Does anyone still remember “the cake is a lie” meme from a decade ago? It was a catchphrase popularized in the game Portal, simply meaning that one’s promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator.
If you’re looking for more ‘Overcooked’, this incredibly realistic video game is not for you.
There are plenty of posts about confectionery on Bored Panda, as there's a massive demand for sweet news. Some use cakes as a part of some imagined situation, some are in it for the unique art itself or creative choices, and some create cool desserts that are just plain creepy. No matter the preference, in baking, like in real cake, there are layers of hierarchy: only a select few become the creme de la creme, cream of the crop, top of the food chain, the icing on the cake. Ben Cullen, 28, is one of them. His cake designs have a stunning range—from something that looks like it came from a fast-food diner to edible clothes, to stylized-yet-lifelike busts, to stabs at horror movies, to vegetables and optical illusions—he can do it all, it seems. His edible art messes with your brain, too! Some of his eye tricks look better on the outside than on the inside, and some the other way around. Some things seem so delicious that you don't care what they'd actually taste like, and some you wouldn't approach from miles away (they're still probably delicious, though.) In any case, check his food art out and see for yourself. If you felt a sugar rush and you're hooked, check out his Instagram and Facebook to see even more. Who knew that the term "eye candy" could be so figuratively literal? Have a nice one.
Speaking of the craft skills and creativity of wax, Yadi Hadiyanto (45) an artist from Kuningan - Indonesia is an expert, even besides making various craft candles, amazingly Yadi can make dummy (replicas) food and drinks from candles. Yadi is very skilled in imitating food and drinks exactly like the original. The results of his creation are truly extraordinary, we find it difficult to distinguish which is fake or realistically original when compared. He made it for the purposes of restaurant displays so it is durable and does not stale quickly when using authentic food or drinks. Currently Yadi is still working at VERY CANDLE'S Indonesia as head of production.\
Pizza or Cake? Made this hyperrealistic pizza cake on Nerdy Nummies with fellow Baketopia Judge, Timbo Sullivan. 1 Hyper Realistic Pizza Cake Things you'll need Ingredients - White Vanilla Cake 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup cake flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 cup buttermilk Decorations White & red buttercream Red, dough & white colored fondant Brown, red & yellow food coloring Confectioner's glaze Green sprinkles, crushed Let's get started! Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease and line two 10-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and almond extract. On low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake 30 to 35 minutes. Let cakes cool and freeze for 15 minutes. Decoration Carve cake into a rectangle and save carvings for later. Frost the cake with buttercream. For realistic effect, don't smooth out completely. For pepperoni, roll out red fondant very thinly. Texture with crinkled aluminum foil pressing into fondant. Cut out small and medium circles for pepperoni. For crust, roll out a strip of dough colored fondant. Wrap around the edges of the cake for the crust. Gently pinch the edges around the top. Add some texture pressing with the aluminum foil. Poke toothpicks ends at top for additional texture. Airbrush crust edges with mixture of brown, red and yellow for toasted look. Add extra dimension with a darker brown for a burnt/crispy look and one with more yellow for a golden brown look. For cheese, roll out mozzarella colored fondant in a rectangle, and cut to fit on top within the crust. Round out edges, and attach to cake. Use a ball fondant tool to press in to make cheese

Can't. Believe. Our. Eyes.
