Confused Confections
‘Lost' Inspired Cupcakes Go Missing in Bellies
These ‘Lost’ inspired cupcakes are more than delectable, (as my stomach grumbles as I stare at various little cakes) they are greatly creative. As someone who doesn’t watch the show consistently, these cupcakes inspire me to check out the show, just so I can understand why these little confections look so delicious and a whole bunch of other questions. What do these symbols means? Why is there a polar bear? How fast can I stuff one of these babies into my mouth? Who knew that desserts could actually encourage a new viewer and maybe a new fan?
