Don’t let your Holiday Party get Cake Wrecked

Have you sent out holiday party invitations and are now turning your thoughts to decorating, music and menus?  If so, you’re in good company – those precious first three weekends in December are prime party dates.  And while we toil over our appetizers, snacks and holiday beverages, ordering a professionally baked cake is always a popular option for the holiday dessert table. 

But before you place that bakery order, checkout some classic ‘cake wrecks’ courtesy of blogger Jen Yates at http://www.cakewrecks.com/ or in her new book “Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong.”  You’ll be sure to smile, shake your head, and be VERY CLEAR when repeating your next cake order to your baker!  Here are three of our favorite cake wrecks.

First is the “cake that started it all”.  The request was “Best Wishes Suzanne” - and underneath that - “We will miss you”.  Ha! Ha!

Another funny one…the request to have sprinkles as cake decor actually made it into the icing text!

And often it’s not just the text that gets wrecked.  Case in point below, the cake buyer requested a ‘black high heel’ to decorate this 30th birthday cake.  Instead she got a ‘black high hill’.  Enough said.
