This is my absolute favorite time of year to write for Cake Wrecks. That makes it hard, of course, when John is begging me to please just run some "best-of" posts so we can get a few days off to spend with family this week, but, c'mon. Like I'm supposed to just NOT post this … | Continue reading

Friends, if you'll indulge me, I'd like to take a moment and wax poetical about the world's somewhere-between-17th-and-52nd best education system. You see, here in the States we learn everything we need in life, from the very basics: | Continue reading
My dear bakers, I'm going to teach you how to spell "Congratulations" if it's the last thing I do. I mean it. We're going to sit down RIGHT NOW and hash this thing out, and I'm not giving up until each and every one of you can spell this word backwards, forwards, and without us … | Continue reading

John and I actually had our Thanksgiving dinner with family on Monday, and we had ham instead of turkey, but it was still totally Thanksgiving dinner because we used cloth napkins and the phrases "What's that supposed to mean?" and "No, YOU'RE wrong!" were used. YAY HOLIDAYS. If | Continue reading

Today's post is a little different, and doesn't quite fit my standard definition of a wreck - but it's just too darn funny not to share. Today's post is also probably NSFW, and unless you want some really uncomfortable discussions with your children, NSFK, either. So, … | Continue reading
Eek! I think I’ve forgotten to mention this year what is possibly the most popular indicator of Fall - you know, the one you see in every coffee shop, restaurant, and bakery across the nation. Yep, I'm talking about that ubiquitous Fall flavor: | Continue reading

I've often thought the "sex-reveal cake" trend was fraught with peril, and today's wreck is a good example of why. In case you haven't heard of it, the reveal cake has either pink or blue icing hidden inside, depending on the baby's sex - but the kicker is, the | Continue reading
It's a fundamental fact of life that the more ridiculously off base a misspelling, the funnier it is. So, "Congradulations?" Not particularly funny. "Controdulatior?" Funny. And this? | Continue reading
Thanksgiving is coming up (for us Americans, anyway), which means a lot of us are about to spend a lot of time with our families. When my family gets together we like to cook, eat, laugh, eat, and play a whole lot of board games. Then we eat again. So, in the spirit … | Continue reading
