Kids top our biggest inspiration in this one...

 

Thanks to shows like Cake Boss and other baking competition shows, parents are inspired more than ever to create a cake their little ones will remember. They may be able to make pastries that look like their favorite characters, but can they make them move?

 

It sounds impossible, but Youtuber Russell Munro made his son a cake that'll make everyone jealous. As the video shows, the cake not only introduces itself as Optimus Prime, it actually transforms into the iconic robot. How did he do it? Munro used a 3D printer to make the base of the cake. From there, the cake and frosting cover up the motors and other parts that help it move.

 

Along with transforming cake in action, Munro also posted a video showing the bare base moving. From the looks of it, it's made of plastic frames and motors to get the amazing effect. Sadly, there's no how-to guide or detailed breakdown on how Munro did it. Just watch the video again and be stunned. The real question is how are you supposed to eat a cake like that anyway?
