Sandra Lee Fashion Fail #527

We’ve all heard of the Kwanzaa Cake, but did you know Sandra Lee also has another cakewreck that’s just as cringe-worthy? Ladies and gentlemen… behold THE HANUKKAH CAKE – which currently boasts a one-star rating on Food Network’s website.


You’re looking at a store-bought angel food cake with marshmallows crammed in the center, that was then murdered with blue frosting and adorned with tacky, inedible faux pearls and wires. We understand it’s terrifying, so look away if you must.
Is this woman even Semi-Sane? That Star of David looks like something an infant could have pieced together while still in the womb, and the pearls don’t say “light the menorah” half as much as they scream “we just fell off of Winona Judd’s favorite blazer.”

I have no idea why Food Network would put this up on their website, but it is HILARIOUS. Here’s some behind-the-scenes footage of Sandra Lee asking for help adjusting her wig before a shoot. Note the way she bitchily calls poor Mark, and the face she makes after he fails to come adjust the hideous hairpiece for her. Totally priceless. Thanks, Food Network!
(Thanks for the link, Amy!)
Spotted on this weekend’s episode of Semi-Homemade. Oh, Sandra. Poor, poor Sandra. The bra failed her from the front – AND the back.

My pals over at Eater.com just spotted Sandra Lee’s memoirs on the DOLLAR TABLE at Barnes & Noble. The best part? IT’S AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY!

A few weeks ago, an FNH reader sent us some audio of her “reading” from the “book.” We set the audio to pictures, and you can watch the video by clicking here.
