You Spin Me Right Round

When Kimberly C. sent me to Capital Confection's post on some crazy cool cake videos, I knew I had to share them with you guys. Check out the magic these bakers in Malaysia can achieve using nothing more than heavy (frozen?) cream, a spinning turn table, and a few basic tools: 

 (For your sanity's sake, I advise turning the sound off.)

The technique is called "clay art" because of the pottery techniques used. Isn't it amazing?

Here's another one:

My jaw hit the desk when s/he used that plastic bottle to puff air into the ripples. Sooo cool.

These are from the Quenary Academy, which apparently specializes in clay art and really annoying music (keep your sound off - trust me). There are even more videos under a different user name on Youtube, too - although they all appear to feature the same instructor:

If you're like me and could watch these all day, then check out the Quenary Academy's Youtube page, and also user ahntuank19's for lots more.

Also, if any of you have any more information on these techniques (especially on what kind of cream is being used), let me know in the comments!

(Note from john- I just added the second video which features the plastic bottle.  Thanks comment section!)

It definitely reminds me of soft serve ice cream. Which would be delicious. I want to try it.

Thank you for posting these. I was actually looking all over the place for the second video - someone sent it to me over a year ago, and I wanted to watch it to see if I could give it a try. I'm going to make up a batch of super fine butter cream and a stabilized whipped cream and see what I can do. :-) If either work I'll let you know!

I think they use instant cream. In Asia we have that kind of cream, its powder and you just need to add cold water and mix for 5 minutes. And its pretty heavy too, but still very smooth.
