This week, I took drew one of your suggestions from a hat and turned it into a hyperrealistic cake! This cake was very difficult and there were a few times where I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pull it off. Although it didn't come out perfect, I was able to overcome several challenges and learned a lot along the way 💚

Do a rattlesnake cake!

[@MistyMoon270]

Can you make a cake of a whole plate of sushi? P.s you are my favorite KZbinr ever!!!

[@thaanuvi]

I was reminded of Japanese raindrop cakes that use agar agar, they were really popular a few years ago and they're sometimes transparent

[@maribaka93]

Yeah! I think that would be a good option

[@WellWoopdidoo]

Way less substantial, it doesn’t get the same firm bounce that gelatine gets when you add a more powder to the mix. Adding more agar just makes it crumbly and cloudy. It’d be more likely to collapse under its own weight or the weight of the cake on top of it. They make a kind of crunchy candy with agar that’s been crumbled into pieces and let to dry, but it looks quite powdery on the surface.

[@irishbayan5288]

Are you from the Philippines

[@nikkip.Christ-is-King]

That's smart and technically would make the whole thing cake minus the modeling chocolate and label.

[@Randomly_]

Agar agar is a great idea. But I thought maybe it's too jiggly? But idk maybe agar agar and a little bit of the gelatin!

[@dreamof_me]

I think gelatin that comes in sheets is supposed to be more clear. And they sell flavorings that don’t distort the color too much. I also wonder if another material like agar might turn out well. But this is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen.

[@AvrilSands]

Agreed, agar is used to make water cakes in Japan... they are literally crystal clear like water ! Can be flimsier sure but still more accurate than the yellow good she used.

[@thaanuvi]

​@@AvrilSandsomg yes! I immediately thought of raindrop cakes, they're sometimes super clear and they use agar agar. And it probably tastes better than gelatin too

[@spulwasser]

How about using agar agar? Maybe that one is less yellow

[@JoanieBC]

Whatever they use to do those gorgeous gelatin cakes is the best bet. Such a great idea!

[@potatofairy8535]

The way you did the cake gave me an idea. Why don't you make a hyper realistic cake of candles? One that's new and one that's been melted?

[@zohelet5410]

Candles

[@Jellyfish_Eater-go3ng]

Candles

[@Whatshouldmomdrawtoday]

I really appreciated your inclusion of the entire process. It’s nice to see the trial and error of someone as talented as you! Art is truly a process!! I’d love to see you do a cake or a tattoo machine or even just the sterling sheet with the tattoo supplies (think tattoo gun, ink cups, green soap, etc)

[@yourmamalondon]

You should totally make a stack of books! Or maybe like a small bookshelf? That would make such a cool cake!

[@That_PlantWitch1010]

Yes! Please

[@The-crazy-animal-person]

I love the book idea!!!

[@noonzc-jp4be]

This might just be me but is there anyone else who thinks it would be really cool for Natalie to find a way to make a mirror/reflective cake?

[@MyahnaLynn]

YESS!

[@Samarians_shorts]

Yea Im pretty sure

[@Evie705]

Absolutely!

[@aimeerose624]

oh! Yes she really should that would be soooo cool!

[@Oluwafunmilayo___]

That was what I thought she would do

[@sm-65datlas23]

She finally made this!!! I also requested this cake like a long time ago, so I'm really glad that someone requested it again! It's so cool of you to try new things and show us the process of it even if you're not confident about it. Love lots always!

[@PuggxePlxyzLOVESpugs]

What if you made a cake of a mug, with mug cake inside? But the twist is you have to use mug cake to make the cake!

[@TheArtsyDodger]

Angry Natalie is scary 😂 but she is so persistent and positive, and it’s cool to see this side of her!

[@angievelma-qc6cy]

😂 definitely

[@angievelma-qc6cy]

I think you should make a snow globe

[@Potato-vd5bu]

Yeah

[@KushinA._UzUmakI]

Yea she is but my mom is scarier and my grandma if I don’t finish all the food she makes even if it is a lotttttt of food 😭

[@airea_ameal]

The cake was so good ✨ You could've used Agar-agar powder. It's used in raindrop cakes and is super transparent, just like water!

[@Now_Time_For_Science]

Agar set crystal clear and can be as firm as gelatin. 👍 But tbh, I think it actually looks better with the tint, almost like a flavored water.

[@user-yi4go1ow5f]

When are you going to make a snow globe cake???😊 It would be pretty cool

[@kariwood8874]

I think the coolest cake to see you make would be a cake of your cake sculpting tools, chuck of unused modeling chocolate, food coloring, etc. Making it look like your in the middle of sculpting a cake.

[@alisonlauinger4229]

I love this entire video, in fact i love all you're video's (And shorts, i love basically everything you make) but i especially like how instead of pouring the water down the drain she drank it, thank you for not wasting water 🫶

[@Villain_Have_Feeling]

amazing video with creative ideas to fix the problems you have I really adore you

[@zikrazaaraborahae9890]

Hey Natalie! So my cake idea would be a fruit basket cake. I know that you made MANY fruit cakes, but I would LOVE to see it all together.💜💜

[@DurangiMullegama-yi3bl]

I was thinking of that and was going to ask her to 😊

[@Dinoknight-to5oy]

That would be awesome and maybe she could remake some of her older fruit cakes and put them in a hyper-realistic basket cake

[@hiimcrazyfordrwho]

I think it'd be fun if one of the fruits was secretly real

[@joaomarceloleite508]

Hey, love your work. About the gelatin, I would suggest agar. It’s usually firmer than gelatin and many people use it to make clear desserts. Reverse spherification is also something fairly easy you could do to make droplets or even something like a runny yolk out of anything you like. I think molecular gastronomy in general has a lot of potential on making hyper-realistic cakes

[@ThunderStrike_TheWaterWolf]

I think Natalie should do a series like this! Maybe it could be called “Cake Comments”!

