I could see myself eating one.

Isn't the glass a bit crunchy?

How does the mirror cake feel about me?

>>7740601
ambivalent

>>7740597
I SEE what you did there

>>7740597
ayyy

They're beautiful.

>>7740600
Think it's agar.
Presumably glass would have a far better "mouth feel" than biting into a few millimeter thick layer of agar with your cake.

>le response

>>7740592
just as shit as water drop 'cakes'

>>7740608
Wouldn't that be a blackberry cake?

>>7741334
This is probably correct, agar is better at gelling into a solid than gelatin, especially at room temperature. This allows the glaze to be very viscous before it sets. If you reapply multiple layers of glaze, you can get an extremely smooth surface. Very labor intensive, looks great, but it probably tastes like a typical sugar glaze as agar doesn't add flavor.

nice looking ponut, id dig right in

>>7740592
whats the red layer?

The next meme baking good after muffins and macarons

>>7740597
good job anon

Yeah, it's called glacage and it's pretty much just icing with some gelatin. The effect she's achieving is more to do with the fact that she gets the underlying cake extremely flat, with that thick layer of some sort of mousse or cremeux. They're like large entremets.

>>7740592
I dunno
I need time to reflect

They are called "leafs" of gelatin, and are barely different than powder, might be a touch more clear, but take longer to dissolve.

Try amazon, or a european grocery...all their brands sell it that way.

Post her insta please

They're sold by bloom number, so you don't need to figure out how to dilute on the fly for whichever firm or firmer purpose in mind.

Is this like fondant where it looks better than it tastes

>>7740608
Chicago style 'or 'za right there!

Yes because agar is made from seaweed.

Vegans will try to argue that it tastes like nothing and that gelatin tastes horrible because of the animal bone marrow, which should raise questions on its own merit.

>>7740597
ayyy lmao

>>7740597

there was an anon here who posted similar OC cakes a while back, haven't seen them in a while though

>>7744599

Legit though I mixed up some gelatin the other week and it made my whipped cream taste like animal hide. I'd rather use agar for that reason alone.

But also because I'm a weeaboo and agar agar is something that cute Japanese girls make.

>this thread reminded me that I have watermelon jello in the fridge

Too bad it doesn't taste as good as the real watermelon next to it.

Ignored as non-notable. What is a mirror cake, and how is it different from duck-pouts and cleavage shots?
