Bear helps itself to 60 cupcakes from a Connecticut bakery, scares employees...
Taste by Spellbound bakers were loading cupcakes into a van to make deliveries when they were surprised by a bear Wednesday morning. “It was a little shocking,” said Maureen Williams, an employee at the Avon bakery. “The adrenaline was pumping after that one, for sure.”

The black bear appeared from behind the dumpsters, and then went straight inside the bakery. Williams had a cake in her hands when she heard a noise. She yelled to scare the bear off, but it came back — three times — before she could shut the garage door. “It turned around, and came towards me, and he did what DEEP calls a ‘bluff charge,’ where he made kind of a huffing noise, and then he came at me a little quicker,” Williams said. “At that point, I knew I wasn’t going to shut the door. He was too close. So, I backed myself out and ran.”
Employees walked around the side to try and scare the bear, but it scared them and retreated into the garage. It then grabbed a container out of the van and dragged it into the back parking lot, where it helped itself to 60 cupcakes.
