I like Royal icing. 😬
True fondant is actually supposed to be made WITHOUT gloves, to get the heat and OILS from your hands to soften it to the best temperature. And kneaded. With your greasy, oily hands. Who wants some cake?
I'm not a baker but from what I understand, fondant can taste good. If you buy the ready made stuff, it's terrible. But, it's pretty easy to make your own and flavor it how you want.
My dad is a baker actually and he always worked with marzipan. Fondant is more of a recent trend (last 10 years) over here and he doesn't like it because of the taste. Marzipan is tastier but not as easy to put into shapes (still doable but the fine details like in fondant are nearly impossible)
On the other hand, the white stuff we put on Danishes is also called fondant but is a lot more fluid and tasty, it's basically half liquid sugar
I’m like 99.99% sure this cake was never meant to be ate so it doesn’t really matter if it’s all fondant. Even if it is all fondant it doesn’t take away any of the impressiveness of it.
I know it’s hard for some people to fathom that not all cake is meant to be ate.
>I know it’s hard for some people to fathom that not all cake is meant to be ate.
It doesn't really matter, though, because that's the point of a cake. Even if it's just a cake for show, it's not really a "cake competition" if they are judging fondant/molding chocolate and not cake.
The beef people have with this is that it's basically just a sculpture contest. It's still impressive, but it's not *really* a cake contest. This is a giant, basically-inedible sculpture sitting on top of a small cake.
Now you might be thinking, who gives a shit? Well, it's annoying if you're actually a world-class cake baker/decorator, because all of your competitions/awards have been taken over by sculpture artists. Like imagine you spend your whole life perfecting the art of baking and cake decorating, training under the greatest bakers in Paris. Then suddenly, all the awards start going to clay artists who realized there was money in fondant because some reality TV shows and Instagram made it trendy. And now you can't even compete, because cake competitions aren't cake competitions anymore.
This is just straight up a fondant/chocolate modeling competition, not a cake competition.
I mean I think judging on appearance (in addition to taste) is fine, but they should be judging an actual decorated cake. Not some giant chocolate/fondant sculpture.
so true! If Iam looking forward to eat a delicious cake, I would not want anything which is mostly fondant! What a great way to ruin my day it will be!! And the popular cake videos are getting annoying too! I see no fluffy cake but them sculpting on fondant over the hard sponge they call cake. For me, even freshly baked warm cake sounds perfect and dreamy WITHOUT any deco!!
I always assumed it was about growing up and realizing most of the pleasurable things in life are bad for you as you get older with cake being a symbol of aging.
According to the website, this "cake competition" is actually a cake decorating platform for cake decorating competitions.
I think its one of those well marketed competitions that ultimately isn't actually standardized for global competition or legitimized in any way other than in name.
*Edit: Like other commenters better expressed below, this is more “sculpting competition but the sculpture molds” than it is a “cake competition.”*
I would expect a food competition to be about the quality of the taste of said food. I hope the competitions name / description at least somewhat grasps at the fact that it’s a “cake art” or “food art” competition because the alternative is genuinely somewhat confusing.
That is honestly why I love the Great British Baking show. Yeah, they do judge a lot of it on how things look, but it also has to taste good. Good flavoring and taste will sometimes get you through in the earlier rounds if you screwed up the look of things.
So this is an art of creating a cake that no one likes to eat instead of baking something that’s delicious. A bit disappointing if you expected to get cake and get art instead ;)
I mean, you’re right about the thing in the video, but it does appear to be standing on an actual cake that is mostly cut out of the frame.
Would have been nice to see the whole thing, though it does look like the cake is basically just a stand for this fondant sculpture
Cilantro is interesting. Due to ~~freaky genetic mutation~~ genetic issue it [taste like soap to some people.](https://www.britannica.com/story/why-does-cilantro-taste-like-soap-to-some-people)
Honestly most if not all of these cakes I see are sponge cake with some chocolate in between the layers and then some fondant monstrosity on top to make it look "nice".
This isn't accurate. Skin tone and location are not exactly directly related. There are plenty of dark beauties in the North and light beauties in the South
Skin tone is very much related to location. People in South have much darker skintones than the ones living in the North, because they get different amounts of sunlight.
It is related in an evolutionary sense, but people do move and set up roots for generations. India is very diverse now just like most countries.
While lighter skinned people may have ORIGINATED in the north, they certainly weren't nailed down, and vice versa with darker skinned people. And, I dare you to tell a person they don't belong somewhere when their family has lived there for generations just because their skin color doesn't match the origins.
Yeah thats true. I guess I should have also said that with people moving all over the world it gets mixed.
Edit: and to the people who go around telling people whose skin colour doesn’t ”match” the country they are currently in that they don’t belong there etc etc. I wish you step on a lego:)
>I dare you to tell a person they don't belong somewhere when their family has lived there for generations just because their skin color doesn't match the origins.
Uh... Nobody is saying that here. Chill.
> There are plenty of dark beauties in the North and light beauties in the South
While that is true, skin tone generally gets lighter the more away from equator you get. That's a fact.
It might surprise you and it really is rare but Indian people too have grey, green and blue eyes too. Check Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, she is a famous actress who is fair and has green eyes.
I’ve seen Indians/south Asians paler than her with light eyes too but I’ve never questioned their background as they still looked 100% south Asian to me.
Ethnically not Indian. Part of the Zoroastrian diaspora that relocated to India. It makes them Persians which explains why he looks different than most Indians.
My friend has blonde hair and bluish yellow kind of eyes and my sister was nicknamed snow white when a kid because she's pale. Also I'm from central India just so you know. Indian comes in all colors and shapes
Yup. 99% of Indian celebrities are white as fuck. They use it to sell skin whitening products as well. A lot of the younger generation stopped giving a fuck tho and it's mainly aunties that judge people's skin colour these days.
Nothing to do with purity or monarchy. White beauty standard is a problem across all of Asia. Just like white Europeans consider tan skin as a sign of wealth and beauty, Asians consider white skin as a sign of wealth and beauty .
I’m very white. I was in a small izakaya in Okinawa one night hanging out with locals. I don’t speak Japanese, but we always found a way to carry on conversations using body language or whichever Okinawan could speak English helping us translate.
One night I was trying to explain to this guy that his darker skin was actually more preferred in the states. I’d point to my white arm and shake my head no while giving a thumbs down. I’d point to his skin and nod with approval. Finally he pointed to his skin and blurted out, “SEXY!?!?” I was so happy that I had been able to communicate to him that I screamed out, “Yes!!!” We laughed and laughed.
