But it turns out that trying to stuff it into your mouth is wrong, and there is actually a correct way to eat a cupcake if you're without a fork.

According to , a more 'gentlemanly' way to eat a cupcake is to first remove the paper case.

The part of the cake that has been teared off should then be turned over and placed over the top of the icing.

And by doing that you've created a sandwich which can be squashed together with the icing as the filling.

Then you can proceed to eat the cake without the worry of getting an icing moustache.

And the tip has wowed people on Twitter who wish they had thought of it sooner.

One person tweeted: "I'm a genius taking the bottom off a big cupcake and putting it on the top making it a sandwich.

One man wrote: "Just saw someone rip a cupcake in half and eat it like a sandwich.......why haven't I thought of this #mindblown.