[@pearl593]

The super clear geatine does work; you just have to use distilled water and not stir in a double boiler. You have to be careful not to introduce particles in the water. Its how people make those rain drop cakes. I once used gelatine for a mountain lake cake. And the gelatine came out super clear. Nice job all the same!

[@Firisandra]

Next time you do a clear cake like this, you should try using agar-agar and jelly powder, using a similar technique to Japanese raindrop cakes!!! They're super clear and super cute!!!

[@acemorris6535]

I think the super clear gelatin just has less bubbles. I believe agar agar has less color but I’m not sure how different it is from gelatin texture wise.

[@artsy4ever.970]

Hey Natalie! Love the cake!! I have a suggestion..can you make a realistic aquarium cake with lots of fish? ❤

[@Sketchy_Glitch]

You should make a bearded dragon or a starfish cake, so you could use the same dotting technique you used with the frog!

[@R2debo_]

It looks amazing! You never fail to impress! ❤

[@MoonyxxArt]

Hi verified! Also I agree

[@MettaKirkoff]

It looks so good! Just a suggestion: I think you could use agar agar to achieve the transparent gelatin look!

[@Catinka88]

I like the hyper realistic cakes best if I can also believe that they are delicious. If it's a large percentage of gelatin, molding chocolate or hardened white chocolate to cake it doesn't seem like it would function as a cake anymore. This is very clever, but it's more like a unconventional material challenge, not so much a delicious cake disguised as a water bottle. That's why I loved the peach you recently made! That looked amaaaaazing and seemed like a wonderful little cake as well. :)

[@hello...3995]

I love this you never fail to make a cake 4 us you should make a clock cake 🎉🎉

[@Pytchou]

Hi! I think a moldy/ rotten vegetable or fruit cake would be really fun to see! Also, awesome video like everytime :)

[@KitKatBanana]

This could be great for Husband Dave and Natalie's anniversary

[@CreatorLovesLegos]

Love how you always make cakes that challeng you and make you try new things 😊

[@annedemarie7480]

remember the raindrop cake trend they made their gelatin with agar agar and in the videos it always looked super clear

[@zariyahasan6103]

For back to school, plz make a backpack, and books!💖✨

[@SugarsBffs]

YAY Another cake! Can’t wait to see how this one turns out

[@honeybeeing.]

for the gelatin not being clear, you could’ve completely dyed it and played it off as flavored water and made an edible flavor packet to really seal the deal. regardless, this cake was super impressive! great work!

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

These videso are like music to my soul - so fun and relaxing to watch

[@annierism]

Congrats on 5 million!!!! 🎉🥳🎊🍾

[@mluna1237]

I love your cakes, but a lot of the newer ones feel more like food sculptures than actual cakes with all small cakes made with molds and gelatin. Nothing wrong with awesome hyperrealistic food sculptures, but I sometimes miss the cakes that are large and sculpted. Would love to see you scale up some normal objects into jumbo versions of them for hyperrealistic cakes.

[@christaphillips953]

I would love to see a really big coin or box of matches

[@Zrvr21]

[@ThisSmallGnome]

In movies, they often use sugar to make glass bottles that are meant to be broken. You could use that for the actual bottle with a gelatin filling.

That was so cool! Even with the color being slightly off. Makes me think of light green tea. I’d love to see that bag of grapes in the future though ;)

[@KitKatBanana]

Awesome job!!! I had to check my water bottle today......just to be sure......(sadly, it was not edible.) Do you think you could make a coconut cake, maybe even a half-a coconut cake? I think it would be really cool to see all the insides, fuzzy hairs, and everything else, and I know you could do it!! If you made an awesome-looking hyper-realistic dragon fruit out of plastic spoons, forks, and knives, you can easily do anything!!

[@D_GAM3S]

I also thought a coconut cake is a good idea

[@user-dk6xi1nt2p]

Thank you Natalie and Dave!❤ Today is my birthday but I am so lucky to watch Sideserf cake studio! I get a bite of my birthday cake AND an imaginary bite of one of your cakes! 😊

[@IsabellaKuo-vn8eq]

Hello Sideserf! I loved the video!! If could suggest one cake idea it would be water bottle part 2, but using optical ilusion, like, you use a colorful background and paint the cake as if it was a bottle reflecting the color of the background

[@conniel186]

Great job on a nearly impossible cake idea! You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and ability to roll with the punches. I would like to see you make an alien cake but model the alien after the classic movies "Alien" and "Aliens" with the dripping slime and all!

[@MelanieMartinezs_BiggestFan]

NATALIE OWNS THE DEFINITION OF TALENT

[@user-xu3lk2xl2o]

agreeeeeeeeee❤❤

[@frygamer_18]

Natalie, maybe you can make a video about failed cakes?

[@youngbounty1394]

Idk if this works the same way, but you could try using a tiny bit of blue dye instead of purple. When washing whites by hand, it’s common that using a tiny bit of blue dye whitens the clothes and erases the stains. Don’t ask why. I think it’s some bizarre color theory, but I think using a tiny bit of blue dye would’ve given a clear effect than the purple. Just something for future to experiment for future cakes.
