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? ;)

I started following this blog when I was 8 months pregnant with my first. My friend sent me the link to this website because she thought I'd like it. I laughed so hard I peed my pants a little (not hard to to when baby's that big, still...) and I was hooked. That little spawn of mine is now going into kindergarten and you still make me laugh so hard I (almost) pee my pants! You guys are the best!
