Episode 583: Epic Neopixel Birthday Cake

What’s better than birthday candles? LED animations of course! In this video we’ll tackle the age old question: can you embed LEDs into a birthday cake? Using flexible LED matrixes and an Arduino, Natasha explores how to incorporate the matrixes into a cake and drapes fondant icing over them to diffuse the light. It’s an exciting use case for LEDs and a spectacular birthday cake!

    I love the idea of an infinity mirror on top! It would look like there was no cake - but then there will be cake. Great idea!
