THE CAKE IS A LIE

I'm sure you remember my delicious (if slightly lopsided, baking FAIL) cake from a couple of entries ago?
Well, I have naturally been hacking away at its spongy bulk, and this afternoon when I went to get some tea and cake (I know, I'm an old lady inside) something just seemed a bit.. weird.

So, of course, I took a photo to document it. I'm considering changing my name to Nancy Drew.



It's not the little chunk in the bottom that made me suspicious, because it's a pretty crumbly cake and bits just come away as you cut. I probably made that; no, what's strange is the NEATNESS of it all, given that it IS such a crumbly cake.
There's not a SINGLE CRUMB on that plate.
It's as though it's been licked entirely clean, but whatever was doing it didn't want to leave any trace!!

I am so perplexed. And a bit upset, to be honest - I had thought the wall-critters weren't actually entering my flat, which I took as a bit of a relief - you know, it could be worse type of thing, at least I don't have to worry about germs and contaminated food.

SIGH.

  1. I don't know, if it WAS rodents, I'm sure they'd eat the whole lot and not just the crumbs!!
    Maybe this is a slight bit of paranoia ;)

    i'm gonna have to agree with ink_13 - if it was rodents, you wouldn't have any cake left!!

    although, to be on the safe side, i'd perhaps throw out the rest of the cake.. sad, since it looks so delicious!