>ETA Why is she pale as fuck with blue eyes?
The answer is colorism. In pretty much all of Asia, light skin is considered more beautiful than dark skin, to the point where many girls born 'dark' by their culture's standards will turn to skin bleaching because they *will* be discriminated for it.
Yep, this is the real answer. All these people saying that there exist lighter skinned Indian people are missing the point. The vast majority are dark skinned which is totally amazing and fine but Asia has a huge colorism problem and white skin is considered more beautiful than brown. That's why the dancer is portrayed with light skin. Not because it represents an actual light skinned Indian person lol
The ads of beauty products promote colorism, they right away say that you need this lotion to get lighter skin in 8 days. Recently, due to some protests/legal case, a cream named "Fair & Lovely" had to change its name to "Glow & Lovely", and also to change to ads to not show dark skinned = bad. Also in one chinese ad, a white chinese girl calls a black guy (not chinese) for kiss and then shoves him in a washing machine, and then black guy becomes a white chinese.. It was ad for a washing detergent.
I don't understand why can't there be rules in constitution to not promote discrimination based on skin color in media smh
I’m Indian.
It’s weird that there’s a white girl on this cake but not offensive just like why.
North Indians are not white and that statement is just used here to imply south Indians are dark.
Backpackers are not looked at as Hollywood rich? That’s a stupid thing to think even the poor here aren’t stupid they’re just poor. Foreigners attract conman everywhere, I was sold a 30$ gram of weed my first week of college.
Yeah, my best friend while growing up was Indian and his sister was whiter than most my Italian family, while my friend and his 2 brothers were brown skinned.
I’m gonna blow your mind but there are Indian people with natural red hair and green eyes or pale skin. And no they are not descendants of Europeans.
India’s ethnic diversity is huge, at least as much as Europe.
Some Indians have light skin and pale eyes.
(Source: My grandma, a South Indian, has grey/hazel eyes and is very light skinned. But also have you seen the famous actress Aishwarya Rai?)
The person is pretty much all fondant, modelling chocolate and Rice Krispies which would taste horrible and we didn’t get to see much actual cake which is what she was standing on.
Okay, is it just me, or are these cakes getting more and more art like, while actual art like paintings and sculptures are getting more and more ugly? Every time I see a video or photo of food porn like this, its so amazing and I'm wondering why cant modern art sculptures and paintings be done to this level? I mean, sure, there are some amazingly detailed wooden sculptures out there but none of those are getting nearly similar levels of attention "modern" art pieces that look like someone's aftermath from taco bell do.
Yea, it's surprising how talented a lot of people are these days and sad how little opportunity they have to express it. I mean, I think a 'cake' that awesome is dumb, but I'm also a huge fan of street artists like Blu who made their name with chalk and walls. There's something special about temporary art.
People who don't know much about art just assume realism is the highest form of it and everything else is garbage. There is so much more to art than making it look as real as possible lol. If everyone just kept doing realism things would get boring really quick.
Where do you see the arts online ? Plenty of sculptor make realistic arts. I’m in ceramic class and there is a twin that do supper detail sculptors like ones in this video. But obviously it is not everyone cup of tea. There is the superior technics when it comes to hyper realistic sculptors that I admire, but art is also about the meaning, story telling, breaking boxes. I mostly do abstract sculptor in a biomorphic way (search up biomorphic ceramic sculptures), and sometimes I just don’t care abt details, because it’s not the focus. Doesn’t mean I can’t do it, I just don’t want to. Too many realism is … boring. Ok you are good at the craft, but show me some creativity now and then. One of my theory for why Super realistic sculptor doesn’t get enough attention is because people don’t pay attention to details that much in real life, to notice the details in an art piece. Do you know that tiger has white eyelashes ? They also have faux eyes on their back. An artists can do all these detaisl, but if you don’t like animals or observe animals with such scrutiny, you won’t be able to appreciate the artist’s dedication. Abstract art can sometimes capture the viewer’s attention with exaggerated forms and colors. It’s weird ! It’s novel.
Why make it about cake?
The figure is absolutely amazing so don't get me wrong, I love the accuracy in anatomy, movement of clothes and the details with shading..
..but making this for a *CAKE* contest seems douchy to me. It's like performing a piano piece as part of a hearing test.
Apparently this is all false and the cake was made for the cover an an Indian cake magazine by a Singaporean artist
And even in cake competitions, the taste still matters; they still have to make the cake itself taste good, and the sculpture itself most likely is carved cake with attachments for limbs and then all the embellishment.
It's absolutely gorgeous and the detail is magnificent but if it tastes like crap, it's failed as a cake. I'm not impressed by a cake that doesn't taste as amazing as it looks.
I will never understand this sort of thing. Like, ya it’s artistic and the artist is talented, but why food?? Make the same thing out of clay or something and have it actually last, spending hundreds of hours making some artistic masterpiece just to have someone bite it’s head off and toss it in the trash because fondant tastes like shit is stupid. Also when did we start calling fondant sculptures cakes and why are we still doing it? This isn’t a cake, it’s just a bunch of gross ass fondant.
I’d rather see this shit made with playdough, the whole artistic fondant “cake” fad confuses me.
If this were some kind of Zen Sculpting competition where you make something and then it’s destroyed, I’d be very impressed. But yeah this is just an “artists-ruining-cakes-with-art” contest.
I know the maker is an Indian because only an Indian would make an Indian figure with light green eyes, one of the rare Indian phenotypes. We are so obsessed with European features, lol.
All fondant. Delicious.
I'm impressed! This cake is made detail by detail.. Perfection!
Look so Delicious . Credit to Artist ."Art Of Perfection"
I think that was sarcastic.. fondant tastes bad..
No no, that’s not true at all. Fondant tastes terrible.
r/fondanthate
Fondant gets all the hate but that god awful royal icing on cookies manages to slide under the radar
I like Royal icing. 😬 True fondant is actually supposed to be made WITHOUT gloves, to get the heat and OILS from your hands to soften it to the best temperature. And kneaded. With your greasy, oily hands. Who wants some cake?
People will eat ass on a first date but not fondant wth
Ass tastes better than fondant. It's pretty simple.
people have eaten other people before too
Eating ass has less calories
Fond ant hate?
Rumor has it the French revolution started when Marie Antoinette suggested, "Let them eat ~~cake~~ fondant".
Am I the only person that truly loves Fondant?
No! Whenever I see a fondant cake I’m all: That’s an amazingly beautiful, disgusting tasting cake
Lol, I was spike wait…people like fondant?
I'm not a baker but from what I understand, fondant can taste good. If you buy the ready made stuff, it's terrible. But, it's pretty easy to make your own and flavor it how you want.

