This blog is by FAR, one of the funniest things I have been able to read and share with my friends! The author and her husband have been the ones to create the blog, never believing that it would catch on quite so well, and it continues to be her with some of her friends posting funny pictures of "cake wrecks" and witty comments afterwards. With all that I was able to look over on her blog, it didn't seem like she was targeting anyone in the baking industry, although they may want to look at it for tips on what not to do, but instead she truly does this as something she loves and to make people laugh. There are parts of these blogs where people seem to be crazy to have even considered doing something like that for a cake, and then there are others that are just mishaps of the trade. In reading her blog, she communicates with the audience as if they are friends and she wants to hear back from them. Right now her main focus of her blog is the world tour that they are going on for Cake Wrecks. I really enjoyed this section because she includes her audience everywhere she goes because she invites them to where she will be, she shows them the competitions for the "best cake wreck" and replicates. This section I believe is really important because you see that even little children are involved in these competitions, proving that her audience really does span across a wide range. She has also made her blog "family friendly" because of her clean language, and by showing so many varieties of cakes she appeals to a wide group.
My favorite section of the Cake Wreck blog(http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/) was the section about wedding cakes! It proves that when you are planning on having a nice cake, you need to make sure and research the cake or be willing to pay a little extra. I can only imagine what some of these poor brides were thinking when the cake showed up clearly not looking like what they had requested. Similarly, the cakes that were ordered by brides turned out to be questionable too. Ultimately, this blog does a great job in appealing to many different types of people, and brings humor and laughter throughout the entire set of postings. I am sure that, like many others, I will be grateful for stumbling upon this blog, and be keeping up with it often!

Haha, I looked at this website and it is really funny how they talked about people not wanting to get the copywrite from the different companies so they just modified the logos to make it look like it but still not the same.
ReplyDeleteI know! These people seem a little crazy in some of the stuff that they do, but I guess everyone needs to be a little crazy when they are having fun:)
ReplyDeleteI think this would be such a fun job. You get to meet a whole bunch of great creative people and talk to them. You also probably never see the same thing twice.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the site, but I couldn't figure out who her audience was. Thanks for explaining. :)
ReplyDeleteThe audience analysis really did help after looking at the site, and like mindy said, I guess everyone needs something to be crazy about.
