Popcake Pancake Maker

Popcake Pancake Maker

Over a year ago, we vacationed on the beach.

We stayed at a hotel that - like many - offered complimentary breakfast.

One of the treats was a pancake maker.

The pancakes? Meh.

The interface indicating the progress of the pancakes? Genius!

See for yourself:

I absolutely love the use of blocks, underscores, and direction to mimic the state of the pancakes in the machine.

Not to mention the flight metaphors:

  • Prepare for Bake-off
  • Patent-pending pancake runway

It was merely an unexpected delight one morning at an otherwise unremarkable hotel.

Enough to write it in my notes and recall it so much later.
