Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 02, 2023

I felt that one, I remember finding out that plastic wrap ruins the cake.

That Dill, so sympathetic!

Alice’s mother must not be the brightest bulb….

Scrap it off the plastic wrap and spread it back on the cupcakes!

This is why toothpicks were invented.

Who gets to lick the plastic wrap?

The upside for Alice is that she can lick the wrapping paper.

Poor kid.

In kindergarten the teacher had a ceramic cake that would be brought down on the child’s birthday and there would be cupcakes from the parents for us to eat. Those of us who had birthdays over the summer got to share the cake on the last day of school and there were no extra treats because the session was only 2 hours long instead of 4.

poor Alice

You have to spray the plastic wrap with PAM .

Uh-Oh, bat flavored cupcakes just aren’t the same without the icing. Alice is still the center of attention, but for the wrong reasons.

Pro tip- poke a hole in the center of the plastic wrap. Bring the four corners together and squeeze and draw your hand towards the center. Voila, instant piping bag!

Reminds me of a boat “vase” I spent hours carving for my grammar school flower show. Needless to say, all of my flowers died in the (soapy) water.

Sorry, no sympathy for flighty Alice. She was hogging all the icing she could, and now she’s seeking praise for the cupcakes “she” (ha!) made. She yanked the plastic off and the little icing there was stuck to it? Tough cupcakes, Alice. You brought this all on yourself. Miss Bliss is being more kind to you than you deserve. Boo hoo!
