A large black bear with a huge sweet tooth broke into a car to eat a stash of two dozen cupcakes inside and left nothing other than some smashed icing.
The chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry cupcakes were left in a car in Rockaway Township, New Jersey, NorthJersey.com reported.
Local baker Christine Allen left the cupcakes in her Honda SUV Wednesday night. On Thursday morning she discovered a smashed window and a paw print left by the culprit.
"He ate every single one," she said, prompting several people on social media to suggest a new advertising campaign for her business.
Allen said the cupcakes were intended to be the head start of a large order her Denville bakery received.
“Around 2 o’clock this morning the dog started barking and I started hearing a crunch, crunch sound,” Allen told the paper. Her husband, Adrian Allen, peered outside to discern what the commotion was and saw the bear.
Twitter users identified with the bear and likened his affinity for cupcakes to Winnie the Pooh’s attraction to honey.
