KATIE: Waffles, it's not a hat. It's the whip from Glogirly's mixer. Don't touch it.
WAFFLES: Glogirly has a WHIP???
KATIE: What did I say about touching it?
WAFFLES: So what was Glogirly whipping?
KATIE: Cupcakes. She was baking cupcakes for our party today. Our guests are arriving any minute now.
WAFFLES: Cupcakes? What kind of cupcakes?
KATIE: Hummingbird cupcakes.
WAFFLES: HUMMINGBIRD cupcakes? Like REAL hummingbirds?
KATIE: Waffles, don't be ridiculous. Hummingbird cupcakes don't have real hummingbirds in them. That would be crazy.
WAFFLES: I don't know. I don't think chicken cupcakes would be crazy. I'D eat a chicken cupcake.
KATIE: Waffles, there's no such thing as a chicken cupcake, a turkey cupcake or any kind of poultry cupcake. Cat's don't even EAT cupcakes.
WAFFLES: So how did she get the hummingbirds inside these cupcakes???

She was still whipping up the frosting when she took this photo but rest assured, there's frosting in their future.
