On Instagram, who has never been hypnotized by the cutting of a rainbow cake or the perfect lacquering of a mirror cake? The creation of Alex Yeatts, a pastry student at the Culinary Institute of America, in New York, is beyond anything we could have imagined. As part of a school project, he made cakes in the shape of an amethyst geode, a rock cavity lined with purple crystals. And the result is dazzling!
Seen from the outside, its creation looks like a large stone. It is actually a chocolate shell, which hides a real treasure! On Instagram, Alex Yeatts shared the moment he cut his cake. We discover sublime purple sugar crystals that look like amethyst. “Breaking these chocolate geodes was extremely exciting for me,” commented the apprentice pastry chef on the social network. And for good reason:the manufacturing process lasted six months, the time for the crystals made from barley sugar to form.
The talent of Alex Yeatts hit the mark, since his video has been viewed more than 6,000 times. And the young man did not stop there:he also unveiled creations lined with orange crystals. Real masterpieces!
