The machine moved across two 6ft x 8ft free-standing walls to cut a wedding cake





Two Walls

Wall 1:

Designed to reflect the bride: maximalist aesthetic featuring custom wallpaper adapted from her artwork, photos of her family, and odes to her Chinese heritage. 










Wall 2:



Designed to reflect the groom, the laboratory theme serves as an nod to his chemist grandfather. The surrealist nature of the composition in combination with mechanisms that turn on, light up, and levitate speak to the groom's lifelong love of magic and magic tricks.
