I just skip straight to the end of these 1-minute food-sculpture clips and then roll my eyes at the result.

That.. that's not pastry.

Choclateers would be my favourite people if I knew any!

Pastry? All I saw was chocolate.

It'll sit as a centrepiece for some bullshit corporate event first.

Where's the pastry?

I made this from a pallet.

Nice Art, but what a waste of resources.

Pastry?

So.. Are you supposed to eat it?

No you're supposed to be impressed and buy his book.

Who thought he was about to MIG weld chocolate?
quisutdeus
These hit a little different when you remember that pretty much all chocolate is produced through slave labor.
PangolinBan
The mass-produced stuff (Hershey, Nestlé, whatever), sure. The artisanal chocolate master chocolatiers use? Not really.
You think they're getting their chocolate from different primary sources?
They either have their own or use high quality chocolate from select producers like Valrhona, who operate their own in turn. And fair 1/3
2/3 trade chocolate is on the rise (e.g. https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/fair-trade-chocolate) too. It's really the mass producers who
3/3 have to keep their prices low to keep their volumes high who cut corners with ethics.

Ain't no pastry in that creation.
circlebreaker
Likely nothing edible either.
Shadowspawn1115
It's all edible. There's just a difference between edible and tastes good.
Fair, I guess. Babybel cheese wax is also "edible", as is paper, egg shells, blended hemp rope...
FrogDNA
True, but this particular chef focuses on the taste being good as well. Has a show on Netflix.
FritoParadise
A lot of confectionery work though. Just keep it out of direct sunlight... talking from experience
robdielemans
Agreed. It's sculpting with a wide variety of edible mediums. Apart from tempering not a lot of pastry skills are used for the end-product.
RoquetoBT
Yup. And even then, you can make loads of different pastries and never learn to temper. But you can't make chocolate art without it.
SleeperSix
In a world where anything can be made of chocolate, he is the master of illusion
thefuzziestofbutts
He has a Netflix show called school of chocolate. Definitely worth watching to see some crazy good chocolate sculptures!
BuBBaJoes
Every one of his posts are in a le ture hall type environment. I was wondering if he wast a teacher.
itsmejetzt
I also liked that he is really kind
tangybreath
He is genuinely a patient and good teacher. It is extremely refreshing to see him give advice to the students
rdmage11
I'll second this, it was my favorite part about the show.
PandAnomoly
Yes! A competition where the "loser" of the challenges gets MORE help!
Yes, and nobody goes home, so they all get to finish the course.
Honestly it's was just a wonderful display of progression
snagglecat
And he's a great coach and teacher. I really liked the show.

I went to culinary school with one of the competitors! It was really cool seeing my school represented like that

They need to bring back Curious Creations of Christine McConnell. One of very few cooking shows that had a great weirdness mixed with comedy
peanutbutterandham
It was awesome! So campy and odd. Loved it.

I forgot that show existed. I remember it being enjoyable and weird.

I'm going to need the sauce for this kind sir. I knew it once but have since forgotten it. I know they had to bite into random things.

I can make chocolate logs too, not white ones though.
therighteouspath
It aint delicious
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
Couverture chocolate. Tastes really good.
Bukulu
He ate some of it though
Cause its edible. Doesnt mean it tasted good
Couveture chocolate, had to use this stuff before in baking class to make chocolate molds. Tastes really good, very sweet.
It’s couverture chocolate. Tastes fantastic.
SalmonTheWise
What's the white stuff he made the bird out of, fondant? Because that would not be so good.
LetumComplexo
Eh, the marshmallow fondant is relatively tasty.
tehranosaurusrex
No the fuck it's not
ButtTrumpett
Most times, probably right. This guy is a world famous chocolate chef (idk the fucking word), who takes pride in its taste. Show on Netflix
Mexrose75
Based on his show, it would seem that taste definitely is part of his creation process
Darkspire
Chocolatier?
Converter chocolate, it actually tastes REALLY good.

That's what people have posted - that if you work with him, your stuff has to look good AND taste good.
Well see, now im more impressed
baronnapalm
His show was good. Instead of eliminating the "loser" they got private lessons to try again at the next competition piece.
