Looks like America’s cupcake craze has spread to the wild. Alicia Bishop and Glenn Merrill were throwing a birthday party for their son Jackson on Saturday when a bear literally fell through the roof and helped itself to what we can only imagine were irresistible cupcakes.
The 45-year-old father described in an interview how the bear must have somehow climbed to the roof before he heard a “cracking” and then watched a bear drop through the skylight into his living room. He said the bear landed just three feet from him, as reported by JuneauEmpire.com.
Merrill quickly joined Jackson’s mother in the kitchen, and the two watched the bear in awe from behind glass doors. “The bear walks over and puts its paws up on the table, and starts licking his birthday cupcakes, and I’m just like, you’ve got to be kidding me,” said Bishop, adding that the bear was “awfully calm.”
The couple forced the hungry bear back into the woods using bear spray, according to the New York Daily News.
