Caption contest: the Kindle cake

Sure, it might not be as filling as the Skoda cakemobile, or as family oriented as Martha Stewart's Wii cake, but do those contain the thrilling tale of The Light Beam Rider? Yeah, we thought not.

Paul: "Unfortunately the screen refresh times of '30-35 minutes at 350 degrees' is just plain unacceptable."
Chris: "Moments later, a naked Jeff Bezos burst out, ready to greet everyone at the shareholders' meeting."
Richard: "Philippe Starck calls the Kindle 'a little delicious.' "
Sean: "No friends, that's not the iCing phone, tis the Kindle Cake and it serves 12."
Don: "You can never be too careful buying gadgets on eBay."
Josh: "The Light-Beam Rider was surprisingly short."
Ross: "The book is a lie."

the first prototype of the kindle... the plastic injection machine was down so they made the case out of vanilla icing the night before the presentation in a pinch. the cake loving investors from sara lee were very pleased and the project was approved!

Even in cake form, many found the Kindle to be bland and unappetizing.

[Cal @ Mar 17th 2008 6:21PM]

[Andrew Hudson @ Mar 17th 2008 6:22PM]

Reading 'The Light-Beam Rider' is a piece of cake.

[think_tanker @ Mar 17th 2008 6:25PM]

[Donald @ Mar 17th 2008 6:56PM]

It's actually quite easy to hack Kindle 2.0 - in fact, a simple kitchen knife will suffice.

[Tim @ Mar 17th 2008 6:56PM]

The tactile response of the keys can only be described as goopy...and delicious.

[Matthew @ Mar 17th 2008 6:59PM]

[Kyle @ Mar 24th 2008 11:51PM]

I think mint chocolate condition is funnier
