Martha Stewart scolds Craig Melvin after he spills chocolate ganache on her $3k white pants during Today show cooking segment

Martha Stewart's live Halloween demonstration on Today took a gooey turn after Craig Melvin accidentally drizzled chocolate ganache on her $3,000 designer pants.

The 85-year-old lifestyle guru was dressed in an all-white while Melvin was dressed up as her long-time friend Snoop Dogg.

Carson Daly went as Choosin' Texas country singer Ella Langley and Savannah Guthrie borrowed a look from an NBC page for the show's 100th anniversary Halloween celebration.

The segment featured Stewart showing the crew how to decorate cheesecake with a chocolate ganache spider web, and it quickly went awry when she couldn’t find the crucial ingredient.

'Uh oh. Somebody forgot the chocolate ganache,' said Stewart, who previously admitted she 'fell in a hole and lost' $1 billion.

'Oh, there it is,' she added.

'It’s right here,’ Melvin said helpfully, picking it up and holding it out to Stewart.

The piping bag then started to leak onto Stewart's snazzy slacks, and the celebrity chef's horror was written all over her face.

'Whoa!' they exclaimed in unison.

'Eeeeh! Snoop!' she chided her equally horror-struck helper.

'I'm so sorry, Martha,' Melvin said, before covering his mouth with his hand.

'Good thing you're best friends,' Daly jokingly commented.

'Real Snoop would never do that,' Stewart scolded Melvin.

'No, for shizzle,' Melvin agreed - imitating Snoop's often-repeated and signature saying 'fo' shizzle,' which means 'for sure' - before doing his best  to move on from the embarrassing situation and even wandering off at one point.

'Oh my, I have burning legs of hot chocolate,' Stewart later quipped as she continued to decorate her cheesecake.

The media mogul had tough words for the co-hosts' pasty work, however.

'This is so sloppy. I've never seen anything so bad,' she seemingly remarked about Guthrie's dessert display.

'That is not good, you're going the wrong way,' Stewart critiqued Daly's piping technique.

Later on in the segment, Stewart looked straight at the camera and playfully said: 'My Halloween crew is out of control here.'

'I just feel so bad that I destroyed your $3000 pants,' Melvin told Stewart.

'Don’t worry about it, they wash,' she told him with a laugh.

Stewart continued to bear the brunt of Melvin's mistake and wore the stained pants for the rest of the taping.

'Special,' she said, as Melvin pointed out some ganache had spilled on her shoes as well.

The Today mishap comes on the heels of Stewart's rejection of the notion of a traditional 9-to-5 job or work-life balance.

During a live appearance on Richer Lives by SoFi podcast with financial expert Vivian Tu, Stewart called people who try to achieve 'balance' as 'boring' with 'thick skulls.'

When asked how she juggles her personal life with her vast media and business empire, Stewart replied there is 'no such thing.'

'Just get that through your thick skulls. You can't balance it, it doesn't balance,' said the self-made multi-millionaire.

'This thing about balance, I don't know who thought about that, but it just doesn't work. 

'Maybe infrequently, and I'm jealous of those people, but they're all so boring,' Stewart said.

'You're gonna get divorced if you're going to get divorced. You're going to get married three times if you're going to get married three times. It just doesn't work out.’
