WEDDING CAKE OF THE WEEK: LEGO

by Hazed

What happens when a bride allows her fiancée to take charge of the wedding cake while she handles all the other planning jobs? Well, if the guy is an engineer, you end up with something unexpected: a cake made of lego!

Dan explained that, “there was very little wiggle room in the selections she had whittled down for me”. Presumably she assumed that meant he couldn’t go wrong. She clearly didn’t know him very well.

“Having previously used [programmable robotics kit] Lego NXT and Raspberry Pi to trigger a toilet for an ice bucket challenge video, she should have seen this coming,” he said.

The result is actually spectacular – the cake lights up in different colours and rotates. There’s a video of the lego cake being constructed and on show at the source link below.

Apparently, the unnamed bride wasn’t too alarmed by this mechanical cake – the two are still married!
