Still More Flash Cupcakes

Remember the Hostess Flash Cakes from last fall? Or the Flash cupcakes my wife made after seeing them? Or the Flash and GL cupcakes that Jeff sent in after seeing those?

There’s more.

Over the last few months, I’ve stumbled on several more sets of Flash-themed cupcakes online.

Enjoy the photos!
