Slog - Comments on Piece of Cake http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/piece_of_cake Bookshelves of Doom links to this amazing blog. Cake Wrecks documents cakes that are (intentionally or not) hilarious. Besides the above nightmarescape, there's this well advertised but poorly designed professional wedding cake, this awesome James Bond-themed cake, and this amazing naked-lady-delivering-a-baby cake. The entire blog is awe-inspiring....

Another colleague went along to Remo Borrachini's to order a simple sheet cake with the slogan:

"Happy Wedding, Happy Baby"

and THEY REFUSED to do so.

I mean, did they not ask to see a sample of the decorator's work first? Did they not get any kind of preview of the horror that was to come? Or did they all just pay their great aunt Stella 20 bucks to slap some pre-made synthet-o frosting on a Betty Crocker because they were too cheap or too dumb to seek out an actual bakery with actual trained professionals?

Maybe they were victims of a disgruntled bakery employee? Who knows

Somehow I can't imagine that's how it went down though...
