The scene of the confection.

🧁 Forensic Report: Evidence ID #001 — "The Cupcake Clue"

Filed By: Mayra Mains, Head of Incriminating Pastry Analysis
Division: Dead Wrong Investigations
Case Reference: DWI-0725-CUP

📍 Location Recovered:

The remains of one (1) red velvet cupcake were discovered half-crushed beneath the refreshment table at approximately 7:42 PM. No bite marks observed — suggesting deliberate placement rather than consumption.

🧬 Evidence Details:

  • Frosting: Cream cheese swirl, suspiciously smeared to resemble either a question mark or the number “2”.

  • Sprinkles: One blue heart sprinkle wedged underneath. Symbolic? Romantic? Or just tacky?

  • Liner: Torn. Possibly in haste. Possibly in guilt.

  • Odour: Deceptively sweet. Masking deeper secrets.

🔎 Notable Observations:

  • Cupcake paper contains partial fingerprint (left thumb, unknown match).

  • A single cat hair embedded in frosting. Mittens von Murder denies involvement.

  • Recovered image shows someone reaching toward the tray with their non-dominant hand — nervous behaviour?

🧩 Embedded Message:

Hidden under ultraviolet light (or when exposed to Mayra’s signature judgment), the phrase “He deserved it.” appears. The frosting was a cover-up.

🧁 Conclusion:

This is no ordinary dessert. This is a statement. Whoever left this behind knew exactly what they were doing — and who they wanted to see it. A treat with a motive. Sweet with a vengeance.
