How to Make a Watermelon Cake
(Photo: Rakuten)
Rocket News 24 calls this marvelous cake a Baumkuchen. It’s popular in Japan, but originally from Germany. From the inside and outside, it’s a remarkable facsimile of a real watermelon, complete with seeds in the pulp.

It’s made on a spit. The baker adds layers of batter onto a spinning rod until it becomes a thick mound of cake. It has rings like a tree, which is why the German name for it means “tree cake.”

plot e^(-3*((0.5+x)^2+y^2/2))+e^(-x^2-y^2/2)*cos(4*x), x=-3..3, y=-5..5
I don't think it's possible to see the intersection at z=0.001 as they've done in the picture though.
e^(-3*((0.5+x)^2+y^2/2))+e^(-x^2-(y^2/2))*cos(4*x)
.. but it still doesn't say "Hi". I'm sad.
Is there a way to clip the 3D plot in Wolfram Alpha?
Neat link though. I already knew the batman one (previously featured at Neatorama, IIRC), and the origami mermaid is worth trying
