I can't do this book justice by trying to summarize it with words. If you love the Cake Wrecks blog, you'll love this book - which contains many favorites from the web, along with a lot of new material. I mean, it just wouldn't be a Cake Wrecks book without mohawked carrot jockeys and cakes inscribed with 'It A Girl' and 'I Want Sprinkles.' Jen's commentary is spot on, as always. I loved when she mentioned that she loved the British show "Are You being Served?", which probably explains why my sense of humor matches hers so well.

Love the blog, buy the book. Love baking? Buy the book. Or as in my case, buy the book for myself, and another to give as a Christmas present. Also works as a "Berfday" gift. ( )

When I first discovered the Cake Wrecks blog, I spent a few hours reading the archives and giggling at Jen's wonderful word play. This book did not disappoint. There was plenty of new material and Jen's classic tongue-in-cheek commentary. It takes a lot to get me to laugh out loud (seriously). This book gave me many "LOL" moments. ( )

As funny as the blog that started it. There is plenty of new, exclusive content and commentary that has not been in blog. But some of the best stuff from the blog has also made its way into the book. There is also some great background on the Cake Wreck classics.

(Jen sent me a copy of the book to review.) ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0740785370, Hardcover)

Have your cake and laugh at it, too, with the sweet treat known as Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong. From the creator of the ultrapopular blog CakeWrecks.com, here are the worst cakes ever, including the ugly, the silly, the downright creepy, the unintentionally sad or suggestive, and the just plain funny. With witty commentary and behind-the-scenes tidbits, Cake Wrecks will ensure that you never look at a cake the same way again.

Since May 2008, Jen Yates has been blogging about such confectionery calamities at her popular Web site CakeWrecks.com, winner of the 2008 Blogger's Choice Award for Best Humor Blog, and three 2009 Weblog awards (Bloggies) for Best Writing on a Blog, Best New Blog, and Best Food Blog. Yates now offers up this inspired photo collection with over 150 Cake Wrecks, including 75 percent never-before-seen content.

"I haven't laughed so hard in ages." --Mary Alice, from the Food Network's Ace of Cakes
