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 ;)

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

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

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

[(Unverified) Posted 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...

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

"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.

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

[(Unverified) Posted 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.

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

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 2:26PM]

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

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 2:27PM]

WTF?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 2:31PM]

holy crap, all hell break loose...

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 2:32PM]

"Does my Wii taste good?"

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 2:52PM]

Quickly!

There's EVIL afoot!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 9:04PM]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevillllllllllllllllll!!!!!

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

Is there a file in the cake? :-)

[(Unverified) Posted 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?

[(Unverified) Posted 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?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 3:51PM]

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

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 4:01PM]

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

[(Unverified) Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 5:14PM]

A little chicory perks up the taste of roasted GPU.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 5:27PM]

I knew there was a reason I stopped reading WIRED.

[(Unverified) Posted 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.

[DBG Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted 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?

[DBG Posted 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)

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 7:19PM]

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

[(Unverified) Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted 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).

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 8:47PM]

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

[Starcade Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2007 11:58PM]

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

[keithwwalker Posted 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...

[potatotron Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 23rd 2007 9:03PM]

go go go.

-IT-

[(Unverified) Posted 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.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 23rd 2007 8:36PM]

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