Description

Cake – Intermediate Take Apart Puzzle

Cake is a cast-metal take-apart puzzle designed by Bram Cohen and produced by Hanayama. A quarter-section opening in its cylindrical form reveals three matching layers inside.

Take the puzzle apart, then rebuild its original form. The repeated shapes make the construction look straightforward, but the challenge is to understand how the layers fit and move together. Reassembly provides a second test of that spatial understanding.

Features:

  • Geometric Focus: Bram Cohen’s design centers on the relationships between a small set of shaped pieces.

Why You'll Enjoy It:

Cake suits puzzlers who enjoy studying how an orderly-looking object comes apart. Its visible layers offer a clear starting point for exploration without revealing the solution, making it an engaging next step beyond introductory take-apart puzzles.
