The CCA's

I've always wanted to watch an award show that was hosted by Christopher Walken. So from this point on, read in his voice.

Thank you all for coming to the First and Last Annual Cupcake Challenge Awards. This is a very special evening that a lot of talented cupcakes have been waiting for. Cupcakes are delicious. I like the ones with a surprise in the middle. It's like, your eating a cupcake, and then, BAM! An extra delight. As if cupcakes weren't delightful enough. Cupcakes are like little unicorns.
