This Tech Gear Wedding Cake is Nerdtastic
Katie Cordrey — August 9, 2010 — Lifestyle
Circuit boards, wires and transistors are all part of this tech gear wedding cake. The multi-layered confection features a tool-wielding bride and groom atop a stack of circuit-board-green cake squares.
There are actual wires sticking out of the tech gear wedding cake, making it look a little scary -- almost bomb-like. But maybe that's the intent. It's not quite clear if it has to be powered down before eating.
Implications - As advanced forms of technology have become more affordable and accessible to customers, products that flaunt 'geek chic' have infiltrated the marketplace. Consumers are proud of their interest in technology and want their products to reflect this to their peers. Companies can appeal to tech-savvy target markets by incorporating geeky or educational elements into their product designs.
