Thank you to blog reader Maria who tipped me off to a blog called Cake Wrecks. It is apparently the site you have been waiting for to read about "when professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong."
Cake disasters are chronicled in many categories, like Harsh Reality, Sweet Messenger:
The next category is Why Are The Children Screaming? with the additional commentary of " I don't get it - we just brought out the cakes, and poof! Mass hysteria!"
The Celebrity Wrecks entry includes Hulk & Linda Hogan being so "greatful" for their son Nick, the one who is in jail for killing that dude.
Little Bindi Irwin had a picture of her dead father, the Crocodile Hunter, to spend her tenth birthday with.
And Michael Jackson was a cake wreck before he was a train wreck. Here's the cake for his sixteenth birthday party.
And I think my favorite, captioned with I Believe The Children Are The Future, is Li'l Derrick's cake for his 4th birthday. Nothing says being four like Grand Theft Auto and gangstas with guns.
Enjoy the rest of the blog, here!
As someone who is in the process of starting up my own cake decorating business, I thank you for this website. Not only did it make me laugh, but it sure does make me feel a lot better about my own talent!!

That Bindi Irwin cake is just creepy. What the hell was she thinking?
