VIDEO: When She Spins the Cake it Changes Color! It’s Not Fake, It’s Science!
It seems that these days, especially after a whole bunch of cooking shows have appeared like Masterchef for example, as well as others like Cake Boss, cakes are often judged mostly on their appearance.
It is highly important that the cake looks good so that people will feel the need to eat it.
It doesn’t really matter that much if your cake tastes amazing if no one is willing to try it because it looks really bad.
Frosted flowers make us fall in love with this super sweet thing and this happens even before we’ve even had a chance to take a bite.
And this cake you will see in the video below might just be one of the most impressive looking cakes of all.
This cake has been incredibly frosted and it might even make you think you’re seeing things.
It surely is the most trippy cake that has ever have been baked until now. This cake can actually change its colors right as you are looking at it. When the cake starts to turn, the colors will change.
No, it’s not sorcery, there is no magic involved, but there is a very impressive airbrushing job that was done by CharlotteSometimes on Youtube.
Yes, it’s incredible and you might end up staring at the video and keep replaying it over and over again.
This technique is achieved by airbrushing the textured frosting. You do it from opposite directions and you use different colors.
The creator of this cake has made a tutorial to help those that want to try and recreate this masterpiece.
According to uproxx.com, this isn’t video trickery, or special icing, or CGI. This is a real cake that really does change colors when you look at it from different angles.
How it works is a play on how we perceive light, and something you can do at home, well, provided you have a food-grade airbrush at home.
Here’s how this trick works: If you look closely, you’ll notice the cake’s frosting has extremely sharp peaks, creating distinct “sides” on the icing; you can generally do this with a frosting comb or a similar decorating tool, and you’ll need to cover the cake with some pretty stiff icing for the best effect.
To blow minds at your next bake sale, you just need to spray each “side” with a different color using an airbrush. It’s essentially a lenticular effect, only instead of a baseball player swinging a bat, you’ve got different colors on a cake.
True, to pull this off you’ll need to drop at least $90 on a food-grade airbrush.
On the other hand, it’ll be entirely worth it when you spray one side of the cake black and blue and the other side white and gold, and then just leave the cake out in the break room at work. That airbrush will pay for itself by lunch.
This is how this unbelievable psychedelic cake is done, assuming you have some baking skills and are willing to try it quickly!
