Mr Cake

Overview

Mr Cake, a Stockholm-based café and patisserie founded by Roy Fares, is known for its high-quality, American-inspired pastries. For their 2025 advent calendar, the brand created a playful 3D scene with geometric shapes forming trees, presents, houses, and characters. Mirroring the shapes and visual language of the original design, I built physical paper models for the animation, bringing the calendar’s handcrafted world to life in 3D.

To capture the calendar’s playful and artisanal spirit, I designed and built physical paper models reflecting the shapes, textures, and feel of the real calendar. Using real paper and models preserved the subtle folds, textures, and imperfections that are otherwise difficult to replicate digitally, giving the animation a tactile, authentic quality. Each model was digitized into 3D assets using photogrammetry and optimized for texturing and animation in Blender.
