Vroom vroom yum!
This strikes me as quite an innovation in sustainable design. A car that you can eat at the end of your journey.
The “making of” video is almost cooler, because it proves they weren’t just pretending to build a car out of cake, they actually were building a car out of cake.
And they had an actual Home Economist on their team! How cool is that? In the few recruiting films I’ve seen, “edible car construction” was never listed as a possible occupation for home ec majors. I imagine the field might have gotten more students if they’d mentioned a job like this.
Found via Cake Wrecks.
Awesome! (Almost as good as the Paradox commercial.)
I suppose it’s no surprise that they couldn’t build it supported by four cake wheels, but they did a good job of disguising the solid black support at the base. It did remind me of the rubber Dalek bottoms in “The Dalek Invasion of Earth” though.
