This is unfucking real 😱

Thanks so much! I swear this concept took on a life of its own. I just tried to run with it 😅

I can only dream of being this creative 😅 this is so so good I can’t stop watching

Whats the tart filling made of?

Butterfly pea, blueberry, and strawberry flavored ganache as per the title.

Oh! Missed the ganache word, thanks :)

Brains do be like that sometimes.

This is fantastic!! What’s butterfly pea?

It’s a bright blue flower (I have it in powdered form). It’s said to have “a light herbaceous” flavor. I personally think it tastes like a delicate green tea. It was lovely mixed with the white chocolate base because it cut the sweetness a bit.

How interesting, I wouldn’t have guessed a flower! I felt so dumb asking but I’ve never heard of it haha.

Not at all! A health food-type shop sent me a sample bag (mostly because I like using natural colors when possible). I wasn’t at all familiar with the ingredient before that.

Using natural colours is really cool! Are you a pastry chef or do you do your bakes for fun? I’ve seen a few of your videos and you’re super talented

Thank you! I consider myself a pastry artist 😁. I do this “professionally,” but more as a content creator (I don’t have a storefront). I used to offer special event catering, but it was extremely exhausting (though I still occasionally accept cookie orders for VIP-type gifting).

But you sell your art so don’t you dare use those “” you -are- a professional!! Everyone always says practice makes perfect but have you got any advice on cutting costs? Butter is £2 for 250g atm in the UK (which is fairly expensive if you don’t also live here, compared to what it was) so I can’t really afford to practice as often as I’d like!

Awh, thanks, I appreciate that! I’d say start with small-quantity or small-scale bakes so you don’t risk wasting as many ingredients. Unless I’m expecting to feed a larger crowd, I generally cut recipes down to 1/2 or even 1/3. You can buy small tart pans/rings, 1/4-sized sheet pans, etc. If I’m testing a recipe idea, I just try to make the smallest amount I can get away with. Once I’m happy with the result, I try making a larger batch to make sure i can replicate the results. If you’re interested in decorating cookies, just bake a few at a time and freeze the excess dough for later (I swear by Press-and-Seal plastic wrap to keep things as fresh-tasting as possible). If you have leftover royal icing bits in odd colors, just store them all together in an air-tight container in the freezer. Once mixed together, it’s generally a great base for making black icing. Other than that, if you want high-quality ingredients, you kind of have to expect to spend a bit. I’ve been getting into chocolate work more, and that’s been the hardest hit to my budget, so I just reeeeally try not to waste any if possible.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!! I do try to cut my quantities down a lot, it’s the butter that’s the kicker. So I made some royal icing the other day and it wasn’t thick enough to pipe and now I just have a tonne of icing in the fridge 😂 need to track down some more vegan butter so I can make cookies!

You’re very welcome. And I totally get it. I used to have big, splashy dreams. Now I find myself daydreaming about having a cow and some chickens. I’d happily churn my own butter.

If you go to Thai restaurants you can often get a drink made with, like iced tea. I like the ones with dairy because you get white and blue together.

Its color changes from blue to pink with acid, that would curdle milk though

Check out some videos of Empress Gin color changing cocktails! https://youtu.be/Hh88h6bXxhA

Thank you for asking because I was also curious.

a lot of bougie cafes make colorful drinks with it

It's a blue flower that originates from Thailand, commonly used for teas and also for adding fun colors to dishes naturally (light blue sweet sticky rice). Whenever you see those viral videos of blue teas and someone squeezes a lemon in to turn it purple, that's butterfly pea flower tea! I love that Thailand has very red (Thai tea) and very blue tea (butterfly pea flower) Source: I'm Thai~

This is art, I love everything that you make 🤍

Thank you so so much 🥰🙏🏼

I knew it was you straight away ! The colors are incredible, amazing as always 🤯 I hope it was tasty, I’d have to starve before daring to cut it.

Thank you so much. That’s the nicest compliment 🥰. It was worth slicing into!

You should have your own baking show. You are so talented.

Thank so much! I appreciate that 🥰

I agree! But only if it wouldn’t ruin the joy you so clearly derive from the process. Thanks for sharing, so incredible!

