Chico Yo-Yo Company's Chico Anything Kit, aka Cake, is a "Heavy" (50.2 grams) kit containing response pads (the red square inside the package had pre-cut pads), a size C "Ripple" bearing, one axle, and stainless steel mounting halves. The combination of these parts let you supposedly turn anything -- cookies, donuts, glass discs, drawer knobs, custom milled wooden halves, Silly Putty, Play-Doh, 3D printed plastic halves, bottle caps, cork stops, and so on -- into a ball bearing yo-yo... with a bit of work. The tricky part was figuring out how you were going to attach the desired material to the mounting halves. To solve that problem, you just needed to be ten percent smarter than what you were working with.
Came with a shielded, ABEC7-rated, 10-ball, concave bearing known as the "Ripple" by Buddha Bearing. Besides the concave shape, the bearing had a slight groove machined into it to help center the string on the bearing during play, thereby increasing spin time.
A "Light" (37.6 grams) CAK version of this kit was also available.
