Happy Birthday, Cupcake!

(4) K-3 Cupcake runs her birthday party ideas past her friend Muffin, who finds fault with each suggestion (e.g., at a beach party, the sun would make chocolate guests "drippy"). As in Border's Peanut Butter & Cupcake, the story plays second banana to the food-centric photographs, for which he manipulated and augmented three-dimensional objects to incongruously droll effect (note Hamburger's frosted bun).
