Cake Frosting Gone Wrong!
Anyone who has ever made or purchased a cake, or even celebrated a holiday with a cake, will get a laugh out of this article and its subject, Cake Wrecks. You can only imagine the cake frosting mishaps and miscommunications that have given rise to these hilarious cakes.
Misspellings and pro baking train wrecks are the focus of Cake Wrecks, a blog and new book.
“Fortunately for Ms. Yates, an enormous number of those problems go unnoticed. She said she receives 50 to 60 Cake Wrecks submissions a day via e-mail, and usually posts between one and five photos each weekday morning. She posts only professionally made cakes (“It’s too easy and mean to go after your Aunt Sally’s cake wreck,” she said) and nothing excessively gory or obscene.
Much of the joy in following Cake Wrecks comes from Ms. Yates’s wry assessment of every plopped-out flower and bug-eyed snowman. She is particularly savage about punctuation mishaps, like when a baker omitted an exclamation point after the inscription, “Way To Go Bob.” Ms. Yates wrote, “Just try to read this cake without sounding sarcastic. Yeah. Exactly.” Beneath a Father’s Day cake that starkly announced “1 Dad,” the caption read, “Of all the Dads out there, you are one of them.”
