ArCake: Just Don’t Swallow Them LED Lights

So technology has gone on from being the usual business of you carrying a particular device around, to one which you can actually wear – ranging from smart glasses to smartwatches. Well, what about the world of gastronomy? Alexander Treiber decided that any other normal birthday cake simply will not do – hence, he decided to come up with an edible, interactive LED cake in order to celebrate his wife’s birthday. How cool is that?

In order to allow the LED lights to shine through, Treiber managed to drill 30 holes in a chocolate cake, where he subsequently filled up the spaces with colorless and tasty spiced chai tea and milk-flavored jello. The Arcade Cake, or called ArCake for short, was then specially programmed in order for it to say ‘Happy Birthday’. Heck, it could even operate a Jump-n-Run game which can be played with the help of a Wii controller.

Certainly this is one particular cake that is not going to be easy to eat, after all, it does have a whole lot of gaming potential, and the ability to mesmerize whoever looks in its direction. However, eating the ArCake might require you to be extra careful – just like eating a fish with plenty of bones among the flesh, swallowing an LED by accident is no fun at all.
