About this ebook

With additional chapters on Black Friday, family communication, and navigating the murky waters of politically correct cake greetings (Winter!), Wreck the Halls combines Jen Yates’s signature blend of wit and sarcasm with the most hilarious frosting fails this side of winter solstice. Get ready for some sweet relief from the holiday madness—and plenty of laughs.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5So freaking hilarious! Not only are the cakes funny but the words throughout make it even better! It ranges from Halloween to New Years with a little scifi thrown in and some offball cakes as well. I do not have a favorite one in the book but they are all bad cakes whether it be spelling or just plain creepy looking (and not on purpose!)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I know there are other Cake Wreck fans here who will appreciate this book. Not just horrible Christmas cakes, no, there are Hanukkah, Halloween and Thanksgiving cakes to laugh at. Even if you check the website regularly, this book still has new material.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Funny book about professionally decorated cakes gone wrong. Cross eyed Santas, melted Santas, reindeer that look more like poo. There's a dragon that is eating Santa. Another that looks like a dragon but has the head of Santa. It starts off with Thanksgiving and mangled Turkey cakes. Again some that look like poo. Another has Barbie with a dress that looks like a turkey, nicely done but what were they thinking?

The Disclaimers
Well, here we are again. You, standing there with this book in your hands. Me, sitting here hoping you’re standing there with this book in your hands. My cat, hacking up a hairball. It’s like the circle of life, only with more desperation, wreckage, and cat vomit.
Good times.
Now, for those of you who have not had the pleasure of reading my previous book: Why not? Cease this mindless procrastination at once, and go forth and acquire said tome!
Or, just read the following disclaimers. Then you’ll be all caught up.
DISCLAIMER #1
A Cake Wreck is any professionally made cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate—you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly made cake; it’s simply one I find funny, for any number of reasons.
In other words: my book, my rules. If you find yourself disagreeing with my assessment of any of these Wrecks, a few quick blows about the head and neck with this book should set you right as rain.
DISCLAIMER #2
Much like horoscopes, rodeo clowns, and Pat Robertson, nothing in this book should be taken too seriously. I am not the consumer watchdog of cakes. Cake Wrecks is simply my way of finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places. If you’re offended by poo jokes or dripping sarcasm, see Disclaimer #1, paragraph 2.
DISCLAIMER #3
All of the photos in this book were taken and submitted by the brave Wreckporters of CakeWrecks.com. These intrepid crusaders are often forced to employ speed, stealth, and ancient camera phones to bag their bounty. As a result, some of these photos are less than professional-looking. The rest are downright crappy. We’re very sorry. Deal with it. (Or see Disclaimer #1, paragraph 2.)
Okay, all caught up? Are you ready to WRECK?!
Or maybe just sit there and look at some funny cakes? Ah, I thought so. In that case: you may proceed.
It starts in October.
You know what I’m talking about: that nagging, weighty feeling of dread. The disquiet in the back of your mind. The suspicion that something, somewhere, is waiting to unleash a horror beyond your wildest imaginings.
Then, before you can say "spider goosing a ghost
