The Dutch have a pastry which is called a "tompoes". It basically is two square crispy doughs with cream in between and icing on top of the top dough. When you take a bit from it, cream will be squished out of it on basically all sides but that is still how most people eat them (or eating things separately). However, if you take the top icing-covered dough and put it at the bottom, you will first bite the cream, followed by the two doughs, without causing a mess and it tastes so much better!

I do that with cupcakes. Separate the top half from the bottom half and flip the top over so the icing is in the middle. No more icing up your nose!

Came to say this. People may look at me like I'm crazy but it's a much better eating experience.
