The case of the missing cake

So I recently had a classic whodunit moment at a family party. My sister made this amazing chocolate cake, and before anyone could take a slice, it just vanished. I can’t help but wonder what kind of resolution would come out of this — if it were a case! Do we start interrogating everyone who was at the party, or just keep an eye out for chocolate-stained faces? What happens if this scales up to, like, a city-wide cake theft ring?

, the mystery of the missing chocolate cake drives me nuts! I’d definitely start by looking for those chocolate-stained faces — because let’s be real, someone probably couldn’t resist. Did anyone keep a list of who dove into the dessert table first?
