Just in Time for the Holidays
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Everything pictured is available in a variety of colors, so be sure to check out the Cake Wrecks Zazzle Gallery to see all the options. There's also a ladies' "Wreck On" tee and that coveted fridge magnet over there, which I know you won't want to miss. ;)
These are just a few initial offerings, and I'd like to thank Erica Gamet, co-chair of the Denver chapter of InDesign User Group, for creating the "fun & games" apron and t-shirt design. If you'd like to take a crack at designing a shirt for the site, feel free to e-mail me. If I decide to use your design you'll get fame, glory, personal props from yours truly, and a link to your website or blog here on Cake Wrecks. Now that's a reward money can't buy. (Ok, that's a lie. But my personal props are really, really expensive.)
As a bonus, everything you buy before midnight tomorrow (11/20) on Zazzle is 10% off! Just use the code "zazzlepaypal" when you checkout.
Happy Shopping!

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.
