Whenever I need a good hearty laugh, I just click over to see the latest from Jen Yates at Cake Wrecks. Her world famous blog documenting “when professional cakes go hilariously wrong” is endlessly entertaining. Cake Wrecks is now available unplugged in the form of a good old fashioned book. Jen and her husband John stopped in Seattle to spread cheer, share cake and sign books.
Of course they added a fun cakey twist to the event by hosting a cupcake Wreckplica contest; fans were challenged to replicate a favorite Cake Wreck on a cupcake. Though I had put this event on my calendar months ago and was looking forward to it, I managed to completely forget about it until the day of. Thankfully they sent out reminder email that I saw 2 hours before the event started, so I raced to the kitchen to make cupcakes determined to participate in the cupcake Wreckpilca competition. Having only 2 hours, I selected a very simple Wreck to replicate, though it wasn’t a winner, it was fun. The original Wreck is part of a collection of Father’s Day celebration cakes, scroll down to the last one of the bunch to see the origional of my Wreckpilca.

Cake Wrecks – the book, is every bit as enjoyable as the blog and is primarily new material not published on line including stories about the bakers, reporters, and recipients of Wrecks. We are set for entertainment should we lose power or our Internet connection! It’s a fun book worth having on your shelf.
