For his return visit to the wacky Sharemore Hotel, Mr. Snore will be playing his violin at a fancy wedding. As he waits for his cue to join the ceremony, he admires the wedding cake . . . and notices that he's not alone in ogling that tower of frothy perfection.

But Mr. Snore, rushing the cake trolley from room to room, is going to do his heroic best to save that prize from sure disaster. --Editor
