Goal

The goal of this project was to two send a cupcake to another hackerspace. Cupcake should get there in good shape, looking awesome, and not be repulsive when eaten.

Concept

This year we attempted to make a flat packed Cupcake. By simplifying the the cupcake into a flat mostly square shape packing for stability should be easier. so that all shapes could be cut out of one sheet of cake and still fit squarely together when turned in three dimensional it was necessary to make the shapes out of primitive cubes.

Clay Model

Clay was used to make the very first attempt at laying out the model. It ended up being hard to work with as the unfired clay would stick to each other. It did lead to the realisation that the shapes resembled tetras shapes and such determined the theme of the cupcake.
