This post probably falls under the category of “screwing things up in a small space.” Like many others, I read about this blog & book in a recent New York Times article. They provide a very funny look at how professional cake decorators create some of the craziest cakes you’ve ever seen by accident. Amazingly, there doesn’t seem to be an end to new material to share.
Author Jen Yates defines a Cake Wreck is “any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate — you name it.” Her inspiration for the book was the image that you see on the book cover (above left) which got her collecting images of “cakes gone wrong” and is now an Internet phenomenon.
For fun, join up with over a million others and follow @cakewrecks on Twitter. And, if you end up with a cake wreck of your own at your next event, send it into the Cake Wrecks blog. (Note: only professional/store bought cakes will get featured. If you happen upon a home-made cake wreck like several of mine, that won’t get featured on this site.)
