Well my loyal subjects, I must confess that even we Royals do succumb to mischief now and again. Yesterday as I was strolling through the kitchen I came upon, of all things, a freshly baked birthday cake. My human had been preparing this cake for her daughter's birthday, but there was no one about at the moment.

I being Royal and quite the professional taste tester decided that no good birthday celebration is complete without verification that said cake is worthy, I mean truly WORTHY of celebratory events!!!

Early in life we Royals are trained to find valuable items and certainly a freshly baked cake hidden under a towel at the back of the stove qualifies. Imagine my joy at finding the cake was better with each tasty mouthful.... oh dear, hmmmmm.... not much cake left. No one would notice all those tiny crumbs on the floor if I leave the cake plate towards the back of the stove. Oh yes, and no one will notice the crumbs all over the stove since they have fallen down into the flame pans.... Where is that footman with the dustbroom????

Alas my darlings.... the deed was discovered and I was exiled off the island for the remainder of the evening. A new cake was baked and is now hidden in the microwave away from my most capable testing jaws. I will have to go to the Royal chapel and pray that the humans are not disappointed without further Royal quality control.
