"So Funny" In Bold, with Exclamation Mark
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
*Yes, I'm joking; there wasn't a third cake. (So far as I know.)
Stephanie J., Kathryn S., Wendy M., & Jenny, you guys rock in all caps!

NOTE: D'oh! Ok, you doubters were correct: the "in Spanish" cake IS an intentional order. Sorry, Tasteful Cakes, and thanks for having such a great sense of humor about it!
UPDATE ON JOHN: John is out of ICU and feeling gooood! So good, in fact, that he's been pestering the publisher to let us go straight back on tour the second he's discharged from the hospital. (Hm. Maybe I should recommend another head examination...)
It will be a few weeks before his lungs are completely clear, and he will continue to be on massive amounts of antibiotics in the meantime, but as of this moment you'd never know he was deathly ill a few days ago. That's the power of prayer, warm wishes, good juju, and modern medicine for you! Thank you all SO MUCH; your e-mails, comments, jokes, tweets, pics of get-well cakes, and offers of help have been overwhelming, and helped us more than I can say.

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.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 206 of 206 Newer› Newest»the wierd thing is, that spanish cake is pretty nice!
"(In Spanish)"!
All that's missing, are a few, commas, you know.
these remind me of some things from here: http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/
I am so so so glad John is better & am completely sure he'll stay that way (yay!) but I really want you to make him rest more than he thinks he should. My boyfriend's mother, a then totally healthy thirty-something, died only a week after finding out she had pneumonia (RIP). I don't say this to put a damper on the celebrations, but just to remind everyone how serious pneumonia can be. On top of his sepsis... yes, PLEASE rest. You need it too, Jen. Take a mini-vacation, we'll all be here when you get back. :)
Don't you mean oRange?
How I wish my friend had overcome her fury long enough to take a picture of her sister's cake BEFORE storming off to the bakery to tell them off! She had ordered a sheet cake with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger on a background that had the blue sky and green grass airbrushed on it (I know...) The decorator asked, "What do you want us to write on it?" She said, "Just write, 'Hey Annie!' in the sky and leave the ground alone."
Oh, yes, they did....
