Wedding cake contains edible chocolate batteries that power candles

Unveiled at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, the cake is topped with gummy bears that move thanks to a pneumatic system

Robotics meets the culinary arts A Swiss Italian team has created RoboCake, a robotic wedding cake that showcases the advances in robotic food research. The project was unveiled today at the Expo 2025 in Osaka.

This isn’t your normal wedding cake. The gummy bears on top can dance, their heads and arms moving thanks to injections of air through a pneumatic system, and the LED candles at the bottom are powered by batteries made out of chocolate. Such edible electronics have been proposed as a solution to electronic waste. The cake was unveiled at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, on 13 April.
