join has a funny syntax in Python, in my opinion. It should be:

', '.join(sundaes)

Instead of:

sundaes.join(", ")

Here's an SO question about how Python's join is a little different. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/493819/python-join-why-is-it-string-joinlist-instead-of-list-joinstring

Change that line and let me know if you pass :).
