Martha Stewart on how to bake an edible Wii

Martha Stewart has managed to bag a front cover appearance on Wired, a publication which somehow has convinced Martha to "geek out." Translation: Martha baked a cake in the shape of a Wii, and wanted to show it off. Although this example may not be in the same league as our birthday cake competition -- she ain't winnin' no Alienware with that thing -- we'll give Martha a respectable grade for her first effort: we wish her better luck next time with the "geeking out."

Yeah but I bet it tastes the best ;)

[Geoffrey Sperl @ Jul 22nd 2007 10:45PM]

Actually, the Wired article warns you not to eat it. It's only a display cake.

[kianoosh @ Jul 22nd 2007 2:22PM]

You know what I have noticed, wired is really bad at airbrushing and photoshopping people.

[tyler @ Jul 22nd 2007 3:39PM]

what do you mean? if martha looked like the woman pictured there, i'd hit it haha..

[Joe Anstine @ Jul 22nd 2007 5:43PM]

nah they aren't bad at airbrushing...its just that...well...if you put a gold necklace on a pig, its still a pig and if you air brush Martha Stewart...well...she's still Martha Stewart...

[Galley @ Jul 23rd 2007 9:10AM]

Martha did indeed look exactly like she does on the cover; 30 years ago!

[John Stewart @ Jul 24th 2007 2:03PM]

"nah they aren't bad at airbrushing...its just that...well...if you put a gold necklace on a pig, its still a pig and if you air brush Martha Stewart...well...she's still Martha Stewart..."

Yeah, but I'd still bang it; save the icing for later.

[Sarah @ Jul 27th 2007 2:22PM]

duh! wired doesnt do the airbrushing the printing press that prints the magazine does.

[Dragod @ Jul 22nd 2007 2:24PM]

Why is always the Wii?
I mean, come on. Not everything is the Wii nowadays. Why don't we see a cake with a Wii, a PS3, and a 360 all attached to a 60" HDTV? Now that would min an Alienware, lol.

[jerjer @ Jul 22nd 2007 5:13PM]

ehhh it's this new thing called advertising...dunno...

[quahogian @ Jul 22nd 2007 2:26PM]

too much photoshop and she still has a smile of a devil

[Mitch R. @ Jul 22nd 2007 2:27PM]

WTF?

[lyl545646 @ Jul 22nd 2007 2:31PM]

holy crap, all hell break loose...

[w00t @ Jul 22nd 2007 2:32PM]

"Does my Wii taste good?"

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 22nd 2007 2:52PM]

Quickly!

There's EVIL afoot!

[Ceph @ Jul 22nd 2007 9:04PM]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevillllllllllllllllll!!!!!

[deep @ Jul 22nd 2007 3:04PM]

Is there a file in the cake? :-)

[Josef F @ Jul 22nd 2007 3:25PM]

You guys suck at reading comprehension. I'm holding this issue of WIRED in my hands right now and I'm looking at the How To in question. The last step says "Do not eat! Your Wii cake is full of sticks and, absent of baking soda, will taste like old Atari cartridges."

You do know what "edible" means, don't you?

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 22nd 2007 3:28PM]

I don't see any comments about what you are referring to.
No one has mentioned edibility in the comments thus far.

You do know what "having a clue" is, don't you?

[gt2378b @ Jul 22nd 2007 3:51PM]

He's probably referring to the title, "how to bake an edible Wii."

[StevO @ Jul 22nd 2007 4:01PM]

I love eating old atari catridges, c'mon..

[Samo @ Jul 22nd 2007 4:12PM]

Does she een know what a Wii is???? Juding by the size of the wiimote, I doubt it :p

LOL @ w00t's comment, btw.

[Dave @ Jul 22nd 2007 5:17PM]

Uh, it has to be a bit oversized, or there's no way you could do all the details with frosting.

[Revrant2394 @ Jul 22nd 2007 5:14PM]

A little chicory perks up the taste of roasted GPU.

[Josh @ Jul 22nd 2007 5:27PM]

I knew there was a reason I stopped reading WIRED.

[Constable Odo @ Jul 22nd 2007 5:29PM]

Did somebody here say they wanted to do Martha Stewart? Just making a reality check.

So, why choose a Wii to be made into a cake? What next? DSLite brownies and PSP cookies.

[Tony Rayo @ Jul 22nd 2007 6:48PM]

"So, why choose a Wii to be made into a cake? What next? DSLite brownies and PSP cookies."

Oh God I hope so... with little M&Ms for buttons, mmm.

[IcedNyior @ Jul 22nd 2007 5:46PM]

I just saw this at the newsstand from a distance and was wondering...what the hell is martha stewart doing on the cover of Wired?

[Tony Rayo @ Jul 22nd 2007 6:47PM]

So you can have your Wii and eat it too?! (ugh just when I got over the console's sound of urine, Wired brought it back to me when I saw this)

[-Tj- @ Jul 22nd 2007 7:19PM]

Is it just me, or does Martha's Wii have a 360 waistline?

[Martez @ Jul 22nd 2007 7:54PM]

Actually, Martha's a bit of a tech-head herself. You didn't really think her well-decorated, likely multi-million dollar home would be devoid of the latest technology and gadgets, did you?

On the other hand, her solution for house-wide sound is an iPod in every room, so maybe she's not as saavy as I first thought.

[Geoffrey Sperl @ Jul 22nd 2007 10:49PM]

What if they're all 80GB models and they hold her entire collection?

Not everyone can figure out something like a Sonos system (though I'm sure they would send someone to her house and would set it up if they thought she might talk them up).

[mike @ Jul 22nd 2007 8:47PM]

it seems to have concave curves, just like the xbox 360

[nick @ Jul 22nd 2007 10:54PM]

Q: How do know when your product is no longer cool?

A: When you promote it by using Martha Stewart.

[tone @ Jul 22nd 2007 11:58PM]

they should have put that "Ace Of Cakes" dude on the cover instead.

[Chris @ Jul 23rd 2007 1:23AM]

I am quite disappointed that you did not use the phrase 'hold a candle to' anywhere your denunciation of Mrs Stewart's cake.

[keithwwalker @ Jul 23rd 2007 2:04AM]

This is why I stopped subscribing to Wired years ago, they have become corporate whores just like the one on the cover...anything for ad revenue...

[joetron2030 @ Jul 23rd 2007 11:09AM]

Oh, please! Like she actually baked that cake or was responsible for the recipe. Someone on her staff probably did all the work. She just shows up for the photo and that credit.

[Mark M @ Jul 23rd 2007 8:36PM]

Martha used to regularly feature tech segments with David Pogue on her original TV program.

[Irvan @ Jul 23rd 2007 9:03PM]

go go go.
