Edible Ebonics & Other Unintentional Cakes
You’ve probably already seen some of these funny cakes frosted by morons, and they’re hilariously entertaining. A great statement on the state of total basic ignorance and lack of common sense. It’s like your average failed “American Idol” contestant got a job at a bakery. They’re not just America’s future. They’re its present.
My fave is the cake ordered “with nothing on it,” and how that translated. But I don’t think I’d plunk down any cash for a whole book on it. Jen Yates of CakeWrecks.com has a new book, “Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong,” featuring these and others. And, incredibly, it’s in the top 600 bestsellers on Amazon.com as I write this. (I guess that plug in the Andre Agassi “I Used Crystal Meth” latest issue of People helped.)

OK it took me a minute, but I finally got it. You’re right, it’s both funny and sad.
