Andrew Zimmern is the host of the Travel Channel's hit series Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, and today his website posted a super nice interview with yours truly.

Not long ago I told you all about a Wreckporter who was foiled in her attempt to photograph a spider Wreck. Since then many of you have sent in photos asking, "Was this it?". Of course I have no way of knowing, so we'll just have to ask Mrs. Tantrum. So, hey, Mrs. Tantrum, was this...

One of the few blogs I keep up with these days is Great White Snark, a geek entertainment blog. Since Mike of GWS seems to enjoy skewering sci-fi cake wrecks there from time to time, I invited him to share the snark with us over here on Wrecks. I also (rather selfishly) suggested...

You readers have some mad skills when it comes to recreating your favorite Wrecks. Check out the "Homicidal Horned Boo-Boo" Wreckplica Mary Beth's friends made for her birthday:I think lighting his hair on fire was a nice touch, don't y...

With Halloween fast approaching, bakeries are churning out the ghoulish designs faster than you can say "baffling unibrow":Is this a pumpkin, Jacob L., or breakfast? I'm seeing scrambled eggs and a spotty banana here. And a rat with wings. But let's just ignore him and hope he goes...

Aw, look at the sweet cake for Sarah-Maude's second birthday:[squinting] Although, those balloons look a little odd, don't they? Let's take a closer look...[eyes bulging] Great Scott! Hide the children!!And I KNOW you see what I see, people, so don't even try to accuse me of having...

In case you've missed all the pink ribbons, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A few bakeries took this as an opportunity to roll out their "best" (note my restraint in the pun department) designs in celebration of breast cancer survivors everywhere:Ah, such a labor of love....

Alright, 'fess up, decorators: you're TRYING to outdo each other with the Wrecky cupcake cakes, now, aren't you?Well, you leave me no choice. That's right, folks:IT'S A WRECK OFF.Now, let's go over the rules again, shall we?1) Both cakes must be of the same subject matter, and the...
