It reminds me of an experiment we did this week about antibubbles (water surrounded by a thin film of air rather than air surrounded by a thin film of water). There's a cool video at the site: http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/content/kitchenscience/exp/bubbles-that-sink-antibubbles/ Really cool. I’ll definitely have to show my 6yo.

Why does the cupcake behave like an elastic sheet calling forth repeat bounce-backs? And more importantly can that ingredient be removed without diminishing the taste? . . .this begs the question: what is the surface tension of a cupcake?

What's most amazing to me is that the last little drop (at the end of the clip) didn't even cause a ripple as it bounced. Wow.
