Everybody loves a cross cake
A big, cold glass of milk and a slice of my grandmother’s lemon Bundt cake – nothing says sweet memories like good quality baked goods, but not all cakes turn out well. Some of the cakes are ugly, stupid, or just plain funny. Now you can have your cake and laugh it off too with Cake Wrecks: When the Cake Profession Go Hilariously Wrong by Jen Yates, creator of CakeWrecks.com.
So what is it about the traveler’s cake that people find so appealing? I think that everyone has a cake to tell a story. Maybe that’s the cookie your Pony mom made, but the dog ate it, or it’s that day. Frost the dragon cake that gave you Technicolor poo for three days. These little pieces of flawed confections feel more cohesive and remind us not to take life too seriously.
So how does the author define “book wreck”? Here’s Jen’s working definition: “A wreck cake is any cake made by taking on a role that you unknowingly call sad, silly, creepy, stupid. A wreck isn’t necessarily a mass of dough made badly, it’s simply one that I find funny. For any number of reasons.”
That’s right: it’s called Jen, and if you don’t like it, yes, it’s a rock cookie. But some wrecks are thought to be, and not always the fault of the deck. Even though I love riding naked babies with Mohawks on any occasion, even I have a wild imagination. A baker can make a sweet sculpture, but it can still be a wreck. So, grab a box, turn the page and sample.
The cake of wrecks is divided into several layers. There are literal LOLs (that is, laughing out loud in the text of the discussion). Some breakdowns make you wonder what exactly the customer ordered. Not these things. There is a famous post next to the photo “Best Suzanne under the shiny that we will miss you”. Another favorite is too literal: “What do you want on your cake?” And he boldly said: “Nothing.” If I got anything from this book, other than a belly full of laughter, never answer the phone and always “come” write your desired address.
Jen Yates gives further cake readings: now I see that reading a cake only thirty minutes before the event never good idea, and that brown cake has a good dramatic chance of looking like fecal matter. As Vates points out, maybe it’s the texture, maybe it’s the taste, it’s a little bit of a twist that the bakers use, but for me, it makes it A low carb diet is more popular than ever. I think I miss the loneliness.
We all went wrong when we had to turn left and right, dressed in whips, and asked the cake decorator to write the word “birthday” on the cake, with the following worst numbers: 1st, 2nd , 3rd, 4th-all have different endings. Who is the trace of all? It’s easier to just slap them all.
There are also pictures of wedding wrecks that fresh flowers can’t fix, holiday horrors with demented Santas and, beyond amazing, those creatures that frighten , get confused, or just do a “huh?” A covered pony, like a Christmas present, really? A wrecked cake can remind us that life is still sweet, even if your butterfly cake looks more like someone else’s autopsy. After all, nothing ever happens if he can laugh. It’s a cake icing. So they have Hafffy birfay! Got ‘ny milk???
