Good to know that 75% of the photos are ones not from the website! I also hoped that there would be ones not suitable for all eyes because I know Jen would really make them funny. I’m happy to find that’s true.

The thing I liked the most about the book review was that she was SO accurate about it! My hubby & I (of course!) pre-ordered the book, having been reading the blog since about a week after she started it! Going through it, we were CONSTANTLY laughing… with Jen’s sense of humor, and the pictures, you can’t help it!
(Even though I have a copy of the book… I can think of LOADS of people I would love to give it to!!)

There’s so many interesting points in both the book and blog review! I especially find it interesting and pleasantly surprising that 75% of the book is new material. I enjoy the fact that the reviews confirm that this book will induce a lot of laughter and there seems to be something for everyone in it, and, even though some of the cakes are adult in theme, the chapter titled “Poo Phenomenon” definitely sounds like one for the kids. Also, from the blog review, the 3 photos linked are definitely the best of the best. Kudos!

I love the fact that it will make you laugh no matter if sick or well and with all the funny misspellings and punctuations that I am sure will bring a rise of laughter from even the most serious.

I’ve been following Cake Wrecks forever, it always gives me a good laugh. I think it’s great that the book is mostly new material, I’m sure the classics will still be funny the second time around. I wish the book tour was coming to Southern California!
