IT WORKS! Operation Game CAKE, How To Cook That Ann Reardon

Adding the Box to Place

The box is added into place with the wires pointing straight up and the computer cable and earthwire coming out of the side. This ensures that everything is properly positioned and secured before moving on to the next step. The wires are then covered with buttercream, which helps to conceal any visible wiring or cables.

Adding Chocolate Details

For those who are concerned about not knowing where the box is when cutting into the cake, the computer cable coming out of the side should serve as a reminder. To create a seamless look, temper some milk chocolate and spread it onto some foil, making sure it's slightly bigger than the cake. Once the chocolate starts to set, place some paper in the size of the cake over the top and cut around the outside.

Measuring the Wires

Measure the position of the wires on your cake so you know how far in and how far up they are sitting. This will help you locate the correct spot on the chocolate and cut out a circle using the back of a piping tip. The circle should be slightly larger than the wires to ensure a snug fit.

Adding Chocolate Details (continued)

Once it is set, remove the foil and add it over the top of the cake feeding the wire through the hole. This will help create a channel for the sauce to flow. Now put some baking paper over the top and rest the white chocolate over that. Use a knife to draw on where each of your holes are, this is important as you need to get them in the right spot.

Twisting the Wires

Twist the wires around and curve them into a circle, we're just trying to make them a bit shorter. Then spread them out, fan them out so they're not touching each other. Use some tempered chocolate to hold them in place. This will create a secure base for the cake.

Creating Channels for Sauce

Now we want to create a channel for our sauce to flow through it can make a circuit with the wire, that way we don't have wires through the whole cake, we can just have them all right here next to the box so we can take that out in one piece. To do this, use chocolate and Twizzlers to make the channels. Remember you want one wire in each channel.

Adding Sound Effects

To add a fun element to the cake, create sound effects using Scratch.mit.edu. Sign up for a free account and click on events. Drag 'when space key is pressed' over into the spot on the right-hand-side, and then drag 'play sound until done' underneath. Press the arrow next to Meow and choose 'record.' Record your desired sound and press the square to stop recording.

Adding Customizations

Name your recording so you know which one's which. Then click on the 'scripts' tab to go back. When you press down next to Meow there, your new sound is there. Keep doing that for a,s,d,f, and g, as these correspond to where the wires are plugged into on the back of Makey Makey.

Assembling the Cake

Once everything is set up, plug the computer cable into the computer with Scratch open and running, and attach the earth wire to tweezers. Now it's time to play! The cake is ready for assembly and presentation.
