What Do Cupcake Theft And Goat-Keeping Have In Common?

Ever get the feeling bakers are just as confused by their cakes as we are?

A flag? A four? A cry for help? YOU DECIDE.

And what IS this?

Besides $24.99, I mean.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AERMICA.

Thanks to Amber M., Andrea W., Dirk E., Cortney S., Dave H., Melissa M., & Sammy Z. for helping us celebrate Aermica's special day.
