Can we get a cute/elegant food a thread going? Just things that look fucking pretty in adorable serving sizes. Haven't seen one in a while
Intermittently dumping what I have
Sushi is always relevant.

How is that cute/elegant? It looks like severed eyeballs for a Halloween party beverage station.

Candied Rose Petals
>1 egg white
>1 cup of sugar
>Petals from 2-3 roses
Begin by slightly beating one egg white in a small bowl and sprinkling a layer of sugar on a small plate.Next, dip the rose petals first in egg white and then in sugar so they are coated on both sides.Dry these confections on a rack. Store the candied petalss on wax paper, each layer separated by a paper towel or piece of cheesecloth.Use the candied petals as accents on candy trays, as a garnish for fruit cups, or decoration on cakes and pies - or adorn a serving platter with them for an elegant tea party!
You can use meringue powder or syrup if you're worried about raw egg whites (wven though sugar cooks them). Careful not to use roses with pesticides.

I imagine those would go great on creme brulee
I'll see if I can find some cute things from my gourmet event photographer gigs.
I can't even remeber what this was. Some sort of caramel probably.

>>6471389
Strawberry roll
Mini Kaiser sandwiches
>>6471383
This one was interesting, fun as hell.
Heavy as fuck chocolate mousse topped with charred malt and crumbled vanilla meringue.
Served in an ashtray and with one of those tacky chocolate cigars. Probably most interesting dinner I've attended, entire theme was drugs. Guests were handed a syringe to inject their main course with truffle oil, among other weird things.
>>6471375
Damn, that's amazing.
>>6471384
How about some Neko marshmallows for your coffee instead?
>>6471415
Wow, that's bizarre
>>6471389
Not a lot of input, only if I do photos during menu development/tasting. They usually just plate a couple dishes for the staff and I grab one for photos. But often times the chef will make mine a bit prettier than what's served.
Anyway I think that's about it, can't find any more photos worth posting.
Savory tea sandwiches

Those were fucking kawaii as hell
Kinda wish they would layer some audio over the video though

We've gone over this one a few times on /ck/, they failed because the shape just doesn't cook properly and the ratios weren't balanced. Being cute means nothing if it doesn't taste good.

fondant cakes are overrated.
>>6471940
I don't like fondant either, I just thought it looked nice.
>>6471945
this image is so cozy
>>6471940
Is there a way to make fondant actually tasty or is it just going to be shit due to how it's made regardless?
>>6471958
Some fondant isn't bad, usually ones with a sour element like lemon or raspberry and they can't be with super sweet cake, but not really no.
everyone step the fuck back
as a chi/ck/ , this thread makes me happy. Keep it up please.
>>6471980
yes
does rosewater count as "food"? either way its pretty aesthetic

i guess glaze? some of them are just icing and the berry one is a jam of sorts. just made with thicker pectin and whatnot.
>>6472059
i always want to make that but idk how..

that's because raspberries are played-out pleb fruits

>>6472069
Probably some faggot pescetarian
>>6472067
I don't have an exact recipe because I'm on my phone, but I know you can make it by using pureed berries/other fruits sugar and pectin. It's like a 'jelly' of sorts but not so much one you use on breads.
>>6472077
It was called glaze. You were right!
>>6472070
>raspberries

Played out, like your moms busted ass pussy that I destroyed last night?

less bitching, more dumping.
>>6472081
You can do a glaze with jelly or with gelatin.
Hope the pictures came out alright, anon
>>6472122
Good luck with your cheesecakes

>>6472134
What an impractical food. You can't pick it up without making a mess of your hands, you have to pound whatever's in it before the cup melts, you can't put anything remotely warm in there. That middle one is already starting to fall apart, so it doesn't even make for a good picture.

These are extremely easy to make, if you can make roll cakes. Just reserve a bit of batter, add food coloring, pipe onto pan-liner, freeze for 10 minutes, pour remaining batter on and bake as normal. Some recipes say to bake first, but if you freeze instead it allows the batter to sink in a bit better.
>>6472179
I don't think it's meant to be eaten with bare hands.

Are they supposed to look like tits?
>>6472196
Then they should have left off the handle, which is ugly and kind of detracts from the whole thing; it kind of looks like the handle was added as an afterthought with the leftover chocolate.
>>6472260
Ok but it doesn't all fit with the thread, so excuse the slight off topic.
First of all the event was set in a church, guests were dining at a longtable right in the middle of it all, with big ass cross, chandeliers and organ and so forth.
>>6472325
There were two chefs, one that presented the food, another that presented the assortment of drugs to accompany the dishes - the second chef spent most of his youth in some pretty messed up places, did a lot of shit, so he put on some streetwear and fit right in to the role.
>>6472335
The first dish was seafood (I think it was monkfish cheeks). It was plated on mirror dishes, and the "pusher" would then deal out tiny bags of white powder that the guests were to empty on the fish.
If I recall correctly it was a yogurt powder of sorts.
>>6471229
I wanna order these at a place and just pick two up in my hands and squish them, then eat them off the plate
>>6472350
Too late now anon! But don't worry it's only a couple of posts.
>>6472369
Second dish was shaved sorbet served with green tea. Looked like meth but photos are boring, next dish were just some sliders with pulled brisket and one with salmon mousse.
Main course was "drug raped pork" - best meat I've ever had (duroc pork). This is where guests were given syringes with truffle oil.
>>6472385
First dessert was pistacchio icecream. guests were then given a rolled up joint filled with chopped nots, herbs and chocolate that they could empty on the cup of icecream.
Another dessert were some profiteroles served over a blueberry jam and chocolate and whatnot, and then the last dessert was that ashtray thing.
>>6472408
Also the dishes were presented like this lel.
>>6472401
Why fuck off, they should have just fucking made their own thread.
>>6471891
hey ive seen those!
pic related, but they're filled with red bean paste
i always get a couple when i go there for dimsum
>>6471383

>>6472424

>>6472424
do you like them because your fat and ugly like a pig?
>>6471928
Imagining having the job to do just that all day. Simple as fuck. There's probably a whole culture built around that one thing. lol
>>6472433
makes sense
>>6472042
You bite the head off
This one always makes me smile when I see pics of it.
>>6472046
I don't know if this was even intended to be eaten. It was a wedding shoot by Tim Walker for Vogue Italia. This one looks like real flowers and foliage in jelly, while the other one might have been colouring injected into slits.
>>6472640
Well, you can eat roses so the first one for sure. Second one looks like roses, violets and mint, all of which are edible so I assume they can be eaten.
>>6471958
Marshmellow fondant is pretty good!
>>6472218
The japs sure know how to plate
>>6472189
Thanks for the tip! For a while now I've been wanting to make the strawberry one. I figured the coloring and piping but then I imagine I would have poured the remaining batter without hesitation, which would have ruined every thing and resulted in a huge disappointment.
Nice image dump btw

It's amazing for how real they can make it appear! Looks to be completely edible though:
https://youtu.be/JdP0RuCVKdA
I imagine you can make some interesting flavor combos. You could flavor all the gelatin(or agar-agar) differently. There's a lot of potential for this.
>>6473286
Good looks, anon
>>6473983
Is the whiteness Photoshopped?
>>6472057
Looks like plain old gelatin, pretty common to mix up some simple sugar jelly to glaze cakes and pastries with.
>>6472440
Its artificiallity and need for perfection would probably drive anyone nuts tho
>>6471947
I think we should make a cosy thread next, though it's turning spring in the north so the inspiration may be low

Do these turn purple because of the lavender? I always see lavender lemonade tinted purple or pink but they never mention food colouring in the recipe.
