When Cupcakes are Outlawed, only Outlaws Will Have Cupcakes!

Mrs. C went for the "batter-y" joke. Being pelted with pastry is no laughing matter! (Well, maybe just a little!)

In the heat of a domestic dispute, a Chicago woman pelted her husband with cupcakes before police arrived to arrest her Saturday night, authorities said.

The sweet evidence of her crime was visible on her husband's head and shirt when officers responded to the home in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side, according to a police report.

On Sunday morning, Cook County Circuit Judge Adam D. Bourgeois Jr. ordered electronic monitoring for the woman and a $10,000 bond. She is charged with a misdemeanor count of domestic battery.

Ah, Chicago! That toddlin' town!

The fight started with a verbal quarrel about 7:45 p.m. at the home in the 4700 block of South Western Avenue, according to a police report, but escalated until the woman started hitting her husband over the head.

After that, she reached for the box of desserts and directed a fusillade of snack cakes at his head and body, her husband told police. Several of the confections apparently hit their mark, as the man's head and shirt were smudged with icing when officers arrived, according to a police report.

The cops arrested her. It was the yeast they could do! The icing on the cake was that her husband had been arrested for battery or domestic battery three times since 2003.

Maybe he was just getting his just desserts?
