Hearthstone's iconic and delicious ranked card back, Cupcake, appears to be returning to the Hearthstone shop in the near future!
Thanks to data found in the client, a new license has been added to bring it back to the store. Originally released in April 2015, this card back is ultra-delicious!

Did they alredy put it for sale? i was playing since scholomance launch and it never showed up in my shop, did they actually don't relauched it or my game trolled me and i losed it?
When does this drop?
My first and favorite card back. Definitely worth owning!!
I took a 6/7 month break from Hearthstone once and this is a cardback I could not get because of that. So I AM gonna pay My 500 gold for it :)
This was my first new card back. I worked hard for it at the time. Just like I don't deserve the Naxxramas card back (because it predates this one), nobody who didn't get this at the time should have it.
But whatever. I won't have Naxxramas because I don't want to pay for it. LoR is making their money by monetizing their cosmetics; makes sense that Hearthstone should do this.
(Though, really, they should do it with NEW card backs...)
Cupcake? No! I want Molten Core, pleeeease!
This card back is the first one I missed, and I was trying for it until the last minute but I was one game short. I know some people don't think old card backs should comeback, but it really hurt missing out on this one.
I started playing Hearthstone in December of 2014. I did not get the card backs for either December 2014 (Season 9, Gnomes) or January 2015 (Season 10, Maraad). Those are the two card backs that I really want -- I had missed the opportunity to get them because I didn't understand the game well enough.
I think it's an awesome idea. Having the different card backs is totally an aesthetic thing anyway.
I like having different backs to sometimes go with the theme of a deck. But at this point I've got so many, I'd rather save my money/gold for something non-cosmetic. Just a personal opinion though.
Glad another card back is returning, the road to certain stuff that I want is hopefully drawing near!
Though it's not one that I would use, I'll still buy it to add to the collection.
According to the card back info in-game, the Cupcake card back can be acquired "by purchasing it during the Scholomance Academy launch period."
I imagine it will start on Aug. 6th and be available for a few weeks.
nice, that means eventually Pirate will come back, yay
Also, off topic: has anybody else noticed that they changed the card art for Southsea Strongarm in Battlegrounds? She's a blonde now for some reason?
Yeah Southsea Strongarm changing is really weird, there's been a few other cards that have changed arts as well, like The Runespear now has more lightning coming out of it or whatever reason.
Oh also and her hat is now a different color.
I do like the fact that people can obtain cardbacks from 5 years ago. Although I do think that there has to be a red stamp on them to differentiate from the Month-reward.
To keep it more unique. I am pretty proud that I have all the cardbacks from 38 consecutive months!

I completely agree with you on that. I also own every single cardback to date and it pains me to see they slowly releasing old cardbacks. I really hope they dont bring all the old ones, cuz if they do there will be no exclusivity for the people who played from the very beginning.

lol, and when i had said that for Ragnaros card back, back then in this site, I got 200+ downvotes. Same with Tyrande.
Totally dude! They should just add a non-obtrusive red stamp to these beautiful card backs. One like this would be awesome! 
Then they can't make money from it, $ 2.99 / 500 gold. The reason for making it available in game is to make money.
That is a bit too much;). Maybe just swap the colorpattern like a shiny pokemon.
