Yes, the mother of all things housewife has gone and made the mother of all game cakes. Granted, as game cakes go, the Wii cake that graces the cover of the Martha Stewart themed issue of Wired (yes, you are reading those words correctly) isn’t particularly original, but it is characteristically perfect. Aside from the fact that I’m a bit peeved a big-name baker–even a morally question one–is muscling in on the game cakes scene, it is cool that game cakes have become big enough that they can be front page news. Or at least, be on the front page. Or the cover. Whatever, you get the point. Which is that we who have loved game cakes from the beginning are proud to see our delicious little protégés grow up. Congrats, cake!
