Nearly four years ago, we first talked about a patented process being developed by Disney in order to make cakes appear to be interactive using projection mapping, a technique oft favored nowadays by Walt Disney Imagineering. But now it’s Disney Fairy Tale Weddings who have seen the projected light as they demonstrate in this newly released video offering a sample of what they can deliver couples at their Disney weddings.

According to DFTW, the cake becomes the entertainment as it can share a completely personalized story about the happy couple, though it is seen here using some generic applications including Tinker Bell with pixie dust, Cinderella arriving to the castle by horse drawn carriage making use of the cake’s tiers and the obligatory fairy tale ending, also taking advantage of the tiers.
By standing behind the cake, the couple can make use of the traditional cake cutting ritual without interfering with the cake’s storytelling prowess. No sign of the cake screaming and/or bleeding when it’s cut into though, so there’s still some potential to be achieved on the interactive front.
