Playing with food taken to a new level

Disney has a new technology that makes it ok for you to play with your cake.  They are making new cakes that will have projectors and interactive characters that can tell when a piece of cake is cut as well as telling a story.  With the projector the cake will always be whole by filling in the missing pieces when removed.  So in my opinion watch out Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes, new cakes are coming to town and with the business of cake making these interactive cakes may be the new fad. 

The patent is called Projector Systems and Methods For Producing Digitally Augmented, Interactive Cakes and Other Food Products.  Below is a picture of the new technology.

I can't wait to see this technology in action.   Do you think that it will be the new cool thing or is it just a projector on a boring white sheet cake?  Also the idea of the cake telling a story, seems like the cool part,  I think this technology can be really cool like could you imagine having say a sports cake with a little you running around the field.

    I love cake! And I think this idea rocks! If Disney and Buddy could combine on this, they would make the most legit cake ever!

    Cake designers can do some pretty amazing things already. I would love to see what they could come up with using this new device.

    I think this sounds like an amzing idea!! They do have some pretty crazy designs out there and it's always a little sad to see it destroyed when the first pieces are taken out. This seems like such a good way to keep it there. Though it does seem like it might take a little of the impressiveness out of the cake since people wouldn't actually be making it by hand.

    Where could these be used? Are these projectors that you are talking about super complicated and need to have cake designs programmed by a specialist? Or could a fairly ordinary person have one of these at their kid's birthday party?

    I think this is nuts. And I'm bummed that pulling off a kids' birthday party just keeps getting more and more expensive.

    Great post. I just can't help but be the voice of Mom here.
