I hope you're finding the pastry,PUZZLE #53: ~ Pastries ~
Extremely very tasty.
Though cupcakes are the best,
Try finding some of the rest.
Do this when you need a break from reading.
You have until the end of the 7% Solution Challenge.
You can submit it as a Team, or send your best player to collect your cupcake.

Quick question, I am correct in thinking that cupcakes can be used in future Mod challenges, if we don't need to use them for this 7% challenge?

A third puzzle for a “bouncing” delight,
Spot the differences by moonlight.
It might be a little trouble,
Worth it though, for a book to count double.

For this puzzle there are at least eight (8) differences between the side-by-side pictures. They can be very, very subtle differences, such as high-light and shadow.
Third in series.

Hooray for another word search (pastry related, no less!) and another Spot the Difference! Those Spot the Difference pictures you're using are so pretty.
Look at all the "buddy reads" we're doing,
And there are several more brewing.
It is neat to check out the covers,
And talk about what one discovers.
PUZZLE #55: Jigsaw puzzle "June Buddy Reads" - here. Select "50 Piece Tri-Clip." Okay to post in thread.
Today on the Cupcake Spreadsheet I'll be a bit mute.
I'm going out to pick some fresh fruit.
Later tonight, when I get back.
I promise your updates I'll attack.![]()
A “bouncing” cupcake puzzle, a fourth.
And your book total goes north.
A “chunkster” counts twice as much,
Which is really a nice touch.

Umm, no. I missed a step. I'll edit post 529.
So, I just learned I really like tri-clips lol! I definitely am way better at the jigsaws than the sliders - those are bad for my self esteem ;)Puzzle 55 for WBY:
Thank you, Baroness Blue, for helping out Cadet Blue.
Hey, that rhymes! Captain Cupcake would be proud of me, I think. (At least it doesn't stink.)

You'll start off with "elope,"
and end in the city of sin.
No need for a priest or pope,
We're sure a cupcake you'll win!
