What effect does the protagonist being a cupcake have on the way this story is told? What effect does it have on your reading experience? Is there something you feel passionate about like Cupcake does about baking? If you had to do it for ten hours a day, do you think it would get less interesting? Cupcake makes a big sacrifice for Eggplant, giving up his visit to Turkey. Do you think you could do something like that for a friend in need?
