Editorials

Library Journal

Yates, author of the 2009 New York Times best seller Cake Wrecks and founder of the blog of the same name, once again brings confectionary hilarity and horror. All photos are of commercially available cakes and decorated baked goods, and many make you worry about the quality of your local bakery. Commentary is light and suggestive rather than explicit, though the accompanying photographs often speak louder than words. Light reading for the hectic holiday season.β€”Katie Dunneback, Bettendorf P.L., IA
