As a part of Vienna Design Week, design team Mischer’Traxler created an automatic cake decorating machine. Participants controlled the machine which started by piping icing in a Spirograph-like pattern, they could then have the machine add edible silver balls. The user has control over how much decoration is added, but they can’t restart the machine until a new cake has been inserted.
The project is being exhibited at the MAK Museum as part of the ‘Design Criminals’ show which looks back at Adolf Loos’ early 20th Century essay, Ornament and Crime.
