Friday Food Find – Cake Wrecks
Part of my kitchen storage is dedicated to my baking supplies. Making cakes, the bigger the better, is something I love to do. I love looking at other people’s work as well. I watch the Food Network’s shows on the cake competitions and have found some great baking sites on the Internet.
I found this site a few weeks ago. I can’t even really remember how I found it but I have become a disciple of the site ever since.
Every day we are treated with some of the worst decorated cakes ever. The witty commentary with each picture makes it even better. Jen, the woman behind the blog, offers daily posts with cakes that you’re glad that you didn’t buy.
The cakes featured, with VERY few exceptions, are all professionally made. They range from the grocery story or Cosco kinds of cakes all the way up to professional bakery cakes. One some of the truly “wrecktastic” one, she tries to get as much story behind it or even a photo of the “inspiration” cake.
Since finding the site, I have looked at the cakes in the case at grocery stores and bakery windows much differently now, hoping to find one worth trying to take a picture of without getting caught by store security (or worse, the cake decorator who made the offending cake). The funny thing is, I have seen some of the cakes that have shown up at Cake Wrecks at my grocery store and had to laugh that I either found the same cake or that someone back at the home office thought these would be big sellers. I can’t wait to have my first Wreck sighting!
