Instagram is full of awe-inspiring cake-making videos. Food vloggers, bakers and artists continue to wow us with their extraordinary creations. Recently, we came across one such video that has sparked a range of hilarious comparisons online. In the viral video, we first observe the cake artist pouring melted white chocolate over a surface and tempering it. Once it has been flattened, he places a stencil on top and begins to cut out long, equally sized strips of the chocolate. He places them lengthwise around a cylindrical cake. He also replicates the process for another, smaller cake tier. The next shot directly revealed the cake to be coloured in stunning hues. As the artist rotates the cake, we see it catch the light to reveal shades of yellow, orange, pink and more in a gradient effect.

In the caption, the artist revealed the cake has a black forest filling and was covered in ganache before being adorned with tempered chocolate. He also stated, "The final coating in this decor is velour: it's a mixture of chocolate and cocoa butter in a ratio of 50/50." Watch the full viral video below.
