Jimmy Hoffa cupcakes

Unless you're as out of touch with the media as Jimmy Hoffa himself is, by now you must know that the F.B.I. has been searching for the body of the former Teamster leader on a horse farm in Michigan for about a week. A local bakery is getting into the spirit of the search in a way that I found a tad distasteful.

The hottest selling treat at the Milford Baking Company is its Hoffa Cupcakes, complete with a green plastic hand reaching out of a chocolate icing and sprinkle grave. It looks more like of a Night of The Living Dead cupcake to me. The local chief of police obviously sees the morbid treats as all in good fun since he bought six of them as a treat for the investigators.
