Sunday Sweets: Projections of the Future?
October 5, 2014 Everyone's going nuts this week - and rightfully so! - over Disney's latest wedding cake technology.
Have you seen? If not, take a look!
(This one has a longer animation.)
;)
SO COOL.
Ahh, but Disney is not the first to use 3D projection mapping on a cake! Check out this vid Lisa C. sent in, taken back in January of 2013:
;)
And for the gamer geeks among us, how about this retro-licious Donkey Kong wedding cake from last August?
(Cake by Christine of Meals for Reals, projection by Posh DJs)
This next one uses plain white boxes as a stand-in for the cake, but Highland Media Work's demo reel of possibilities is STUNNING. I can't pick a favorite; there are too many!
;)
You could just have all these patterns cycling through during the reception!
And hey, if any of these designs ever get wrecked, the bakers can just blame the projector. :D
Of course, there's a more old-school way to put moving pictures on your cake: zoetropes! I featured a couple ages ago, but here are a few newer creations to hit the interwebz since then:

I'll admit it: I really wish that center tier wasn't yellow.
One more!

LOVE those bouncing flowers!
I know this was pretty different for Sweets, but I hope you guys found them all especially moving. ;)
And rest assured we'll be back to non-projected, stationary decorating next week.
Happy Sunday!

I like old school better. Yeah, I'm old.
Thank you Cake Wrecks, for calling our work "Stunning" :D this is the reason artist create! The response has been overwhelming!
Well...as a CG artist I am surprised by all the HATE...If you don't like it fine....but there is still artistry in what people are creating here....it's not the art of sugar, its visual art...Is there not room in this world for both...I'm not sure that everyone here understands the hours that go into this kind of video work. Just because I do this kind of thing, I'm not a hater to someone who can create an epic decorated cake...It may well be a fad...but it still has beauty.
I have to agree with JBee...I am a digital artist and my wife is the baker...we are doing all we can to stay competitive in our small little bakery. It is just a different form of art...and besides this way I'm not stuck just doing all the dishes for the bakery...I get to create too!...
