"MAKE Magazine" news and stories

Have you been rick rolled lately? For those of you not in the know, being rick rolled is when you click on a link sent to you buy a friend, acquaintance or stranger that, instead of leading to where you are told it will lead, takes you to the YouTube video of eighties pop star Rick Astley singing his hit, "Never Gonna Give You Up." It gave everyone on the internet a giggle for a good long time.

Well, an intrepid baker, crafter and MAKE magazine community member has taken the concept of the rick roll to a far tastier, yeastier place, with the creation of these edible rick rolls (made with a laser engraver). It just proves that internet phenomenon never die, they just get refreshed.

Thanks Eric!

It takes playing with your food to a whole new level.
