Ah, how sweet it is to be back posting here on Blogger, dear readers.
As you probably know from the sidebar note I had posted, Blogger's anti-spam measures disabled my account last Friday afternoon, along with countless others. For the past five days I have been pleading on the Blogger Help Group boards for a live person to a) unlock my account, or failing that, to b) acknowledge my existence. I tried being polite. Then I tried being a little snippy. When those both failed, I resorted to the time-proven tactic of shameless begging.
My post this morning read as follows:
"Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please pretty pretty pretty pretty please?!?"
About four hours later: bingo! Cake Wrecks is unlocked!
See, it really does work sometimes, guys. ;)
Thanks to all of you who checked in on me during my virtual absence: I'd take you guys over any other blog's readers, any day. Ya'll rock.
Now, back to the Wreckiness!

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is 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.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.
