They were at the home of their friend, Shing Lee. Her family had the biggest kitchen, but the kitchen looked small when it was filled with cupcakes. There were cupcakes on every surface. There were white ones and chocolate ones. There were even strawberry cupcakes. Some had red frosting and some had white frosting. A lot of them had chocolate frosting. “There’s even a few extra for us to eat,” Kendall said. He slumped into a nearby chair. They were all tired. It had taken them over four hours to mix up the batter. Then they had spent another five hours baking and frosting them all. “Oh no!” exclaimed Shing suddenly. “What’s wrong?” Kendall asked. “My pendent,” Shing said. “It must have come off.” Kendall and Jamie both looked at their friend.
