Desserts i made for my father's bday

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

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

Works of art. They look delicious!

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... :)

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

Seriously though those cakes look damn unreal.

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
- 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
  
  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?
- Fake! I don't see the default cube anywhere!
  
  The first pic had nine default cubes and some raspberries 🤔
- Damn, no wonder it took 4 days. Very cool.
- What the hell…. I want to tell you how awesome this is but I don’t know how. Seriously, no words, sorry.

Now do a Companion Cube cake.

that would be an idea! it's such a great motive :D

that was my first thought too!
But the cake isn't a lie?!?
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.

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

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 :)
- 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.

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

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

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 ^^

Wow those are beautiful, what are the flavors?

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
- That all sounds delicious 😊
  
  also thank you for adding photos of the process in the comments!
- Two questions, because I'm going to try something similar hear soon: 1.) Do you process the jam somehow? How do you get it to layer smoothly? I'm assuming you'd heat it up. Wouldn't that mess with the mousse outside, or do you build the core separately and then creat the outside after?
  
  2.) the mousse layer looks like icecream, how did you get that mousse cake so smooth?
  
  3..) what is champagne jelly? Is it literally champagne with enough pectin to create a jelly out of it?
  
  Lastly, are you a chef? Not many people would go out of there way for such an intricate cake. Looks fantastic! How was the flavor? Was it too rich?

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.

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

This calls for a tic-tac-toe game ☺️

Looks amazing!

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.

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

I made those for the epiphany last week:
- Looks INCREDIBLE, what kind is it?

Good desserts you made.

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.

ty ^^

the disaster, fifteen times in a row:
- Awe you're being humble; hiding all the counter cleaning and I suspect these are just the pieces you prefer to handwash.

SCRUMPTIOUS

Everything looks amazing!

CUBE

That looks pretty. And I bet it tastes how it looks

so beautiful,,, i really want it now...
