it would have to be pretty wrecked for me not to eat it

So the SnackManiac has received a few tips about this blog called Cake Wrecks. The premise of this blog is that they post pictures of cake decorating gone wrong. It is hilarious.

Here is an example of a "cake wreck:"


I have been hesitant to post about Cake Wrecks for several reasons:

1) It is really funny and you might start reading it instead of SM.

2) I truly appreciate the handiwork of the team at the Giant bakery counter who have brought us delightful snack-memories such as this. I would not want to discourage their craft by promoting this ridicule.

3) Many a cake has been wrecked at the hands of the SnackManiac. These things happen.

UPDATE:

Here is the picture of the cake that G got me (and subsequently wrecked) for my birthday. It is a quarter sheet cake, so it is about the size of a sheet of paper. G bought a tube of icing that you are supposed to also buy the decorating tips for, but he didn't realize this at the time. So the icing stream was roughly the diameter of the garden hose and G had to dispense with all pleasantries and stick to business:

What amuses me about Cake Wrecks is that you and G both seem to have done better than some of the "professional" decorators they cover.

And 4 flowers? This one makes G look quite conservative with flowers!
