Ok, Wreckporters, your mission (should you decide to accept it) IS:
Seek out and report beautiful NON-Wrecks in the theme of Winter Wonderland. Send your nominations to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.
The theme is open to interpretation; it can be snowmen, ice castles, bare trees, etc. Search your favorite bakery's website, photo hosting sites like Flickr, or even submit your own cakes: the "professional-only" rule doesn't apply for Sunday Sweets. (Be sure to include the web link where you found the cake, so I can give props where they're due.)
I promise we'll have more interesting and/or unique themes later: for now, I figured a season-appropriate one would be a fun way to start off. Leave your suggestions for future themes in the comments!

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.

I tried to email you a pic, but the email addy won't work for me. :(
you a couple :)
FUN
Tonia: If you didn't already try it like this, I'm pretty sure that Sunday Sweets and Cake Wrecks should each be one word.
Ahh, you're branching out. Good for you.
Oooh! We've added a new day! Sundway! ;)
There's a mithspelling in your title---
unless you really meant "Sundway"
LOL - whoops. Yeah, "Sundway" - I'm smooth like that.
We really should petition Blogger to include the title field in the spell check! ;)
I would like to see some really well made cakes from non professional people. Cakes that are not super slick and perfect but rather have charm and character, without being 'wreckish' I guess.
DISNEY SUNDAY SWEETS!!! PLEASE I BEG YOU! I'm having a Disney Wedding and I want a classy Disney cake!! Princess inspired preferably. PLEASE JEN!!
Future suggestion: Elvis! His birthday is January 8 (just like me).
Suzanne aka anonymous
I agree with Diana, DISNEY SUNDAY SWEETS is perfection!
