MERRY CAKE Luara Arabi Master of design and innovation Strategic design Lab Jul/2013

WHY

The amazing feeling we get when our wishes come true.

WHY I can’t eat sugar, it would be great if I could have a well designed sugar free cake.

I wanted to try to make a cake that was different and remarkable.

I want to make a personalized gift for my girlfriend, and she loves cakes!

The websites of custom made cakes that I know are not really good, I don’t trust.

Ii could be easier to communicate my ideas for the cake.

HOW How might we make it easier for people to express their wishes and needs?
