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.

“I haven’t laughed so hard in ages.” –Mary Alice, from the Food Network’s Ace of Cakes
Cake Wreckery at its best! First off, as an avid fan of the CakeWrecks blog I had extremely high hopes for the book. I expected nothing less than hilarious pictures and side splitting commentary to match. Jen Yates went above and beyond!! This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone and everyone. It will make an excellent conversation starter and I’m sure all your friends will thank you for introducing them to the wonderful world of cake wreckage. I recommend this book completely and 100%.
Great original content even if you have read the blog I was worried that this book would simply be a reprint of the blog entries, but not so! Even though some of the cakes are familiar, the commentary is all new. The book is wonderful, and I highly recommend it.
I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t catch my breath I bought this book on a whim. I saw it when I ordered “Bent Objects” and thought, “hmmmmmnnn… why not?” All I can say is that it had me in stitches from the cover. I found myself laughing hilariously and in some parts, couldn’t catch my breath. I recommend this book wholeheartedly, for those people who might need a chuckle, guffaw, or whooping laugh.
