You're Frosting It Wrong

The latest Internet meme, known as "You're Doing It Wrong" or "Epic Fail," examines photographic moments where things are just not how they're supposed to be - a bus parked on top of a car, or a security camera facing a wall. With plenty of blogs covering the general "You're Doing It Wrong" world, we now have specialized blogs to provide detail and nuance in specific areas of failure. Witness Cake Wrecks, which features less-thought-out dessert concepts like spiny puffer fish cakes, or a cake that was supposed to have the Olympic rings on it but instead got the words "Olympic Rings" written in quotes.
