10 Ideas Blog

The 10 Ideas Blog was inspired by the words of James Altucher in his National Best Seller, Choose YourselfEach week, we sit down and challenge our brain to come up with ten ideas for new inventions.  This is a great exercise for anyone to participate in, and sometimes we come up with really great concepts (and sometimes, they’re a little crazy!) Our father, Ben Greenfield wrote an article about why this is such a good idea, and you can read that article here.

Like many people right now, we’ve been thinking a lot about the vehicles that we use to get around and how we impact the planet.  We think that with some innovation, we can come up with better ways to travel, things that can help reduce the need to travel, and other ideas that will help reduce our impact on the environment.

Terran on Birthday Cake Innovation

I had a lot of ideas that weren’t related to cakes, but I couldn’t help but think about how it could be a lot easier to decorate cakes (something I really like to do) if I had a tool that helped stack layered cakes and automatically crumb coated them.

River on Birthday Cake Innovation

My ideas were meant to be funny.  Like the candles that can’t be blown out, and just keep relighting themselves, I thought it would be funny to have candles that start to smell after burning for a few seconds.  I also thought it would be great – as a person with a birthday in March – to have a leprechaun cake and you don’t know if you are cutting into it to find a “pile of gold” or a trick.

 

You can see some of our other ideas from the week here:
