September 23, 2009: As a fan of the CakeWrecks blog, I pre-ordered the book. When it came in the mail, I literally read the whole thing in one sitting.
It made me laugh out loud...and made those around me look at me like I was insane. Hysterically funny. Definitely a coffee table book - and I know people have already picked up my copy and laughed out loud as well!Great book, great gift. Heck, just great!
