NO matter how small or grand the celebration is, a party is not a party without a cake. This baked sweet treat serves as a highlight of a celebration and makes it more interesting since the cake usually represents the personality of the celebrant based on its design, color, flavor and personalized message.
As years passed by, cakes have gotten more luxurious and awe-inspiring. People have had their share of cake from the simple dedication cakes and candy sprinkle-designed with figurines-on-top cakes to edible photo cakes and themed cakes. But this time, it’s the animated cake known as 3-D cake mapping that is taking dessert time to a whole new level, making one’s special event even more magical.
3-D cake mapping projects images and animations on a multi-layered cake. Basically, it is the same thing as projecting videos or images onto the wall to watch movies or view photos in a bigger screen but this time, the videos, images and animations are projected onto cakes—transforming the traditional cake as a medium to tell the story behind the celebration.
One can now have plenty of designs on a layered cake—photos or videos, favorite GIFs of one’s name or favorite quotes—in one setting without ordering varieties of cakes. With cake mapping, the sky is the limit.
White coat is the perfect canvas for motion pictures to be projected on. With five layers as the minimum layers of the cake, you can have one as tall as nine-feet; a one-of-a-kind cake that will leave a lasting memory and impression on you and your guests. And to keep this centerpiece perfectly beautiful all throughout the event, some layers of the displayed cake will be framed with styrofoam but still offering enough edible portions for the cake slicing.
According to Alan Caballes, owner of Cakes and Memories Bakeshop and one of the two who offers this kind of service in Cebu, celebrity couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera popularized this cake here in the Philippines as the couple had it during their wedding reception.
“Combining delicious cakes with innovation have long been our passion. From edible photo cakes to 3-D cake mapping, our cake decorating company continue to deliver high quality decorated cakes and pastries that consistently evolves with the current emerging technologies to give Cebuanos a unique and magical cake with their animated cake,” said Caballes.
