Cubism sweet like raspberries
What at first glance looks like an impressive architectural structure, turns out on closer inspection to be a small, lovingly baked cake made by Ukrainian patissier Dinara Kasko.
The small pieces of art are so elaborate and detailed that they are a real experience for the senses – it's almost a shame to eat them! The unique feature of Kasko's creations: She designs the molds for her cakes using a 3D printer – the inspiration comes from architecture and nature.
The entire process takes time – it takes up to 30 hours and a large number of misprints to achieve an optimal result, because: "A beautiful kitchen, like a beautiful building, requires planning", says Dinara Kasko.
Today, any shape can be achieved using 3D modeling – there are no limits to the imagination.

To achieve a cake creation like this, the prepared dough must be poured into the mold and loosened carefully again after baking. The glaze is applied as thinly and smoothly as possible using a spray gun. To achieve perfect results, Dinara Kasko freezes the cake beforehand and positions it on a plinth for spraying – this results in a complete piece of art that looks like a combination of lots of berries in different sizes. The filling of this berry dream is a taste revelation: a combination of pistachio cake, raspberry mousse with rose extract, raspberry cream and candied blackcurrants and raspberries.
