For two Harvard University undergrads, what began as "an excuse to eat a lot of cake" may turn into the invention of a lifetime. John McCallum, a 20-year-old from Louisiana, was daydreaming about cake his freshman year during his Science of Cooking class when he happened to see someone spraying whipped cream and thought to himself, why not spray cake? Is that possible? He and his girlfriend and fellow student Brooke Nowakowski went on to prove that it is, winning first place and $10,000 in the 2014 Harvard Innovation challenge, reports ABC News. Their "Spray Cake" involves spraying cake batter from a can, then cooking it for one minute in a microwave. You can also cook it in a traditional oven, and they say it will cook faster than typical batter because the spraying helps release air bubbles inside, prompting it to rise in the absence of baking soda or baking powder.

Spray your cake and heat it too.
Seriously, how long does it take to mix a boxed cake? Two or three minutes? I’ll bet this product won’t be cheap, either.
With this invention, Marie Antoinette could have saved her head!
“Let them spray cake.”
*******
Would a piece of the best cake on the planet make you feel better: Obama cake?
Crack: Yes, If they could put CRACK OR POT in a can, then they will really have a best seller. A person can dream can't he?
bet it doesn’t taste anything like the ones I make from scratch....or even a good box mix
“Both are careful to say that Spray Cake isnt meant to replace cakes baked lovingly from scratch, but is instead an improvement over ready-bake mixes.
Boy, that dump cake lady aint gonna be happy about this!”
Except in double blind taste test the cake mix cakes almost always taste as good or better than scratch ones
Would we have to print cakes for the perverts?
Mmmm...Sprake.
Or maybe Sprayke, but "Cake Whiz" is hard to beat.
Totally not sustainable. Totally.
“Spray” in 4 more slices.
( hat tip to Larry, Curly, and Moe )
Let me know when someone invents spray pie. Cake? Meh.
Yep.....I’ll be somewhere buried in the rule book about student’s rights and responsibilities is something about “intellectual property.”
The FLOTUS is not amused.
Comes in 4 flavors: chocolate, vanilla, lemon, and bacon. Mmmm, bacon ;-)
But you still have to cook it..
All they need to do now is develop as heated nozzle that will bake the batter as it exits the can.
You are an accomplished person. Unfortunately for me, a spray cake is better than something I could concoct.
LOL!!!!!!
