BakerTweet, the Arduino-based pastry early warning system
Usually when we cover the baked goods beat 'round here it's in the form of a gadget-themed confection, so anything that actually empowers our sweet tooth is not only brilliant, it's dangerous! That's why we were really excited (and a little scared) to come across BakerTweet, a WiFi-enabled, Arduino-based prototype that one mounts on the wall of their bakery. Items are added or removed via web interface, which you can later select by simply spinning the dial. When the sweets come out of the oven, press the button to Tweet your eager customers and await the stampede. The prototype unit is being used at Albion's Oven in London, but we're looking forward to seeing it hit the streets Stateside at some point in the near future (even if our waist isn't).

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Cake
We've heard of people playing Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City or San Andreas in preparation of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV but the whole cake baking thing is new territory for us. Sure the cake looks delicious but we're not sure about a few things. Does it run in 1080i? Will it also have exclusive content? Is it filled with blood?All of these questions can only be answered by the cake's creator, Jay S. Funny enough, you could probably bake your own version of this next-gen cake in less time then it takes to install the PS3 version! Ba-zing! Oh, we're kidding... it's not that bad!
