I just finished reading a very funny article in the New York Times about cake wrecks. I was unfamiliar with the term prior to reading the article. Apparently there are sites that document ugly or mis-captioned cakes and they have a loyal following out there. The web site mentioned in the article is called CakeWrecks. It has photos of cakes of all types and trust me, many of them you would not consider eating. The CakeWreck site only posts photos of professionally made cakes which is both sadder and more astounding if you think about it. Jen Yate’s the blog’s creator says she gets around 50 cake photo submissions a day. Wow, that is a lot of culinary screw ups. The verbiage is a major chuckle but after looking at the site there are some very vivid visual disasters as well. For example read the caption on the real cake that I recreated in the attached graphic. If you have nothing else to look at today, check it out the blog CakeWrecks, it made me LOL.
