[General] General Digest, Vol 42, Issue 12 Cupcakes and TV

Tue Feb 14 10:54:39 CST 2012

Har har. My last message was in response to the "Makers Wanted" thing from
Proper Television.

As for the cupcakes, what about some kind of gimbal system? Have you seen
those "no spill" childrens bowls they sell in walmart and such. I think if
we constructed something like that and stuck it in the shipping box, then
even if it got turned up side down or whatever the icing wouldn't get
shmushed.
If we make a square gimbal to fit inside the box I bet we could even ship a
whole tray!
