The moment you said that there was something wrong about the crescent rolls, I said, “Yeah, it’s the wrong triangle type.” I feel so seen right now; thanks for making a video about this.

[@marcy1232]

Right? I was immediately like I bet I know what she's going to say is wrong. it's the triangles having right angles when they really ought to be isosceles triangles

[@atvictorialynn]

Your videos serve as my internet sanctuary, providing a sense of joy and familiarity akin to catching up with a friend I only get to see once or twice a year. The connection is instant, and it reinforces why the friendship endures.

[@Neo-dt3sn]

I find it interesting that you can view cooking and baking as a science where you must follow the instructions of everything to achieve the perfect result, or as an art form where it doesn't really matter what you do because food can be what we want it to be. P.S. that bread snail was really adorable. I'd actually rather make that than the normal cresents lmao

[@ThetaReactor]

Baking is definitely a bit more scientifically rigid than cooking in general. Puff pastry does not tolerate sloppy work well. Baking is wizard magic, copied precisely and uniformly from one's grimoire. One misspoken word or somatic gesture and the whole thing goes *poof*. Cooking is sorceror magic, a free-wheeling onslaught of one's will onto the ingredients in question. As long as you follow a few broad guidelines, your intuition can get you a good result. Obviously, there's still room for creativity in baking, but it happens around the act of creation, not within it. You can choose the ingredients that go in, and you can shape the output as Vi has so deftly done here, but if you half-ass the actual dough-making parts it crashes the whole thing.

[@Neo-dt3sn]

@ThetaReactor I think you're right about the differences. I really like your analogy to magic lmao. If wizards take recipes from their grimoire, there are still pro wizards that are able to add pages to that grimoire. It's a lot more difficult to make something new in baking, and while I suppose you can always take a recipe and add your own spin to it, it's not the same as inventing something like sponge cake.

[@pastaman68]

​@@ThetaReactor the chocolate guy who makes all the sculptures is the culinary equivalent of the Mickey Mouse Fantasia wizard

[@nonpondo_]

Yeah that's why cake, pastry and chocolate art is so respected, combines the most difficult things about cooking and sculpting

[@BiggestBigBoy]

With cooking you can go nuts, but if you do that in baking, then it'll all end in tears.

[@Ylurple]

I couldn't withhold my laughter when you put in the entire rectangle. I've been tasked with the crescent rolls this year (as I usually do every year) and now I'm wondering if I should make snails instead

[@grapesandsand3816]

absolutely

[@kevskevs]

Do it!

[@ThetaReactor]

Am I really the only one that has smushed the perforations back together and used the whole rectangle of dough as a pizza base? Surely not. It's such an obvious idea that it exists as a commercial product, on the same shelf as the crescent rolls.

[@JeremyGabbard]

@@ThetaReactor They do! (or here, anyway) - you can get pizza dough in the same section. I've never tried it though, so can't speak to its deliciousness.

[@AlRoderick]

Escargroissant

[@AlRoderick]

They do actually sell the dough sheet with no perforations, a lot of magazine and back of can style recipes call for a flat baked sheet of crescent roll dough as a base for something like my aunt's famous veggie pizza which is a sheet of this dough covered with spiced cream cheese and a bunch of chopped carrots, peppers and cauliflower. It's a Thanksgiving banger.

[@bustedkeaton]

I remember 2013 when I came across your videos, Vi! And, life has never been the same!

[@Nepeta-Leijon]

i grew up with your videos. my dad showed me your doodling in math class series when i was in fifth grade and it taught me that math exists outside the classroom, and that its even beautiful when it's allowed to be free. you awoke a passion for mathematics in me and ill be graduating this year with a math minor thanks in part to the love of math i learned from you. thanks for everything! keep being excellent.

[@alexandersweeney6182]

As soon as you started rolling them up I knew what you would be talking about! This has irked me since I was a small child and I’ve completely forgotten about this long-lost memory! Very comforting to see this quirk of croissants talked about

[@falnica]

In mexico we call them "little horns" (cuernitos)

[@Vihart]

It's not shown in the video, but when I baked the very friendly face that had tiny crescent roll eyebrows, the eyebrows both flopped off the forehead in exact symmetry and placement to become little horns. Proof that cuernitos is the more accurate shape description.

[@jojidubi4]

Crescent dough always reminds me of this dessert my dad makes during the holidays. It's basically two unrolled sheets of crescent dough with a layer of sweetened cream cheese in the middle, then topped with extra sugar and cinnamon before baking.

[@Mineman1998]

I feel like your videos perfectly encapculate what I love about mathematics and what most people don't even think is mathematics. Its about the creativity to both mess around with stuff and see what happens, while understanding the natural patterns that exist and how they can be incorperated or rebelled against. Its not about getting any kind of answer but seeing just what happens when you do stuff. Am I reading too much into a video about crescent rolls, yes.

I had to rewind a bunch of times cuz I was really interested in that second batch and how all the shapes turned out. I've wanted to try that for a long time. So thank you.
