Review

Detroit’s Metro Times
"For those expecting imminent doom… recipes for delectable cakes to ease the transition to the netherworld. Why depart on an empty stomach? Even our death rows offer a last supper to criminals about to meet their maker. The photos and the stories that come with each recipe may be the best part."

The Arlington Advocate
“…a light-hearted delicious approach to Armageddon.”

Good for a chuckle, but no conventional purpose.

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

While the book is funny to flip through, and the pictures hilarious, this book can't really be used as a cookbook. A lot of the recipes require ingredients that aren't easily obtained at a common grocery store (wheat starch, custard powder, etc.), and some are joke recipes that really serve no purpose other than a quick chuckle. I wanted to make the Mayan 2012 cupcakes, which had cinnamon and chili powder in a chocolate cupcake, but either there was a misprint as to the ingredient quantity, or the recipes just weren't tested. You can't make cupcakes with only 1/3 cup of flour and expect them to turn out well (they didn't).

However, if you just want something quirky to put on your coffee table, it does just fine.

I think I did not do enough research when it came to this book. Sure it was full of quips, funny stories, my kind of sarcasm, and creativeness but this was not the recipe book I had in mind at all. I'd rather use this as a... really I have no use for this book. I'm not one to get rid of books at all so I've kept it because you really don't know when you might need it. It's not exactly a coffee table book, not something to put on display in a kitchen, not a go-to, or even something you'd read more than once. I was pretty disappointed. I mean, seriously, if I'm looking for a cake book I expect them to all be edible! One cake was literally made from mud (the Haiti earthquake if I remember correctly). That's where they lost me. But like I said this may just be due to my not doing hours of research before buying the book. Silly me.

I got this book for my baking buddy for her birthday. It seemed like a good choice because it had delicious recipes and easy to understand directions along with a sense of humor. My friend really likes it and we can't wait to try all the recipes. You should have a sense of humor and curiousity when purchasing this book but regardeless the recipes are fantastic

I saw this book in a store and was intrigued with the clever idea. I didn't have a chance to look at it very thoroughly but thought it would make a great gift for a friend. I ordered it on my phone after I left. I wish I would have read the preview first because in spite of the funny, clever idea, there are just too many f-words for me. Amazon gave me a refund, which I appreciated.

It's a funny idea for a cookbook. The photos are great and I love the descriptions, but I wish there were more recipes for real use. A lot of these are jokey and useless.

Cheers to Apocalypse Cakes!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2012

This is a book like no other: one part cookbook, one part dark comedy with perverse cake photographs mixed in. Ms. O'Malley's level of creativity is impressive, as are her cakes! Now I'm cracking up and hungry for some Gay Wedding Cake and Swarms of Locusts Grasshopper Pie. Get this book for your own collection or for someone who needs more humor in their life. I really liked it.

Timely Indeed

All the tornadoes and volcanoes and such could not have been more perfectly timed as a brilliant PR campaign for this book. I just hope I don't get sucked into a black hole before I am able to read all the recipes. They will have me laughing all the way to the grave!
