Nina Notaro, pastry chef and owner of Cake Studio in Winnipeg, Canada, has made the world’s first QR code wedding cake. The cake made its debut at the Wonderful Wedding Show held at the Winnipeg Convention Center. The four-tiered wedding cake is a simple box shape, featuring a QR code on every side of the middle tier. The cake is entire edible, made with white fondant and sugar Cattleya Orchids.
The code links to the Cake Studio website and provides information on the services and history of the studio. Users can also find a video on the site showing the making of the cake.
Notaro’s aim is to expand the culinary worlds mind in regard to using technology. Her effort has drawn attention from the crowd at the event, many of whom have never seen a QR code before. Notaro fielded questions and even helped visitors in understanding what the code meant.
Though QR codes are still relatively new, they are spreading across the world quickly and a large number of businesses are looking to take advantage of the technology. The purposes of the code were once thought to be purely for marketing campaigns, but as more people find creative uses for the codes they can be implemented in a variety of different ventures.
With smart phone ownership on the rise, the number of businesses using QR codes is likely to increase. The momentum of this new, mobile and efficient technology is likely to carry QR into the future and into new fields of industry.
