This Pastry Chef’s Cakes Are Out Of This World

If you’ve been watching the Great British Bake Off this month, there’s probably only one thing on your mind: Cake.

But as we’ve mostly had our eyes on traditional-but-messy classics such as Victoria sponge and home made short bread, a new kind of cake has emerged on the internet.

Baker Dinara Kasko was once an architect-designer and 3D visualizer before she got into baking - and we can totally see that influence upon her cooking.

The Ukrainian pastry chef creates masterpieces in a variety of 3D and geometric shapes, topped with icing that’s pretty unbelievable - many of them look like something computer generated rather than edible.

It’s not just about looks, either. Each cake is complex in its layers and flavours - this one is made up of a crunchy layer, sponge cake, cremeux and several mousses.

To truly believe each one is real-life cake, look at a cross-section of one.

Delicious, right? This one is made of “mousse lime-basil with Italian merengue, lime mousse-marshmallow, confit lime-basil, sponge cake, crunchy layer with almond”.

One more creation for SoGood magazine. Cake “Lime-basil triangulation”. Mousse lime-basil with Italian merengue, lime mousse-marshmallow, confit lime-basil, sponge cake, crunchy layer with almond. . This work with the article began in January. All ideas and forms was made by me in the winter☝🏻️The idea was to use geometrical shapes, connect the patisserie and the architecture, and make unique creations for SoGood. The work consisted from 3D modeling, 3D printing and casting silicon. I used triangulation principle for this cake. . Ещё одна работа из серии “Геометрия” для журнала SoGood. Торт “Lime-basil triangulation”. Внутри: мусс лайм-базилик с итальянской меренгой, лаймовый мусс-маршмеллоу, конфи лайм-базилик, бисквит, хрустящий слой с миндальными хлопьями. . Работу над статьёй я начала ещё в январе, все идеи были нарисованы и смоделированы мною ещё зимой☝🏻️Основная тема моих работ соединение архитектуры и кондитерского искусства, моделирование и печать моделей, работа с силиконом. В данном случае я использую принцип триангуляции для создания трёхмерной поверхности. #red#architecture #okmycake #pastryinspiration #chocolatejewels #pastryart #cake #kharkov #харьков #chefsofinstagram #gastroart #art#pastryart #dinarakasko #chefstalk #pastry #chefsofinstagram #chefs #geometry #minimal#sogoodmagazine #instadessert #foodcreation #foodartchefs #theartofplaiting#beautifulcuisine

Mmmmmm.

Kasko told So Good:

“In general, element forming is one of the main factors for me as a designer and a pastry chef,” she said.

“This is a manifestation of me as an artist, making cakes and photographing them as objects of art. Why not? Tasty and beautiful.”

Tasty and beautiful indeed.
