Black bear crashes birthday party, eats all the cakes

A bear fell through a couple’s skylight as they were preparing for their infant son’s birthday party and chowed down on their cupcakes.

Glenn Merrill described the chaos of the surreal scene he witnessed in his home in Juneau, Alaska. "I was literally in the room, and I heard this cracking," he said. "And the next thing you know, there's this bear that, I mean, literally, fell right from (the skylight). It was like one metre away from me."

Merrill ran into another room and locked the door. His partner, Alicia Bishop, said the bear feasted on her son's birthday cupcakes.
