    Synopsis

    Have your cake and laugh at it, too, with the sweet treat known as Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong. From the creator of the ultrapopular blog CakeWrecks.com, here are the worst cakes ever, including the ugly, the silly, the downright creepy, the unintentionally sad or suggestive, and the just plain funny. With witty commentary and behind-the-scenes tidbits, Cake Wrecks will ensure that you never look at a cake the same way again.

    Since May 2008, Jen Yates has been blogging about such confectionery calamities at her popular Web site CakeWrecks.com, winner of the 2008 Blogger's Choice Award for Best Humor Blog, and three 2009 Weblog awards (Bloggies) for Best Writing on a Blog, Best New Blog, and Best Food Blog. Yates now offers up this inspired photo collection with over 150 Cake Wrecks, including 75 percent never-before-seen content.

    "I haven't laughed so hard in ages." --Mary Alice, from the Food Network's Ace of Cakes

    November 09, 2009: Cute Book, funny blurbs and funnier pictures. Love the website, hit it everyday and a lot of the stuff in the book wasn't on the site.

    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!
