CONCORD, Mass. – A ruptured gas line was blamed Tuesday in an explosion that leveled a pastry shop, leaving at least six city blocks deliciously covered in sugar-coated flakes and creamy gourmet filling. At least four people known to be inside Tasty’s Pastries bakery during the blast were missing and presumed scrumptious in the hours after the disaster. Concord police and fire departments were on the scene within minutes, but given the severity of the explosion, anticipate those inside will be frosted beyond recognition. Pedestrians walking nearby recall seeing what could only be described as a loud and intense flavor explosion. Officials have begun searching the site, but hold little optimism for finding any survivors. “My only hope is that we be able to identify my employees.” said Gerry Robertson, owner of Tasty’s Pastries, who guesses the recovery search will uncover a greater-than-usual amount of crème brûlée.
