“We did it,” Jamie yelled as she set down the last frosted cupcake. “One thousand cupcakes for the school bake sale.” They looked around. They were at the home of their friend, Shing Lee. Her family had the biggest kitchen, but the kitchen looked small when it was filled with cupcakes. There were cupcakes on every surface. There were white ones and chocolate ones. There were even strawberry cupcakes. Some had red frosting and some had white frosting. A lot of them had chocolate frosting. “There’s even a few extra for us to eat,” Kendall said. He slumped into a nearby chair. They were all tired. It had taken them over four hours to mix up the batter. Then they had spent another five hours baking and frosting them all. “Oh no!” exclaimed Shing suddenly. “What’s wrong?” Kendall asked. “My pendent,” Shing said. “It must have come off.” Kendall and Jamie both looked at their friend. She was feeling frantically at the chain around her neck, but it was no use. The pendent was gone. Can Kendall and Jamie help her find the pendant without breaking open all 1,000 cupcakes they have just baked? See if you can solve this 15-minute mystery before the Brodericks do.
