Can I Make a Hyperrealistic CAKE Inside a CAKE.. Inside a CAKE?!

This week I'm making one of my MOST requested cakes: a cake inside a cake.. inside a cake! I don't know how I'm going to do this or if I'll even be able to pull it off 😬

[@krys7667]

I’d love to see Natalie try this cake inside a cake idea but instead of a lime and lemon, it’s nesting dolls

[@You-are-always-loved]

That's exactly what I was thinking

[@melissawood1873]

That’d be cool

[@agpanda494]

That’s what I just commented not trying to copy you I promise😂😅!

[@RJnottheraccoon]

I agree!! I also think it might be a little easier to make chocolate shells of the dolls and stack them up… but that is my opinion with no knowledge to this type of baking 😅😂

[@PiperWallace-hp3hs]

Good idea

[@charitymoritz898]

This is the most random cake I've ever seen Natalie make, and I'm so here for it. The lemon turned out great!

[@Zzz-A_Weird_Sleepyhead]

Yea! And even if the green food colouring got stuck to the modelling chocolate, the lemon still looked super hyperrealistic and I absolutely loved it!

[@AutumnTheCalico.]

Yeah!

[@CoolChicken32]

Yeah

[@BrieCheese-wy6ox]

You should make an American Girl Doll cake! ❤

[@azezaawdi4205]

i like the lemon to it's just the cooler came off and it cracked

[@sparrowwilson4514]

Either put a thin layer of cake as a barrier between lime and lemon skin (sans buttercream for the lime side) as a sort of pith layer or do the same with wafer/edible paper. I think that might work. You need something dry and absorbent between modelling chocolate and the normal chocolate as I think the moisture is what is causing the issue. And slice lemon skin with a knife for easier peeling! 😊

[@josefinarodriguez7673]

😂

[@jelly_swoosh]

​@@josefinarodriguez7673what's funny?

[@TaffyLeeFubbins]

Technically, this is one hyper realistic cake covered in a layer of hyper realistic modeling chocolate. I’m not really getting cake in a cake in a cake.

[@qwerty_qwerty]

@Melaniebrooke uh it sure looks like they were...

[@Cobaeby]

​@@TaffyLeeFubbinsagreed. I love her cakes, but she always fails at bigger ideas. She's so talented, so I dont know why she would think that this would pass for a cake in a cake in a cake. Another example I can think of is her hyper-realistic cake of a cake. She basically said her idea was to make something that looks like one flavor on the outside, but then it's a completely different flavor on the inside. But like... that's still just a cake, just with an unexpected suprise inside! She tried to make it look like a traditional slice of chocolate cake but it just looked like a regular piece of cake that was unsurprisingly vanilla inside. At least with that, she also made the cake stand and candles edible...

[@thereisonlyoneright3752]

I think you should definitely try this particular challenge again for sure! But got to be honest - I wasn't feeling 'cake within a cake within a cake' from this choice. I was expecting literally a cake (sponge/buttercream) hidden in a slightly bigger cake hidden in an even slightly bigger cake (which I appreciate sounds terribly complex to achieve). With this choice, I just got cake sponge hidden behind two layers of chocolate. Still fun to watch you make but didn't give me the cakeception satisfaction I was expecting. 👍

[@humerasial6704]

I was thinking the same thing. 😅

[@mungbean345]

I was thinking something similar, with completed cakes inside each other, in a hollowed, confetti cake style. Oops, edited to correct the cake type to pinata, not confetti. 😄

[@thereisonlyoneright3752]

​@mungbean345 Yeah that's it, completed cakes inside completed cakes. 👏 Honestly it would even work if the lemon had sponge and buttercream on the inside as well as the lime cake. But even then it'd still just be one cake within another cake (not cake x3).

[@BlueRose0616]

​@mungbean345 Ohhhh a Piñata 🪅 (hyper realistic) would be a fun cake 🎂 to watch her make!!!

[@frog_enthusiast05]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too hahaha

[@CubeCatOfficial]

im happy you still posted the video, even though it was a cake fail. You always manage to make me happy

[@LilyMassiel91]

I came here to say this, thank you for posting your vulnerability. I love your work!

[@bxluga7454]

I don't even think it was a cake fail, it still seemed to be pretty cool! Just the cutting didn't work out the way she wanted it to

[@miloutjechagny]

Maybe if you want to try again you can make Matryoshka Dolls? The cake looks great btw! Too bad it didn't work out with the lime.

