==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
The King has organized another birthday cupcake extravaganza! However, yet again several mice with a sweet tooth have proven to be a nuisance by stealing cupcakes. WHY does this keep happening?! The King needs the help of hunters to recover the stolen cupcakes and ship out orders.

CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
Upon arriving at the birthday celebration, you can pick up to three orders to work on at once from the heads-up display. There are eight different varieties of orders available, each celebrating a different year of MouseHunting! While you have a particular order active, you'll notice a few mice visiting your trap that originally appeared in the Kingdom during the order's respective year. These mice almost always carry a cupcake and a few even have other bonus loot with them!

====Collecting Cupcake Colby and new Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby====

</blockquote> -->
In order to lure cupcake carrying mice, you'll need either Cupcake Colby or a new type of cheese called Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby. The extra sweet version of Cupcake Colby will attract the various cupcake-themed mice more often and is the only way to attract the new Cupcake Camo and Cupcake Candle Thief mice!

*'''Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby'''
 
:Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby is produced by potions that are earned by shipping any cupcake order. Simple orders will earn you a single potion, however, more difficult orders will earn you two potions.
 
  
This extremely sweet cheese is a favourite of the various cupcake-themed mice at the party, including the elusive Cupcake Camo and Cupcake Candle Thief mice. These mice, with their especially powerful sweet teeth are known for stealing cupcakes and as such often drop one or more cupcakes when captured!

Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
::*'''15 Extra Sweet Cupcake Colby'''

====Rare Cupcake Sprinkles====
+
After the relentless barrage of Hailstones from the brave hunters of Gnawnia, the Frost King's icy powers are waning and the Great Winter Taiga is beginning to thaw.
When shipping an order of cupcakes, you can add Rare Cupcake Sprinkles to increase the reward you'll receive for shipping the order!
 
  
Shipping an order with sprinkles will always add either: 10 pieces of SUPER|brie+, 10 pieces of Magical String, OR 10 pieces of Glowing Gruyere Cheese (depending on the type of order shipped). Additionally, you'll also receive a handful of other loot items based on the order you shipped, with more difficult orders rewarding a greater variety of items!
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
  
You'll occasionally receive Rare Cupcake Sprinkles as a reward for shipping an order or inside a 2016 Birthday Treasure Chest earned by completing a Birthday Treasure Map. You'll '''always find''' Rare Cupcake Sprinkles inside of a Rare 2016 Birthday Treasure Chest!

::*'''Sprinkling Kit'''

====Types of Cupcakes====
+
The following changes have happened in the Taiga:
There are five types of cupcakes that can be found as loot while hunting with either type of Cupcake Colby. Cupcakes may also occasionally show up as the Gift of the Day to send to friends for free!
+
*Mice are no longer dropping Golem Parts or Pecan Pecorino
 +
*Mice in Cinnamon Hill are no longer dropping Compressed Cinnamon
  
Red, Yellow, and Blue Cupcakes are the most commonly found type of cupcakes. They're used in every variety of order. If you find yourself with a few too many of a specific colour, visit the General Store where you can exchange 12 of a single colour for 6 differently-coloured cupcakes.
+
The following things will remain the same '''until January 16''' when the event shuts down completely:
 +
*Golems can still be built and sent out
 +
*Cinnamon can still power the Forges in the Golem Part Workshop
 +
*Hailstones can still be fired at the Ice Fortress</div>
  
Green and Rainbow are harder to find than the other three cupcakes. More difficult orders will require more Green, and orders from year six, seven, and eight '''always''' require one or two Rainbow cupcakes. You'll also find these cupcakes in Daily Loyalty Chests and as rare drops from mice!

There are eight different types of orders you can fulfill, one for each year of MouseHunting! Later year orders require more cupcakes, but they come with greater rewards!
 
  
While you're actively working on an order, a few mice that were released during that year can be encountered. Although these mice may vary in power type weaknesses, their insatiable love of sugar has them on an out-of-control sugar rush. Mice you encounter at the birthday party zone will have weaknesses to '''ALL''' power types, although, their typical weaknesses are still likely to be their greatest. These mice drop cupcakes the most often so be sure to always have an order on the go!
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
'''Choosing orders lets you pick rewards that are your personal favourite!'''
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be '''removed from your inventory''':
 +
*Golem Parts
 +
*Animated Snow
 +
*Reinforced Ice Shards
 +
*Compressed Cinnamon
 +
