Making an Animatronic Lucky Cat Cake... Out of Candy!

Can candy physics actually work, or did I ruin an entire illusion cake? Today I set an impossible rule: build a traditional Japanese Maneki-neko (Beckoning Lucky Cat) cake that waves completely on its own with ZERO plastic, batteries, or motors inside. Every single mechanical part, from the pendulum axle to the counterweight, has to be 100% edible! Between mold leaks, shrinking wafer-paper disasters, 24K edible gold leaf, and melted Jolly Rancher engineering, see if this edible machine actually beckons... or snaps under pressure.