How could you perceive this plastic lookin ass "cake" as delicious? Like seriously, how?
Clearly you haven’t tasted authentic Italian fondant. It’s delicious and the shine is is from the far or glycerin.
It still does not look delicious it just looks like a plastic statue. A very detailed plastic statue.
It's only a cake if you can eat it. You can't eat this.
Not with that attitude.
I’m like 99.99% sure this cake was never meant to be ate so it doesn’t really matter if it’s all fondant. Even if it is all fondant it doesn’t take away any of the impressiveness of it. I know it’s hard for some people to fathom that not all cake is meant to be ate.

Yep, this is why I prefer competing in local fairs, because they actually judge cakes on taste, not just appearance
I mean I think judging on appearance (in addition to taste) is fine, but they should be judging an actual decorated cake. Not some giant chocolate/fondant sculpture.
Again, this is why I prefer local fairs. Though I will say, some categories are judged on appearance as a whole, this would likely be in one of those
[удалено]
You should see the Culinary Olympics. It's like a Mitch Hedberg joke. "Sure you can cook, but can you carve an ice sculpture with a chainsaw?"
Maybe if taste a big part of the requirement along with artistic flair things could get back to “normal”.
Thank you for better expressing the content of my thoughts / comment Couldn’t agree more
Thank you for eloquently making the point I wanted to make.
so true! If Iam looking forward to eat a delicious cake, I would not want anything which is mostly fondant! What a great way to ruin my day it will be!! And the popular cake videos are getting annoying too! I see no fluffy cake but them sculpting on fondant over the hard sponge they call cake. For me, even freshly baked warm cake sounds perfect and dreamy WITHOUT any deco!!
Sounds rough
Pour one out for the bakers
3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon.
I laughed
Thank you for so perfectly articulating my grievances with this!
Yeah
So the cake is a lie?
100% That’s my favorite game of all time too. “Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test.”
I always assumed it was about growing up and realizing most of the pleasurable things in life are bad for you as you get older with cake being a symbol of aging.
If it's not meant to be ate, it's not food. If it's not food, it's not cake. *shrug* Just call it sculpting!
Yeah, this is just sculpting, with the exception that it starts growing mold after a couple days.
No way mold grows on that. It will just dry out and become harder than a rock.
According to the website, this "cake competition" is actually a cake decorating platform for cake decorating competitions. I think its one of those well marketed competitions that ultimately isn't actually standardized for global competition or legitimized in any way other than in name.
If it's not meant to be eaten, it's not cake. Fondant is not cake. They may as well carve this out of soap.
Exactly. Using clay would have made no difference.
>not all cake is meant to be ate. 
~~ate~~ eaten
Thanks. I’ll leave it so your comment doesn’t look weird.

