It seems that TSA views the icing on a cupcake as being a "gel" for purposes of the probihited items list.
TSA said earlier this week that its workers confiscated Rebecca Harris's cupcake at Las Vegas's McCarran International Airport because it was in a jar, which gave the screeners pause because of a 2006 plot involving liquid bombs. TSA rules prohibit passengers from carrying liquids in containers larger than 3 ounces onto airplanes, and the agency said the icing from Harris's cupcake exceeded the limit.
Really?
But they will let you bring a cake (fully iced, I presume) in your carry-on luggage.
Don't pack your cupcakes in jars if you're headed to the airport.
Oh, and if you want to see or taste the cupcake in question, you can check out Wicked Good Cupcakes in Massachusetts and try the newly re-named, "National (Security) Velvet."
