Disney is setting out to create a patent for, strangely, edible augmented reality cakes.
Ice cream cakes are a thing of the past. Soon, favorite scenes from classic fairy tales will come to life on sweet, fluffy birthday cakes. Although still in the early stages of planning, it seems that the fairy tale creators are designing new augmented reality cakes so that favorite Disney moments can be projected onto cakes, festive treats and all sorts of food.
Cakes are a massive and an easily manipulable canvas. Disney's idea not only applies to its own classics, but can also work for special anniversaries and weddings where significant moments can be reflected from ginormous wedding cakes. Although this concept is still in the early stages of planning, it can spark a lot of new ideas and inspiration in the cake industry.
