Acknowledgments

Cake Wrecks has been nothing short of a miracle in my life, so I have to first thank God for the amazing whirlwind of a journey this past year and a half has been. It hasn’t always been easy, but I wouldn’t trade my life now for anything or anyone’s.

I’m also deeply indebted to Christopher Schelling, my agent extraordinaire; my amazing editor Chris Schillig, Holly Camerlinck, and the entire team at Andrews McMeel; my “Wrecksistant” Anne-Marie; and my go-to genius Chris Friend. Thanks also to Marian Lizzi, Mom and Dad, Mum, my big brother Ben, and the amazing network of friends who have either held my hand or kicked my butt as needed throughout this process. John and Abby, Josh and Alison, Julianne, and Heather, you guys get the gold stars.

And finally, none of this would have been possible without my husband, John. From carrying me through the hard times to laughing with me through the good ones, he shows me daily what love looks like. He also does a mean Swedish Chef impersonation and likes to bake—but not eat—brownies. If that’s not the whole package, then I don’t know what is. Thanks, sweetie—I love you.
