MATLAB: Combining three cell array of different sizes

combining the cell array

I have three cell arrays:
a = {'ball' ; 'cake' ; 'ice'}
b = {'home'}
c = {'car'}
I know if I use d =[a , b, c] will get the error.
how can I combine these arrays. The output should be another array so that it will be easy to write into excel.
Thanks a lot.

Best Answer

d = cell(3);
d(:,1) = a;
d(1,2:end) = [b,c];
