Can I Turn A Basic Grocery Store Cake Into a Hyperrealistic Cake?

This week, I challenged myself to make a hyperrealistic cake using ONLY every day items. No specialty items, only things I was able to pick up from my local grocery store. Let me know in the comments how you think I did 💚

I love how she opens every merch promotion with “Do you wear clothes? Or know someone who does?” it just kills me every time 😂

I love how she challenges herself all the time and is not afraid to fail, like today she was scared that the sugar might not hold but still did it, and like how last week she remade that lava lamp cake and took her previous experience as a learning opportunity instead of getting discouraged. She always tries to learn new techniques and that is such an amazing quality. Her cakes get better and better every week. Cake idea- a cake of the knife that you use to cut the other cakes

[@amandacockerham6387]

I think it is perfectly fine to use something that most people will have in their kitchens as a tool for this sort of contest. A knife/fork/spoon is something most normal people have in their house.

[@appelofdoom8211]

She used a table, freezer and microwave to. So yeah I feel like everyday kitchen utensils and utilities are fair game (since i'm not expecting het to go to an ikea just to get a table for this one video)

[@ismellupdog]

Exactly, the same way cooking challenge shows allow stuff like salt and cooking oil. It doesn't affect the challenge, just makes things easier on the logistics/organization end :]

[@zombies.in.space.]

exactly, it’s not like she got out carving tools or clay tools, it was just a butter knife

[@4amproblems]

She also used her hands (hopefully not found in grocery stores)

[@sadmac356]

Yeah, my thoughts are "everyday kitchen items and stuff you can find at the grocery store"

[@olgs37]

Just wanted to let you know that my husband calls your signature green buttercream "Sideserf Green" - and as a result, we've all taken to calling that color Sideserf green! My kids even spread it to their school by calling something Sideserf green and ended up explaining why to a confused audience so now you have a bunch more younger viewers! Green is my absolute favorite color (crocheting a green blanket right now, in fact - I just prefer darker greens), so I love that you use that in all your goodies!

This cake seems like it would be too sweet to actually eat, but the creative solutions are super impressive! it turned out super realistic!

[@SpiriitsRoblox]

I don't believe that things that can be "too sweet" but it is cool!

[@awkwardotter13]

That strawberry cake from Walmart on its own actually isn't super sweet! But the brown sugar would definitely make it too sweet

[@ahhh4117]

@Spewky It looks like kinetic sand tho!

[@yeemawheaver1387]

​@Spewky the brown sugar looks a lot like sand to me. I've never seen two toned sand and sand usually is shiny.

[@yeemawheaver1387]

@𝓥 🎀 maybe I'm just thinking of sandbox sand. I've been to the beach once when i was a kid so i can't tell you about natural sand. Sand in a sandbox looks like brown sugar though.

[@carolynbennett1867]

You def should be allowed to use everyday items. Things that are in everyone's kitchen is definitely allowed. I'd love to see how you do this same cake but using all the items you want to use.

I have a tip! If you intend to do another "sand" cake in the future, instead of brown sugar, try using cookie crumbs, it looks almost the same and its more consistant

[@hopstew7756]

My brothers and I cheered when the cake sandcastles stood tall! Proud of you Natalie!

[@niccalee]

I think something awesome about this one is it looks like something pretty replicable (compared to your /other/ mind-blowing cakes) and would be cute for a kids birthday party.

[@valvihk3649]

Yes, take a bite of all that sugar.

I would love to see you create a musical instrument. Instruments have so many details and lots of curves and details that could be sculpted and painted. I would also be curious to see how you make it appear hollow as most instruments are.

Awesome! And the cakes from the yellow and green mold are even more hyper realistic than the one from the red mold, because it's very common that little pieces of the corners/edges break off. Just like they did here!

[@HannahElizabeth0927]

Ahhh!!! Thanks so much Nattily! I’ve always wanted to try to do something like this. I do lots of different kinds of art and I’m very excited to try this out myself :D

[@cogsandglimmers]

This is such a fun concept! Maybe not the best for eating, but it's great to have something that your everyday audience can make. I also love the bits of castle that didn't end up perfect. Because let's be honest; unless you're really good at building sandcastles, not every bucket is going to get crisp edges. You'll have some crumbly bits. And that's exactly how some of these ended up! I know Walmart also sells craft shells, so that could also be a fun thing to add in! For anyone who would want to recreate this

This turned out GREAT! Also, a nice tutorial for those inclined to make a sand castle cake 😊

[@Dhamphiric_Dragon]

Actually, I think the ones with the imperfections make the cakes look more realistic than if all of them came out clean, because realistically you won’t get a clean release of sand everytime while making a sand castle even if you pack it in right

[@-ASTRAL.GREMLINS-]

I think the little edges on the sand castles make it look more realistic cuz when you make a sand castle at the beach some sand gets stuck in the molds

[@FelicianoCookie]

I love how you repurposed those Walmart cakes, I work for our local one and have always been rather curious to see exactly what was inside of the 5" cakes (because I can't have gluten). You never cease to amaze me with your creativity ❤

I just want to add that I have never seen a sandcastle (not made by professional sand sculptures) that has little nooks and crannies to be in all one piece that isn’t falling apart. The fact that they stood so well in the end makes me jealous of your actual sandcastle making ability.

[@KittyMew113]

butterknives feel fair for the challenge, if this is to show you don't need special items to make a hyperrealistic cake and that its more obtainable of an art for everyday people a butterknife fits that perfectly. same with mixing bowls or anything, the average person definitely has some bowls at their house lol

[@Just_One_Tree]

Love this challenge and would like to see you do more! Using your own tableware (utensils) is totally fine, it’s pointless to buy a knife when you already have enough at home. Anyone able to buy the stuff to replicate this will have utensils or could get some

[@whatwilliwatch3405]

I feel like the butter knife was a legitimate "cheat." As you said, pretty much everyone owns a butter knife. Besides, if you got too literal, you couldn't have used your table, because I'm guessing you didn't buy that at the store that day. I think you stayed true to the spirit of the challenge. I'm actually not too surprised the brown sugar held its shape. It's a very "packable" substance because of the molasses base, which gives it an inherent moisture and viscosity. And even in the spots where pieces of it sort of crumbled off, I think that just added to the realism - there's always a few places in real sand castles where the sand didn't pack quite right. This was fun to watch, and it turned out fantastic 😁
