Chef Ahn Pineda vs AI 😊🩷

This customized top forward carved number cake blew my mind, tested my patience and limits, left me sleepless, and gave me more anxiety than any cake I made -the last one that made me anxious was way back 2019 when I made a 2-tier buttercream cake but customer insisted make the top tier dummy or styro -man that taught me a lot.😅

Anyhow, it took me 2 days to put this cake together with a little help from my staff. I didn't have much planning time because the order came in on a Saturday for a Wednesday. I had to do the costing first, studying the sizes, visualizing if I could really pull this off before closing the sale. Sunday was rest day and rest I must because I've been down with a flu 🤧 since Friday. But Friday I was in the kitchen the whole day until 12 midnight finishing 2 cake orders, and Saturday although I had a 🤒 fever, I was also on closer duty in the cafe to cover. Saturday was slow though, just some take outs, baked a cheesecake, and did some kitchen testing to improve our newest drink in Cafe Lujo, the Rosée Daydream.🌹🍑

So Monday, I was planning to start with the toppers, however, I was still 🤧 not feeling well, and guess what, my daughter got 🤒 sick too, plus, we both wounded our foot as a spring from inside our bed stuck out and we accidentally got scratched while sleeping.😫 Huhu. So we had to go to the hospital for 💉 anti-tetanus shots. Both my arms felt heavy and I knew I couldn't work just yet. The cake and frosting were already done that day though but the decors needed to wait until Tuesday. So yeah. You got the picture.😵‍💫 I was on this cake for 2 days and the difficulty level was 10/10.😅 It was hard to make it stand and it took so much time to level and smoothen. We delivered the cake and I drove so carefully ensuring the cake's safety. Whew!

After all these years I still love a good challenge from time to time, and looking at my output? Just wow! Rating: 10/10!😍💯

AI may have made it too perfect. But beauty comes from imperfection. And for me, anything , an borne out of , is definitely a thousand times more beautiful.

And yes I worked my magic again!😍

It took me a while to conceptualize this masterpiece. I had to visualize countless times and hold the vision so clear in my mind as to how I want the layers to look like, how the colors would flow, and how every element would come together as one harmonious creation, debating on the simplest question of should this layer be blue or white, should the jelly be crystal clear or not, which fruits to use and how to incorporate them to complement both the flavor and the overall aesthetic. And that's only the creative side. The ex*****on and kitchen testing are a whole different story.😄 One thing I was determined to do was incorporate mille crêpe layers into the cake. I happen to sample mille crepe cakes when we were in HK and I really love the texture, like it just melts in your mouth.
I almost scrapped out this idea during the creative process but I'm glad I pushed through and made it happen.

Seeing the outcome, looking like a painting, with its layers reminiscent of the sea meeting the sky, those azure hues stretching toward the horizon, made it worthwhile. Yet again, I made myself proud.😊🩷

This is indeed a work of art. Edible art.
