Pack Rat is speed dating its way to the finish line
I think anyone who is drawn to making things with their hands has had a project go horribly, horribly awry. It can be devastating when the failure is fresh, but after some time, and a bowl of ice cream, usually we can look back on those mistakes and laugh. Or, if you want to feel better immediately, go to Cake Wrecks and revel in other people’s misery. I’ll be honest, I actually don’t wait until I’ve made a boo-boo to enjoy the ridiculousness that is the cakes featured on this blog. I incur all sorts of bad karma by laughing at them now. A few words on some of my favorites below: the first does actually strongly resemble one of my all time favs, Tom Selleck–but in a creepy, unnatural way. The second cake just makes me guffaw, there’s nothing better then a happy looking cake with a crappy message on it. Some of my other favorite cakes are not shown here, but they run amok over at the blog; these are the cakes where the decorator has taken the client’s suggestion and translated the request word for word onto the cake. Such as a cake top that literally says “Welcome Baby in Pink.” Nothing better than to see a misunderstanding spelled out in icing.