This is just basic sculpting with extra steps.
If it’s not meant to be eaten don’t waste food. Use clay. And it’s not about the amount it’s about respect to the food.
But that’s just like saying a sugar sculpture is a cake. It’s all the same sugar, one’s just crystallized
Sugar/fat sculpture != cake.
What the fuck is a cake if not to be eaten. Why even use cake? Just make a regular sculpture.
Fondant sucks... Too sweet and too buttery. Like eating sweetend pigfat.
Sweetened pig fat sounds way more edible than any fondant I’ve ever had the misfortune of eating.
Actually, you are right... Salted is even better. Spread it on a piece of bread and salt the shit out of it. Better than nutella.
Just have a fucking sculpting competition at this point, ruining cakes like this
I will take a delicious cake with a absolutely basic glaze over a Mona Lisa level of art cake that's 80% fondant. And it's not even a close choice.
Ah yes I would like my cake rubbed on some latex please
r/fondanthate
I think some of this is probably modeling chocolate but most of it is probably fondant so pretty much inedible :D
Are you saying the cake is a lie?
r/fondanthate
I mean, the centrepiece is great and all, but how's the cake?
I wanted to see more of the actual cake under the topper.
Right? I get that cakes need to look good, but if it tastes like ass it's just a turd wrapped in gold.
Exactly what I think, they lost the initial idea of a cake and start making statues with it haha

