Honestly, I was sure about whether to remove them or not.\u00a0 I think if I was to go back and actually eat the banana split, having the wrappers on the cupcakes might eating it a little bit difficult . . . but then if you were sharing it, you might want the wrappers so your cupcake doesn&#8217;t touch the other person&#8217;s spoon?!?!?\u00a0 I just don&#8217;t know!!<\/p>\n<p><iframe
