Misplaced modifiers

Several weeks ago I commented on an add selling "sensitive toothpaste". Earlier this week I heard another phrase that gave me pause.  A news commentator talking about a young girl who has become a master cake baker, said that she made "talented cupcakes".  I assume it is the young baker who is talented but I could be wrong.  I have this lovely vision of cup cakes tap dancing across a table top and maybe doing cart wheels!