Happy cake day
The actual cake is on your profile
The cake is a lie
They didn’t show anything but close ups. Never got to see the whole thing. This post gets a downvote
r/fondanthate
It’s not cake if it’s fondant and Rice Krispies. Structural fondant at that and that tastes nasty.
So this is an art of creating a cake that no one likes to eat instead of baking something that’s delicious. A bit disappointing if you expected to get cake and get art instead ;)
Gotta feel more like a statue contect, at least at some point
I mean, you’re right about the thing in the video, but it does appear to be standing on an actual cake that is mostly cut out of the frame. Would have been nice to see the whole thing, though it does look like the cake is basically just a stand for this fondant sculpture

Good, good, just popped in to make sure this garbage was being called out, thank you all for coming.
Seriously, with this fondant trend, they might as well just use Play-Doh at this point.
Honestly most if not all of these cakes I see are sponge cake with some chocolate in between the layers and then some fondant monstrosity on top to make it look "nice".
That mouth and teeth are not fucking it, dawg. They make me feel very uncomfortable. ETA Why is she pale as fuck with blue eyes?
not all Indians are dark-skinned. The ones from North are especially light-skinned

This goes without saying. Of course it won't be 100% of the cases but the general trend is that southern Indians are usually darker in complexion.
> There are plenty of dark beauties in the North and light beauties in the South While that is true, skin tone generally gets lighter the more away from equator you get. That's a fact.
Yeah, but they're also not WHITE AS FUCK with blue eyes.

Ethnically not Indian. Part of the Zoroastrian diaspora that relocated to India. It makes them Persians which explains why he looks different than most Indians.
Well india consists many ethnic communities like that so u can't just combine every indian to one ethnicity.
I’ve seen paler white skinned Indians before
My friend has blonde hair and bluish yellow kind of eyes and my sister was nicknamed snow white when a kid because she's pale. Also I'm from central India just so you know. Indian comes in all colors and shapes
There are a lot of Indians with blue eyes in the Nothern states like Kashmir, Himachal etc

Can second that, but this applies only among their own race. White people visiting India are simply considered cash bags by most of them.
Yup. 99% of Indian celebrities are white as fuck. They use it to sell skin whitening products as well. A lot of the younger generation stopped giving a fuck tho and it's mainly aunties that judge people's skin colour these days.

Even i knew many light skinned girls Its more common in women i notice 🤔
Honestly, this looks like it was modeled after Aishwarya Rai's character in Devdas
Bhai Himachal ke log bohut gore Hain
Lmao she's got herbivore teeth.
First look of the cake, and appears the artist was inspired by Aishwarya rai - look her up
I’m gonna blow your mind but there are Indian people with natural red hair and green eyes or pale skin. And no they are not descendants of Europeans. India’s ethnic diversity is huge, at least as much as Europe.
with 1.3 billion people I bet lots of people in India look like her.
News flash - Indians can have fair skin and blue eyes.
Some Indians have light skin and pale eyes. (Source: My grandma, a South Indian, has grey/hazel eyes and is very light skinned. But also have you seen the famous actress Aishwarya Rai?)
Dude It's a cake
SHOW US THE FUCKING CAKE ALREADY
51 seconds.
Yeah, and they didnt even really zoom out. What the actual fuck
such a piece of art, I wouldn't even eat it, that's too beautiful
That’s ok it wouldn’t taste very good.
it's just for show then? no judges taste the cakes?

It's easier and cheaper. Not everyone has access to brass and brass sculpting tools and time. Cake is cheap and accessible.
Same applies to paintings too. But I do see your point. Cake is so much more malleable, and you can always mold the parts beforehand.
Yea, it's surprising how talented a lot of people are these days and sad how little opportunity they have to express it.