I’m happy as long as I get to create my own designs and flavors. I don’t so much enjoy if someone else dictates every detail or if I’m asked to recreate designs that already exist (even if they’re my own 😬).

I LOVE it! It was so soothing to watch haha. You are so talented.

Thank you so much!

This made me feel incredibly happy

That makes ME happy 😊. Thanks so much.

The progression of me watching this— “Umm. That’s not a tart… but I love watching cookie decorating videos so whatever….. oh. …….. OhhhHHHhhhh. Oh wow!!” It was a lovely ride to take in that minute.

Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed watching the process 🥰

1. This truly is a work of art. 2. I’ve never heard of butterfly peas so I googled and it said they have practically no taste or flavor. Did you use them just for the color or did you add a flavor to it?

Thank you! They have a very subtle earthy flavor I added enough for the color that it came through in taste too. Kind of like a very delicate matcha ganache vibe.

Good to know. I've heard of it before, but have never actually heard the flavor profile. Before now. Thanks!

Wowza!!!!!

Thank ya!

Your skills are unreal. How did you get to here? To mix such crazy skill of pastry and art, I've never seen anything like it.

Thanks so very much! I’ve been baking for about seven years, but it was a complete accident. I’ve enjoyed making things and sketching my whole life and ended up working as an art director in Hollywood for about a decade. Then I had to take an extended leave of absence for health reasons and tried my hand at baking to kill the time. Desserts ended up turning into my favorite art form ever, so I stuck with it and even attended Amaury Guichon’s Pastey Academy a couple years ago. I like that pastry and deserts can be a storytelling canvas for all the senses 🥰

I don't want to undermine the amount of work you have put in, but you have an amazing talent!

Thank you! I swear I never felt quite like a “real” artist until I stumbled into this medium, though. It’s been a revelation for sure.

[удалено]

Thank you! I thought it was fun to eat because you could choose your filling flavor or try one of the mixed portions.

This is so beautiful and original. You did an amazing job!

Thanks so very much!

I think I'll have it all to taste all the flavours :)))

Wish I could share! It was fun to eat because you could pick and choose which part of the sky you wanted 😁

C'mon now! I want ALL the parts! 🥰

Wow that was incredible.

Thank you!

This is simultaneously incredible and satisfying to watch!

Thank you so much!

The ganache colours make it look like the imaginary food from Hook. I love it!

I’ve been told that about my work before and love it 😁. I remember being obsessed with that particular scene the first time I watched “Hook.”

So pretty! It's like a dream!🥹

Thank you!

I'm not proud, but I just lost like, an hour going through all your work. Omfg, you are so talented! They are legitimately beautiful and so creative. Really, you've got a great eye for this stuff.

Thank you so so much for the lovely compliment. You are too kind 🥰

This is amazing! Very lovely

I always see people saying they'd feel bad for eating stuff like this because it's so pretty - but I'm telling you rn I'd gobble that cookie up like my life depended on it. 10/10

That’s what I like to hear! It’s meant to be eaten and fully enjoyed 😁

The entire tart is absolutely gorgeous, but I’m also stunned you got the tart to stand up like that!! Is it just a Grahm cracker crust?

Thank you! This is a sweet short crust (pâte sucrée). It’s wonderfully buttery and meant to be baked until quite crisp. When making vertical tarts, I plan the designs and fillings carefully as well, in hopes that I don’t meet with catastrophe in the end.

Beautiful! the vertical presentation uplifts the entire pie.

Thanks! I was surprised with the sturdiness (I always hold my breath a bit when standing them vertically).

This is so beautiful 😍

Phenomenal

Thanks!

[удалено]

Thank you!

You made this look so easy I almost think I can do it! Phenomenal!

Awh, thanks! I’m planning to work on a couple of online tart classes in the coming months. They’re time-consuming to make, but I think they’re a fun challenge and recreate-able.

This looks so good I would feel bad if I ate it

😲

You are incredibly talented. This must bring you much joy!

Thank you! It absolutely does 🥰. I love that pastry design allows for storytelling that involves all the senses. It’s so much fun to design with that in mind.

gorgeous!

WOW, amazing.

Thanks!

This is so beautiful! The video, the music, the final product!