[@ncityna]

I was thinking to myself thats what she should have done

[@LuckasSilver]

But there's only one cake, with two types of chocolate. I was imagining something like a hyperrealistic lemon, inside of a hyperrealistic pineapple, inside of a hyperrealistic watermelon if you were to continue with the fruit theme and actually have "cake" within a "cake" within a "cake."

[@KitKatBanana]

yeah i kinda thought so too, maybe a layer of cake outside the lime would have stopped the food coloring from spreading and the modeling chocolate from sticking

[@LuckasSilver]

@@KitKatBanana I would have used marshmallow fondant on the lime layer because the chocolate would always be too hard to cut into. It could slip, crack, slide, smush the other layers of cake, possibly other things. Then I would have chilled it and then made the pineapple cake, but carved an opening for the lime cake to go into, layered the inside of the opening with something, either another fondant or frosting, chilled it, and then taken both cakes out to put the lime into the pineapple cake, then resealed the cake, chilled it, and then chill in between layers as I sculpted and colored the pineapple cake. Do the same with the watermelon, and done! Especially since there's so much that can be controlled with the sizing, you don't even have to have a huge bunch of leaves on the pineapple, you don't have to have them at all. Another way, is to create the illusion of there being three different fruits stuffed into each other. At which point, you make a cake exterior, oh but wait there's a cross section?!?! Is that just a watermelon rind and flesh? Into pineapple? Into a LIME?!?!?!? And, again, it just looks like there's no cake, but fruits instead.

[@KitKatBanana]

@@LuckasSilver wow that sounds really cool and in-depth, are you a baker/cake-maker?

[@LuckasSilver]

@@KitKatBanana Nothing on this scale and certainly not with any of Natalie's talent. I just bake for myself really, but my grandpa owned a bakery once upon a time (I wasn't around when he did, just grew up with some of his desserts) and I consume a lot of content around baking. So I have "acquired knowledge" with very little personal experience, but I enjoy experimenting and marshmallow fondant is easy to make and experiment with. It's mostly just fun to me to turn on some baking videos while studying, doing chores, and commuting to places, but it also means I have random bits of baking knowledge bouncing around now lol.

[@srshama]

I totally agree. This is 1 cake inside chocolate lol

[@user-kx1vf3eh4h]

I love this idea. Maybe Christmas boxes inside Christmas boxes with a surprise center might work. It would be a lot of work and I’m unsure about the stability but it could be fun. 🤷‍♀️

[@AquaSprite]

There is definitely a way to make this lemon/lime cake work, and i have confidence that you can do it! Although, I have a thought... When I saw the title, my first thought was that maybe you would make two hyperrealistic cakes and put one inside the other. For example, putting a hyperrealistic cake of a stack of books inside a hyperrealistic cake of a cardboard box, or something along those lines.

[@farhajaleel]

Hmm even I thought something like that... Cuz this didn't feel like a cake inside a cake.. it's just a lime disguised as a lemon... Also it's a cake inside a cake, right? Not cake inside a cake, inside a cake.. cuz the bit of cake inside the lime is part of the lime itself... It's not a third cake 🤔 Man, that's a lot of 'cake' in one comment 😂

[@NameUnimportant]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Because a piece of just plain cake inside a chocolate mold of lime inside a chocolate mold of a lemon isn't a cake inside a cake inside a cake. It's just a cake covered in chocolate inside a shell of chocolate. How about a cake just regular circle cake inside a hyper realistic cake of a stack of books inside a hyper realistic cake of a cardboard box.

[@itsnotkaylee]

like in the coconut

[@Kaybaelovelace]

Love watching you make these cakes! you could make a thin clear jello layer to protect the inside cake. My initial thought was to spray a sugar glaze on the lime to seal the food coloring. When it cooled it would be hard. Another thought for a cake would be a seemingly traditional cake but when you cut into it there is this chocolate layer holding the outside cake off the inside cake like a box and inside is an aquarium filled with fish and then actual cake inside that. I feel like you could make sugar glass in the mold of a bowl then fill that with jello for the water and whatever else is inside it. Also, I think if you had tried to spray butter on the lime and the lemon skin it would have been a better lubricant

[@Isis1369]

This was a fun one! I kept thinking you would use corn starch or powdered sugar to keep the lemon from sticking. I wonder if that might help ??

[@wearenoless6732]

The lemon looks fantastic ! I think the reason the modeling chocolate stuck to the “lime” is because you applied extra pressure to it sculpting the texture of lemon . I am in no way qualified to really be sure but that’s what it looked like as the chocolate seemed to be sticking more at the “pores”. Maybe you can try sculpting it over a real lemon and transferring it to the cake?