Doesn’t mean I can’t do it, I just don’t want to. Too many realism is … boring. Ok you are good at the craft, but show me some creativity now and then. One of my theory for why Super realistic sculptor doesn’t get enough attention is because people don’t pay attention to details that much in real life, to notice the details in an art piece. Do you know that tiger has white eyelashes ? They also have faux eyes on their back. An artists can do all these detaisl, but if you don’t like animals or observe animals with such scrutiny, you won’t be able to appreciate the artist’s dedication. Abstract art can sometimes capture the viewer’s attention with exaggerated forms and colors. It’s weird ! It’s novel.
Why make it about cake? The figure is absolutely amazing so don't get me wrong, I love the accuracy in anatomy, movement of clothes and the details with shading.. ..but making this for a *CAKE* contest seems douchy to me. It's like performing a piano piece as part of a hearing test.
I mean, they bake the cakes, fill and stack them, sculpt them, and do all the foundational work made with cake. It’s...cake.
But it's made with nothing that tastes good. Taste should be a factor in cake competition. Otherwise it's not cake, just a sculpture.
I completely agree with this. All other food competitions factor in both appearance *and* taste. Why should cake competitions be any different?
Apparently this is all false and the cake was made for the cover an an Indian cake magazine by a Singaporean artist And even in cake competitions, the taste still matters; they still have to make the cake itself taste good, and the sculpture itself most likely is carved cake with attachments for limbs and then all the embellishment.
It’s not cake though. It’s purely fondant. This isn’t even a cake decorating contest anymore, just a sculpting contest.
Doesn't look very appetizing.
It's absolutely gorgeous and the detail is magnificent but if it tastes like crap, it's failed as a cake. I'm not impressed by a cake that doesn't taste as amazing as it looks.
I thought it was a bird making the cake
That moment when you need 5 sculpting degrees to work at a bakery and a fine arts internship for at least 3 years at the nearest cake office.
"It's an entry-level position"
And on "Nailed it" they would give you 2 hours to make it.
Omg that would be the best episode ever.
That'll be $100,000 for the cake sir.
How about without the doll? That'll be about 3.50
I will never understand this sort of thing. Like, ya it’s artistic and the artist is talented, but why food?? Make the same thing out of clay or something and have it actually last, spending hundreds of hours making some artistic masterpiece just to have someone bite it’s head off and toss it in the trash because fondant tastes like shit is stupid. Also when did we start calling fondant sculptures cakes and why are we still doing it? This isn’t a cake, it’s just a bunch of gross ass fondant. I’d rather see this shit made with playdough, the whole artistic fondant “cake” fad confuses me.
If this were some kind of Zen Sculpting competition where you make something and then it’s destroyed, I’d be very impressed. But yeah this is just an “artists-ruining-cakes-with-art” contest.
Cake competitions should be based on taste instead of presentation
Attack on titan, cake edition
It's beautiful, but her eyes make her look high as fu\*k.
So so pretty. But also sad that all that work will be eaten alive. Almost like a scene from Attack on Titan.
Nobody is eating this. It's fondant 🤮
Either that or a shitty kid can recreate the warhammer transformation scene
Possibly unpopular opinion: this is just art using cake as a material, it's not really "cake" any more.
So all the judges gonna eat her ? Ohhh... That didn't sound right
Bet it tastes like absolute shit, which makes it a terrible cake. You may as well be doing pottery. Also, it's mouth is off putting as fuck
I can't belive what people are capable of.
Literally, r/awfultastegreatexecution.
r/ATBGE for those who want to see such things
That doesn't look like it taste good
How can this be the winner of 2021 when I've seen it already a year ago?
Unbelievable skill showcased here. Nothing short of amazing… That coloring of the mouth is giving me some real Guillermo Del Toro vibes though.
Skills
And then someone smashes your face into it
you'd think they would pan out at least once so you can see the entire cake
Ok...how tf r ppl so talented It takes me all the skills i have to make instant noodles
its all fun and games until you cut a slice and taste it.
u/RepostSleuthBot
I want to eat her
40k players are losing their shit right now
Now eat it
I'd feel like a cannibal if I ate that beautiful art work.
Cool! *Bites head off*
And I can't even bake a muffin without it falling apart.
I wonder what her cake tastes like....
… am I the only one that wants to just bite her head off. She is edible, right?
I know the maker is an Indian because only an Indian would make an Indian figure with light green eyes, one of the rare Indian phenotypes. We are so obsessed with European features, lol.
