It was Crabbo’s birthday, and he was celebrating it in style. He had thrown a late-night beach birthday party for his friends. Everyone was looking forward to the cake-cutting ceremony. It was supposed to be a beautiful, special cake that Crabbo had got custom designed for the occasion.

The cake was safely stored in a mini freezer in Crabbo’s room at the beach house. As he walked towards his room, he took out his handkerchief to wipe off the sweat dripping from his face. The weather was uncomfortable. Not a single leaf had stirred in the surrounding trees that entire evening. Yet, Crabbo was glad because now the candles on the cake wouldn’t go out.

But when Crabbo took the cake out, he discovered that it was entirely ruined! Someone had smushed it, wiping off almost all the icing and decorations. Since he owned the beach house with others, it could only have been one of the three people who had access to the keys. These were Crabbo’s best friends, Clowny, Sharky and Puff-Puff.

But clever Crabbo could not be fooled. He caught the culprit immediately.
Who was it and how did he figure it out?
