, I still have some and are wondering if anyone knows how much they are worth these days?

I remember those too. What were they called again? And why do you want to find out how much they're worth? Are you wanting to sell them?

From what I found on Ebay, the buy it now price for an old cupcake doll (there are new ones out now) is around $10.00 Canadian for a new one still in the box.

If they were worth more I would have considered selling the few that I have as I have found myself in financial trouble, but for now I shall keep them, I find it difficult to part with all my old toys from when I was little.

I understand that completely. It's good to care for your inner child. I used to have some of those dolls too. I kind of wish I still had them. Well hey how many do you have? Maybe one day you could sell some and keep the others. If you do decide to sell any, I might buy a couple off you :)

They are coming out with a new line of cupcake dolls. In fact they should already be on store shelves. If you're interested.

OP, I'm sorry that I didn't have better news for you. Older toys usually take a long time to appreciate in value. Seeing as these dolls were made in the late 80's they aren't considered antiques and they're still very easy to find, both new and used. That's why they haven't gone up in price.

Toys in general aren't really worth collecting unless they're limited addition. Even then, you won't get a huge return on your investment.

At least they mean something to you, you can't put a price on that. :)

I hope to one day pass them onto my children. If I can trust them :) I have a couple of the normal ones, one in a wine glass and one a jam jar. I'll let you know if I ever change my mind though, thanks for all your help eveyone.

There's a wine glass and a jam jar? I didn't know that. I had a blonde one wearing a pink outfit with blue polka dots.well can you tell me what those dolls were called so I can maybe try to find one? Thanks.

They were simply called cupcake dolls, if you search "ann jam" in Google images search you should see the jam jar one. I tried to add pictures to this post but it didn't work. :)
