I'd pick away at the frosted top, then collect the remaining pure cake in both hands, eating out of my palms like a crazed bird on a sugar high. And when no one was looking, I'd shove the paper in my mouth and chew it like cupcake gum.

I'm somewhat dubious-with a 20-cm candle sticking out the side of my head, I feel less like David Beckham than a human birthday cake-but this technique was used by the ancient Egyptians, and a civilization that knew how to extract the brain via the nose probably had no trouble removing waxy buildup.
