Too Beautiful to Be Eaten: The pastry chef bakes fabulous cakes

A pastry chef named Liz Joy creates pies that tell stories. She uses fairy tales and cartoons for her work.

Outwardly, the girl's pastries look like ordinary pies, but the decorations in them resemble cartoon frames or sketches from books. Gingerbread or marshmallow characters from fairy tales appear on the glazed surface.

Here on the cake is the story of Little Red Riding Hood being chased by a wolf. But the little mermaid, sitting on a stone and having lost her voice, is waiting for her prince.

Special attention should be paid to the edging of confectionery products - curls from confectionery crumbs in the form of geometric and floral ornaments. In some cases, these patterns cover the entire surface of the cake. Then it seems that it is one big snowflake. Especially if it is also sprinkled with powdered sugar.

It takes Liz Joy up to several hours to create one such sweet. And this is in case you do not need to pre-order decorations - gingerbread cookies, glazed figurines or candy canes. If all this is available, then the preparation of a fabulous cake takes 1.5 hours from the pastry chef.

An amateur confectioner prepares his incredibly tasty creations to order. To make them even more popular, Liz Joy publishes photos with their images on her social networks. There she talks about the cooking process, shows how she comes up with decorations.

To try to cook such a sweet miracle, you can use the OXO website and its section Grocery. After all, you cannot do without the necessary ingredients and decorative elements.
