If you haven't checked out the website CakeWrecks yet, you should do so immediately. Better yet, we have author Jen Yate's new Cake Wrecks book at the library! What is a "cake wreck" you ask? Yates defines it as "any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places." Some cakes are creepy, some are misspelled, some are unappetizing, and some are just plain wrong. But, they are all hilarious.
