THE SEAWEED SOURCE
The blog from which everything seaweed arises
Blooming 3D-jelly cakes made from seaweed sugars.
If you haven’t heard of a blooming 3D cake, make sure you check out the video or link below. These cakes are built upside down into a jelly cake to create beautiful, edible, works of art.
A recent article highlighted Siew Heng Boon of Jelly Alchemy , who makes her cakes from algae-based gelatin rather than sourced from animals, this makes her cakes vegan friendly.
These cakes look amazing and incredibly fun to make. The video below shows how they are made.