I'm so glad you shared this. Seeing how trial and error works for others is a learning experience for us all.👍🏻

[@AnnaHiestand]

Since it's the holidays, maybe next time you could make the cakes look like gift boxes. You could make a gift box out of chocolate and place a smaller gift box shaped cake inside of it. 🎁 You could even carve a hollow inside the smaller gift box and put a tiny slice of cake inside it. Then it really would be a cake inside a cake inside a cake!

PLEASE do a Russian nesting doll next!! This lemon lime cake is amazing, and you gave us the need for a nesting doll, too!!

[@darlingkitty6492]

You should make a hyper realistic cake without using any molds! I think that would be a fun challenge

[@elizaeliza5937]

maybe try sealing the limes food color? Like a thin clear glaze or candy coating? That way the food color is not exposed directly to the modeling chocolate? May also help with pealing them apart? This still turned out pretty amazing if you ask me.

[@nusonria]

Yes, yes, yes, try again! Although, I was imaging literal cake inside a cake inside a cake.

Your videos are so amazing you do awesome work I love your cakes

[@adrianafernandez1978]

I really like your hair!! It looks so bouncy and pretty ❤

[@ree.sees.]

This is a great idea, and and something that might work to make the peeling successful is spray olive oil. I know it’s not as appetizing as butter but it is edible. You can buy cans of olive oil to spray (or cooking spray) that might work better to keep them separate! I’m in no way cake qualified but it’s something that might be worth trying!😁

[@Sseraromli]

How would it look like if Natalie replicated Honeycomb? Could it be all made from gelatin?

[@BlocksBuildsMinecraft]

Yes Honeycomb please

[@BlocksBuildsMinecraft]

but not gelatin like a bee hive exposing honey with honeycomb and maybe a bee with it on a tree that would be epic but it will be sooo hard, and will take forever. Are you up for the challange?

[@sarahkwast1250]

A cake, inside a cake, inside a cake. I love the idea! I also love your creative spin on the idea. However I need to offer some constructive criticism. Hopefully in a way that is respectful of your amazing talent, because you are REALLY good at what you do! ❤ You should know, as someone who has been in cake competitions, that this cake doesn't meet the requirements. You made a single cake with two outer layers. In order for this cake to meet the challenge the lemon needs to be a cake. Then the lime is in the center of that cake. The lime is also a cake with a different cake in its center. A cake, within a cake shaped like a lime, within a cake shaped like a lemon. That would also solve the problem of the lemon shape sticking to the lime. Again, I LOVE your creativity and talent! You leave me in awe with how real your cakes look. I know you can make this happen! 😊

[@Joy-qz7hi]

I think if you used chocolate/ fondant for the lime, coated it in powdered sugar and then put on fondant for the lemon it could work! And, if you want an extra challenge, put it inside a grapefruit cake!

[@milahusak9694]

I love her work, but I just wanna point out that it wasn’t a cake inside of cake inside of cake. It was a cake inside of chocolate inside of modelling chocolate.

[@mayra.pag03]

It's a really nice cake, both the lime and the lemon came out great! I really don't know any other way you can pull it off, but if you do get an idea on how to do it, please show us. 😁 I'm here for it!

[@mackenziehuang2319]

Maybe try dipping the lime cake into gelatin so that the thin layer of gelatin protects the food coloring. And then you can put butter or corn starch on top of that to try and keep the modeling from sticking. But the lemon still turned out so realistic!

That was still an amazing attempt =) Both the painting on the lime and the sculpting + painting on the lemon were quite nice. Perhaps instead of peeling it, go for cutting it in half so we get a nice cross-section? (would probably require a layer of white under the yellow, but the green wouldn't need to be sturdy or necessarily painted as much)

You could do a large purse cake that has a flap close then have a make-up bag cake inside with a loose powder tub & puff or mirror compact cake inside. You could even throw in a coin purse with chocolate money in it. Or an Art satchel cake with a large paint set cake that has a lid that can be opened to find the painted-on paint squares and a small drawing book cake inside or other smaller cake art supply. That way it's three actual hyper-realistic cakes, inside each other.

[@starshollow6406]

That lemon looked very realistic! If you try it a second time maybe you should make the outer lemon out of a hard white chocolate instead of soft modeling chocolate. Maybe then it won’t stick to the soft modeling chocolate on the lime! Very cool cake concept Natalie! 😄💕
