More SolidWorks Food for Thought

All of the sudden, it’s getting popular to model food in SolidWorks.  First it was Richard Williams and his Pasta Bridge.  Today I got an email from an old friend – Catherine Norman (nee Wright) of MLC Cad Systems in Irving, Texas.  Seems Catherine’s little girl Brooke desperately wanted a Unicorn themed birthday party, complete with a castle cake.  Not knowing where or how to start building the cake, Catherine turned to SolidWorks for a little help.

BirthdaycakeIn a about a half-hour, Catherine was able to design the basis for what would become Brooke’s castle cake.  Using SolidWorks gave her the opportunity to see how everything would work out before she started slinging flour (that’s cook-speak, it means the same things as "cutting chips" to a machinist).Birthdaycake_real_2

Here’s the result – a cool cake and a happy little girl.

Happy Birthday Brooke!
