<3

for my weeb friend

Legitimately the best tasting cake I've had in years. Whipped cream and cake were from scratch.

>>19312546
looks real good

good thread

>>19311247
very artistic. I'd eat the fuck out of that.

I can make opera cake but I struggle with the tempered chocolate.

>>19312890
Impressive baking anon!
This chocolate mousse cake required none of your skills lol

>>19313092
But there is tempered chocolate, something I cant do.
Honestly I'm thinking of getting a sous vide machine to use to temper chocolate.

>>19313115
I wouldn't reccomend it, water and chocolate do not mix whatsoever. No matter how careful you might be, its not worth risking seizing expensive callets. If you really want to master tempering chocolate, just keep practicing with either traditional method of seeding or tableaux.

(Speaking of cakes, picrel is a carrot cake I made in pastry school last year)

>>19313141
Yea that's true, I guess since I moved out of Arizona it should be easier to learn to do it.

>>19313168
>Arizona
Yikes, yeah, that sound rough buddy.

I make a black forest cake and 3 apple strudels every day at work and have apparently never taken a picture

>>19311217
kladakka or whatever it's spelled

>>19311217
Not me, but I'm here to show off another cake coworker did for my order

>>19313141
Very nice cake anon.

I got a tres leches in the fridge soaking overnight I'll post tommrow if thread is still up.

Going for masrated strawberry juice in the sause and a burnt meringue top to make it a bit different. Really want to go heavy on the strawberry and dairy so if you got any advice lemme know, I work in pastry but not formally educated so any tips lemme know on trying to hammer home making it more strawberry and dairy. I was thinking maybe milk powder in something or even maybe a strawberry glaze or something on top, lemme know if you got any ideas.

>>19313424
Brownie?

>>19313441
My understanding is this is illegal in the US.

>My understanding is this is illegal in the US.
I am confused. But have a message cookie I did a while back

>>19313729
bro I know nothing about bakery, what are the basics that i have to know and how do i get better?

>>19311247
nice, i like it

>>19313461
I would be careful about the strawberry anon, they contain a lot of water and could make the cake very soggy. I would suggest reducing as much as possible. As for a glaze, I would maybe do a strawberry meringue or a buttercream with using a bit of the strawberry reduction.

>>19313752
Measuring,timing, patience. And a fuck ton of practice. Start with basic shit like cookies and progress from there. Have a bullshit cake I backed myself into a corner to do. Fuck me man.

>>19313461
Strawberry powder is a thing that you may want to look into using too.

one of you fancy bakers should post a cheesecake

I love cake!

>>19315165

>>19313729
The butterflies are inedible. It's why you don't have kinder eggs.

>>19315471
If its inside the food, yeah we can't. But its on the outside. We have cake kits n shit

>>19314384
Yeah I added it to the milk mix since the cake is already soaked over night felt it would't be too bad but the water content really is too much and pushes it over, I made a very nice reduced glaze ontop and might just do that, I did try it in a meringue but idk I just didn't like it much, cool colour but didn't really have as strong a taste as i'd have liked.

>>19314922
I'm not sure how to add it fully, maybe just to the milk soak or the glaze itself, also would like to find a place close that sells it over having to bust out the dehydrator lol.

>>19311217
No pic right now, but I’ll share mine
I tried making entremets a couple Christmases ago. The layers were a genois sponge, dark chocolate ganache, orange jelly, and almond praline covered in dark chocolate mousse and a dark chocolate mirror glaze, and a little candied orange slice on top
Did everything by hand, and completed it over the course of two days. Bar none, the most challenging dessert I ever made
Didn’t exactly stick it though, the mousse was a bit weak, and the layers didn’t have enough distinct separation. I doubt I’ll try to again though, too much work
I have gained a newfound appreciation for the chefs who can crank these things out in a couple hours like on those food competitions
If I remember, I’ll try to find a photo to share

>>19311217
I made this carrot cake. It was ugly but tasted great.

>>19311247
Even if the colors seem a bit "Off", I'll bet it was delicious.
Well put together too.

>>19315441
I see wat you did there
>"Please do NOT eat the big white mint"

>>19311217
I looks like shit but I've made worse. I can't bake to save my life.

>>19316295
I got mine from Amazon, you could try extracting it into whatever liquids you add to the cake or whatever glaze/frosting you are planning to use.

These all look fucking delicious. I should try graduating from cookies, toffee, and fudge and finally try making cakes.

>>19311217
i made this
thats my story and im sticking to it

First one, blueberry cake

>>19317716
Not the prettiest but oh boy was it tasty, especially for my first experiment just bc I had some blueberries and Greek yogurt leftovers.

>>19317232
this
want to make a cake now

>>19313702
she screams

>>19316820
Yeah maybe try it in the soak mix or just chunks in the meringue.

Cake came out good with a berry glaze ontop the merange, just needs a bit more egg and I think its perfect.

>>19317716
jewberry cake

>>19311247
this is so fucking cute

>>19317716
>>19317720
I wasn't sold on the first pic but after seeing the inside I can tell you with certainty that I would absolutely demolish that.

>>19316350
>Even if the colors seem a bit "Off"

What does this even mean. You mean the combination of colors, or you're saying the "water" and "sand" should be different shades?

>>19311217
your cake looks adorable OP, 10/10 on the wholesome scale

This was my daughters 4th birthday cake

I'm impressed anons, /ck/ can definitely bake good cakes

>>19318818

>>19312546

>>19318818

>>19316451
This is one of my favourite types of cakes, and I legit love when it’s soggy from the fruit. It looks amazing anon

>>19318818

nta, AZ is OK. went for vacation up north near the cascades and i was blown away with the views. at that moment i realized how sick i was of seeing endless desert shrubs back home. had to gtfo.

>>19312546
This looks so good, fuckkkkkk

>>19315208
I'm cooming

>>19318818
Good job man, bet she loved it.

>>19311217
I made torta caprese last week. Didn't take any pictures and it is completely eaten now...
My favorite normal cake is probably red velvet w/ cream cheese icing

Anybody here made black forest gateau? I don't have any kirsch so I was thinking it might be one of those things that is better to buy than make

>>19322211
You can use any kind of schnapps, just let the cherries steep longer

>>19318818
very nice

>>19320812
How do you keep it from falling off the plate?

>>19311217
I was able to bake a somewhat edible healthy cheesecake with good macros (high protein, low fat, almost no sugar) without a base (basically the whole cake consists of just the topping). It's good and easy to prepare, but I would like to up my game and get some solid, cookie-like foundation without sacrificing the "healthy" part.
What grains / starches can I use to get some consistency? I was thinking about a granola base with some oats and plant fat, but I couldn't find any recipe

>>19322211
just soak the cherries in vodka, way better honestly

>>19323858

>>19324123
grind oats in a blender into oat flour and add some butter, mix until you have a slighty crumbly consistency. press into baking form so that there's no more cracks. bake

>>19313676
mud cake

I bake cakes for my boyfriend

>>19325632
Happy birthday

So just creamcheese?

The reason kinder eggs are illegal to import is because of the COMEPLETE CONCEALMENT of an inedible object WITHIN food. Cake decorations are not illegal, retard.

You’ll cowards don’t even bake cake

>>19324123
Oat flour or almond flour for a crust.

>>19316335
I would eat that, it looks pretty tasty.
