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? ;)

Oh my gosh...that picture cracks me up. Still no Phoenix, huh?

:( Maybe next time.

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDorci

Framingham?! *sad face*

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCassandra

I wish you would do something in Idaho. We haven't been able to come to any of them...too far away.

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterChelsie

Great new tour logo! Ouch! :)

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjen bryner

Framingham... so close, yet still so far. But, thanks for thinking of Boston! Glad you both have your health back. :)

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commentertchen

Well, phooey. The Atlanta date falls during my trip to Disneyworld, so I will miss my chance at the wreckplica contest. The signing will be loads of fun, I'm sure, but not quite a tradeoff for 10 days at Disney. Close, but not quite. :)

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNancy B

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!
You're coming to Buckhead! :D

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCamille

Will be driving from NH down to Framingham to see you! So excited!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAshlee

when are you coming to Idaho?!?

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTraci

Please oh please come to Fargo! or at least Minneapolis, that's doable right? :)

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commentersmiles :)

I would love to see you in VA sometime! MD is pretty close. Good luck on this go 'round!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKelsey

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSam

Woohoo! Boston! I'll have to check with hubby, but hopefully I'll be getting in my RSVP soon! :)

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDawn's Recipes

Next time, can we get a Kentucky/Ohio/Tennessee visit? Atlanta's just a little far, as is KC.

Glad to see that you're back on track, though!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSouthern Sugar

OI! How about coming out to the Mid West-specifically, the Twin Cities in Minnesota..
Please, please have a flu shot, a tetnus shot, a shot-for-infected-lungs shot and so on...stay healthy Jon!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Please, please, PLEASE come to London at some point to kick off your world domination tour... I can't promise an amazing mini-wreck, but I can promise that I'll be laughing really hard!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLiz

any chance of a Northern California visit anytime soon? San Francisco would be close enough for me.

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDiana Watson, Writer

We in Salt Lake are still sad you aren't stopping here! People here are crazy cake decorators, so you would be loved and appreciated!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMelissa B

Yay! You added Boston! =)

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBridgete

Durnit, I'm flying to NYC on Nov 3 missing you by one day! At least I got to see you in Seattle!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Please, please, please add CLEVELAND to your list of cities!! Pretty please!?!?!?

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterErin

MAN, I wish the KC date wasn't a weekday or I would be there in a heartbeat. That is a great little Barnes and Noble. Hope everybody has fun.

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKatrina

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJess P.

Seriously tho, would love to see you guys up in the Seattle area!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLara

You can't really dominate the world if you don't come to Canada. There are tons of cake wrecks here just waiting for you.

You could start infiltrating in Niagara or Toronto!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDotty

What about Utah? Come west please!!

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterangiem

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMandi

We will see you in Atlanta! There will probably be about 5 or 6 of us! Can't wait! Stay well :-)))

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJaxKat

The vital question is- will there be t-shirts with the new logo?
*waits patiently*

October 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commentersrb

Sob! No Space Station?!
Weep for zero gravity.
It, too, longs for cake.
