Works of art. They look delicious!

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 4 weeks 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... :)

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 30 points 4 weeks ago

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

Seriously though those cakes look damn unreal.

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 52 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 23 points 4 weeks ago

dude this is cool af

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 weeks ago

ty good to know!

[-] riskable@programming.dev 7 points 4 weeks ago

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

The first pic had nine default cubes and some raspberries 🤔

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] poplargrove@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, no wonder it took 4 days. Very cool.

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 weeks ago

Now do a Companion Cube cake.

[-] clickyello@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

that was my first thought too!

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

But the cake isn't a lie?!?

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

First pic made me immediately think the same! I'd be so happy if my kid did that for me, if only for the humor of it and our shared love of the game.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 weeks 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 ^^

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago

Wow those are beautiful, what are the flavors?

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 weeks ago

That all sounds delicious 😊

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

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 weeks ago

you're welcome :) i just posted more pictures into another reply if you want to check them out. Doing online pastry courses, i got used to documenting everything for my teachers

[-] scrion@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 weeks ago

tysm ❤️ someday i'll ditch the computer to do that full time instead :)

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 weeks 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 :)

[-] M33@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 weeks ago

This calls for a tic-tac-toe game ☺️

[-] Sunlightl@fedia.io 7 points 4 weeks ago

Looks amazing!

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

ty ^^

the disaster, fifteen times in a row:

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

SCRUMPTIOUS
