Hey it's me, your brother. Sorry I couldn't make it to pop's birthday but you can just mail my piece(s) to me

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago

haha i'm sorry you missed the party, i hope it arrives not too much flattened in the envelope ☺️

[–] Ghyste 46 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Works of art. They look delicious!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

thank you so much! it took four days to finish everything but it was worth it, i need to buy more molds to be able to scale up the operation, mixing more ingredients at once is the same amount of work, but god it's so much cleaning, 15 different preparations, each time a sink full with pots, whisks, spoons, bowls... :)

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Okay dude. How can you get such realistic looking lighting and backdrop for your Blender renders????

Seriously though those cakes look damn unreal.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 days ago (6 children)

i've started learning blender this week, by following the famous Donut tutorial by Blender Guru, i'll let you know when i manage to do that ^^

the velvet technique is just amazing, the cake are frozen solid and then i use a paint pistol with an air compressor to project a molten mix of cocoa butter and white chocolate with food coloring on the cake. the temperature difference makes the droplets freeze instantly

dude this is cool af

Oh, okay. So pretty simple stuff, really.

2 hours later

So, I shot the paint can with my pistol and that just started leaking everywhere. So I moved on to my molten cocaine butter knifes, but I couldn't find my cake in the whole mess. I figured if I used the air compressor to fill my projector with the cocaine lava and white chocolate, things would kinda just come together, but that splashed in my eyes, which really stung. Anyway, can you drive me to the hospital?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

lol have you been spying in my kitchen? the first time i tried using the compressor, it was set to the max pressure (8 bar), and i sprayed 100g of chocolate into the air in 2 seconds. everything around was covered in a thin layer of chocolate, in a heavy haze, it took days to get everything cleaned 🙀

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just so you know in the future, that method of painting is called airbrushing, and the whole setup is called an airbrush.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

ty good to know!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fake! I don't see the default cube anywhere!

The first pic had nine default cubes and some raspberries 🤔

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

someday i'll pile up three of those, you'll be the first to know ^^

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What the hell…. I want to tell you how awesome this is but I don’t know how. Seriously, no words, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i think you just did 🫶❤️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

❤️ I think I would cry if someone ever presented something like this to me, I don’t know if I could bring myself to eat it. Thank you for sharing and responding so kindly to a complete stranger in awe at your art. Those close to you are fortunate in so many ways most will never know. All the thought, preparation, practice, effort, self recognition, grounded personality. You are unreal, this thread has been in my mind since I initially saw it and you helped me find my words, thank you for that. I wish you nothing more in life than you present to it, only because more doesn’t exist.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

that's so kind of you! i wish i could share more than how it looks but if a lemming ever visits my corner of the planet (SW Germany), i'd absolutely share :)

my go to answer when the guests say they don't dare to eat it is: the sooner it's gone, the sooner i can bake something new ^^

here's a photo gallery from cakes i made during my online lessons last spring

Wow, this is beautiful. You should go on Cake Boss or whatever the cake competition show is called.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i've had this suggestion numerous times, but at the end of the day i hate competition and i'll rather bake for my loved ones instead :)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're wise to recognize that. Competition is a good way to suck the joy out of something you love. It's just really amazing, world-class art you've created here, which is why I suggested it. But it's totally okay to keep something outstanding for yourself and your loved ones.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

it's probably better entertainment to have a competition of some kind on TV ^^

i already get requests from friends and colleagues and i can already tell you: im never making a Paw Patrol cake for a 3yo ever xD

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Now do a Companion Cube cake.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

that was my first thought too!

I like the "bananas" and "oranges" aesthetic.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This post is simply amazing. I don't think I couldanage these results, even with a week to spare. Exceptional work!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

it takes some learning and i had courses to learn it, but fundamentally it's not complex, just many small steps and a crapton of ingredients + utensils :)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I watch a lot of baking shows and your cake is easily the most beautiful cake I’ve ever seen!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

oh wow that's quite the compliment 🫶 I strive to make everything as beautiful as possible, I come from France where pastry is ubiquitous, but I now live in Germany and it's almost impossible to buy something really nice, so i took online pastry lessons last year to learn how to make stuff myself ^^

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wow those are beautiful, what are the flavors?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago (5 children)

oh i forgot to write that, thank you for asking

the white one is a champagne mousse cake with a layer of raspberry jam, champagne jelly, a sponge cake with blueberries and a crunchy bottom layer with milk chocolate and hazelnut

the bananas have a banana caramel core, an orange juice dark chocolate mousse and a cocoa sponge cake (lactose and gluten free), on a vanilla-butter cookie

the whirls are greek yogurt mousse with a blue berry jam core encased in a passion fruit white chocolate ganache, cocoa almond sponge cake, on a vanilla-butter cookie

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That all sounds delicious 😊

also thank you for adding photos of the process in the comments!

These are really insanely gorgeous perfection

But as I read your replies in the thread I am more and more impressed at what a disaster zone your kitchen must have felt like and the endless cleaning That is a lot of love right there. Sounds like a lucky dad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

ty ^^

the disaster, fifteen times in a row:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Awe you're being humble; hiding all the counter cleaning and I suspect these are just the pieces you prefer to handwash.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, the best picture is big guy morgunkorn hunched over airbrushing pastries, doing what he loves.

Cakes look amazing, I might need to pick up another hobby. Great job my dude.

This calls for a tic-tac-toe game ☺️

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hey man, you can't do this to me on a Sunday morning. I've been a pie>cake guy my whole life and now you have me questioning everything.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

sorry to shatter your assumptions, but pies are great too!

I made those for the epiphany last week:

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks INCREDIBLE, what kind is it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

thank you 😊

  • the big cake is a champagne and raspberry jam mousse cake
  • the bananas are chocolate mousse with a banana and caramel core
  • the twisters are greek yogurt mousse with blueberry jam filling
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think the other person wanted to know what the pie filling is. Or at least I do :)

And how did you get the crust so dark?
