Like, at best, you’ll be the creep who are the whole cupcake. At worst, you’ll be a bear. But with Dr. Oetker Edible Wafer Cases, you’ll be the life of the party!

As the name suggests, these cupcake wrappers are made of a wafer material that’s thicker and much more delicious than paper. They’re also bake stable, so you don’t actually need a special cupcake tin to bake them in; they will stand on their own on a flat surface while in the oven. And they’re both gluten and allergy-free, according to the manufacturer. What sorcery is this? In what did you receive your doctorate, Oetker–gastromancy?

The wafer cases are will run you just over $4 for a pack of six, and come in different assortments of pastel colors. Start stocking up now in time for April Fool’s Day, when you’ll be able o spend all day eating cupcake wrappers and making uncomfortable eye contact with people.
