I know the comic book community was buzzing over the Green Lantern cupcakes that popped up a few months back. They were pretty cool looking and despite the Justice League branding, it was just DC laying the groundwork to help get the character some more recognition for the movie comes out next year. But then I saw these…
Sorry it's blurry. I just didn't feel like taking another picture, okay?
Flash cupcakes!
Not that I’m complaining. I love seeing someone from DC besides Superman and Batman get a piece of the licensing pie. So it’s nice that they’re really going for it by pushing the Justice League brand (if you consider Flash and Green Lantern cupcakes as “pushing it”, I know I do). Could Martian Manhunter cupcakes be too far off?
Now, as cool as this is, I’m puzzled by one of the selling points.
8 Individually Wrapped Scary Cakes. “Scary Cakes”? What’s so scary about the Flash? Is that just what they call this particular cupcake all year round? How does this connect to Halloween? The Flash isn’t some type of creepy or supernatural comic book character. The cupcakes have no obvious Halloween look either. The red frosting and yellow sprinkles as based off of Flash’s color scheme.
C’mon, if they had Solomon Grundy or a Black Lantern or any villain I could buy this as being “scary” and related to Halloween but the Flash? You’re really stretching it, Hostess…