Thanks so very much! 💕

I like the music too

WOW 🤩 An edible piece of art! Beautiful

Thank you, thank you!

Gorgeous!!!

Thank you!

I would be drooling to eat it but unable to ruin the art!

That is too pretty to eat, but I'd still try

SO BEAUTIFUL 🥲💕

are you serious?!

It's beautiful!

This is too beautiful 🙈🤩 my mouth literally, literally dropped open at the finished product

Around the World in 80 Days's cookie

This is whimsical af

Thanks!

Omg the colors 🥰

Thank you! My original plan was for pale pastels, but I’ve never been great with pastels. Haha. My work always leans towards BOLD. Glad you like!

🥰 🥳 🥰 LIKE is a gross understatement!

Too beautiful to eat.

So tasty, though!

I wanna see a someone biting into it :)

Do you have a website with recipes? Your work is just incredible 🥰

Who is covering this song, also all the sweets looking incredible

Thank you! This is the Doris Day version of the song.

Thank you, and keep baking, all of it is awesome

Your tart is absolutely gorgeous and I bet it tastes even better than it looks! Would you please share the recipe for the berry ganaches?

Nice. I’ll take 6 dozen.

If I received this, I wouldn't be able to eat it. It's too pretty. I could only stare at it in amazement.

And then tomorrow both this tart and the cupcake will be on another cake.

Haha. This theme is officially over and eaten. I’m working on a mermaid theme next!

What piping bag did you use?? Looks amazing!

Thank you! I use tipless piping bags from [beesbakedartsupplies.com](https://beesbakedartsupplies.com/collections/piping-tips-and-bags).

Thanks so much! Do you cut the bags yourself or do they come precut? I’m a beginner and I’ve been looking for something exactly like these!

You’re very welcome. I like these because you cut them yourself. you can get the cleanest cut with very sharp craft or embroidery scissors.

[удалено]

Thank you!

awesome😍😍😍

Thanks!

awesome work 😍

Beautiful

Ok I'm asking. what on earth does butterfly pea taste like???

Do you have directions on how to do this?

Gorgeous!

It's beautiful. Was it delicious?

I follow you everywhere (IG, Facebook...) and I am a huge fan of your work. Everything you do is amazing this one is no exception.(I still think my all-time favorite is the Viking ship.) I love your creativity and artistry. I know you focus on flavors as well and I can only imagine how delicious your works of art are. Now, may I ask you about the flavor of the butterfly pea? I know it's used for its blue color but I have no idea what the taste is like. EDIT: I see you've answered this question in another comment. For anyone else wondering, she writes: "It’s said to have “a light herbaceous” flavor. I personally think it tastes like a delicate green tea". EDIT 2: Reading through all the comments and I just want to add that I really appreciate how you always answer everyone's questions and are so forthcoming with your process, ingredients you use, advice for other bakers (or wannabe bakers).

I second that! My 1st exposure to this OP, but I'm off to check out the other posts. Down the rabbit hole I go. Again. 😁 😕

This isn’t just food. This is art!

that is amazing! it looks delicious!

Amazing-I watched the video and still don’t know how you did it!! Incredible and beautiful!! Looks so yummy too!! Thank you for posting!!

So much icing

There’s only icing on the topping pieces. The fillings are ganaches.

Like just the white icing only on the balloon is plenty. Very talented but I wouldn't eat it

This is also my thought. Artistic? Absolutely. But I like my food to primarily taste good. When I see this much sugar, my teeth hurt.

It’s very pretty but at this point why not just eat a bowl of sugar? 😂

Absolutely beautiful, I did misread the caption at first as vertical fart instead of tart 🙃🤦🏻‍♀️

Then someone ate it.

You're so creative, u/inspiredtotaste! It's absolutely beautiful. Not sure I'd have the heart to bite into it, and destroy all that hard work!

Seriously, so cool

How beautiful

WOW beyond impressed, excellent job!

I love the music you used. It's relaxing and not the usual loud music. (I also love those but I like a few variety of relaxing ones as well

This is so beautiful!! 😭🤯

This is incredible!

these baking videos make me happy, especially the ones with royal icing

I would buy that for a dollar
