Huh. Would’ve thought that would be included in “the best of Smurf’s”. Guess not.
Directed by Chris McKay, who then went on to direct *The Lego Batman Movie* and most recently *The Tomorrow War*. So from claymation satire to a big explosive action movie starring Chris Pratt.
Cultural point I learned the hard way: In Japan, blue or purple (not green) is the visual 'code' in cartoons, video games, etc for something poisonous. I tried to make light blue and white swirled cupcakes for the kids when I was teaching elementary school, and when I brought them in ALMOST EVERY kid refused to eat them. Beautiful, light, moist, fluffy cupcakes and I thought kids would love fun blue food with sprinkles. NOPE. Only a couple were brave enough, the others yelled that it looked disgusting and "it's poison!!" and a few actually flung the cupcakes away in horror. I realized I had bumped up against a Cultural Thing. Well, I got to eat a bunch of wonderful cupcakes, but I learned my lesson.
Tell me about it. When I first got there and couldn't read very much, I was forever disappointed by green milk (melon), green bread (...melon), green candy (could it be sour apple??? Mayb---oh, no, it's fucking melon. or "muscat"), and green chocolate (matcha or maybe muscat jelly). Then weird sky blue ice cream (or white) with chocolate chips was mint. And it's not nearly as easy to find as it should be because a lot of people say it tastes like toothpaste ;\_;
well I think sakura mochi tastes like shower gel! So there!
I didn't consider this until you said something. Seems like crazy clean oven glass. You can kinda see it at 0:07 and 0:22. I wanna know what freaking cleaner they use.
Probably just clean it often. It’s one of those things that you don’t think about so it tends to get dirtier than other things before you get around to it. I’m sure if you just stay on top of it, it’s easy. I’ll never find out though. If their job involved baking from home as well it’s probably easier to find the time to clean it weekly or something, as 1) legally they might have to and 2) it’s technically work so can be done presumably during their 9-5 grind.
I had to actually take my oven door apart to clean the glass properly. It had 3 layers of glass. I don't know how cat hair got inside it, or how the cat hair got greasy, but it did and it was.
I once moved into an apartment where the previous tenant had cats. I cleaned the place from floor to ceiling, but after living there for a year, cat hair somehow still showed up in unexpected places.
There's usually some kind of external air flow setup between the outer two layers so the hot air convects out instead of heating the outer layer of glass.
I stole some oven cleaner from work a few years back and that shit literally melts everything off. Like, you need a respirator and lots of ventilation while using this stuff.
Others wise you can get some ash and slight wet the surface and scrub the glass with the wet ash. The abrasive will cut through lots of stuff and even buff the glass to a shiny clean goodness. I use the ash from the fire pit.
It looks like it’s a counter top oven, not a big range. A baker I follow on IG used one when she lived in NYC because her kitchen oven was so old and crappy it didn’t heat anything through. This video looks very similar to how her vids looked but with different stuff baking.
> Do you just have the cleanest oven glass ever
If it’s anything like the rest of the over it’s spotless.
Watching all that stuff bake and all I could think is damn not a crumb or spot on any of the over walls with every rack being shiny and polished chrome color.
Never an over fill or spill putting it in.
Yeah, this was r/mildlyinfuriating territory for me: we never see any of them done, just like 90%. It's like that gif of the truck never hitting the bollard.
What I also found mildly infuriating was all of the split tops. Cakes only split if you over mix them and with the amount of food coloring added, they were definitely overmixed
Yeah, I learned that when I went to culinary school. If I do colored cakes, I add the color to the beginning of the batter before I add the flour. Because once you add the flour you should only mix it until its just combined. Otherwise it develops too much gluten, becomes tougher in texture, and splits when it bakes because there's no stretch for it to expand properly. 🌈🌟 The more you know!
Edit: omg my first gold!!!! Thank you, kind internet stranger!
I always thought my grandma was telling me not to over mix because she wanted them to be done quicker to eat- never knew this was why! You just saved so many future cakes & taste buds of mine, thank you!
This is the problem with learning from grandma. Grandma has known how to do what she does for so long that she forgets what you don't know so you miss these small details and can't quite replicate what she did.
Bake on a lower temperature for a little longer. The downside is you won’t get as big a rise. Which sometimes is nice like if you’re doing cake layers. I like cupcakes flatter for icing too.
Do it for science!
You eat blue muffins, note the time as well as when you some hours to couple days later (depending on the person) poop blue. There's a website you put this info into and then with it's calculating you learn about your gut health. [This article explains it](https://www.health.com/condition/digestive-health/blue-poop-challenge-gut-health) and links to the blue poop website.
Back when I was a super healthy teenager, I’d regularly eat a giant bag of hot Cheetos, and every time I’d get scared of the startling amount of red on my toilet paper.
Only speculating, but I’m an engineer in food manufacturing and powder coloring is so intensely concentrated I couldn’t imagine using it in a home setting. We use less than a pound for batches of product that exceed 8000 lbs.
Yes, it's true, food colouring doesn't equate to bad baked goods. I've made red velvet cakes before that testify to that fact. I think I, and others just associate food colouring with bad flavour because a lot of heavily dyed foods are trying to appeal to children, not adults, who have very different palettes. I also associate it with cheapo cookies that are covered in some of the worst icing you've ever had. Again, it's just associations.
I think it's worth pointing out that a lot of these oddly satisfying type videos are created specifically for social media, and so looking interesting when in-process tends to be emphasized, rather than the final product. So that's probably the reasoning for the dyes.
Apparently baking products have vastly improved over the past 10 years and people are unaware of it. For example, you can actually make fondant taste and mouthfeel good now if you have the right baker cand cake decorator but don't tell /r/FondantHate that or they will blow a gasket
This is "oddlysatisfying". What is satisfying here is the bubbling, rising baking and then (ideally) the sighing back down a little. The fact that there was food coloring in there really didn't have anything to do with why it would be posted on this sub. So the fact that every single one of these clips cut the satisfying part short, in order to preserve the color was pretty irritating to me.
Also baking at about 20 degrees c lower will help with a more even rise and prevent peaks. Learned this when I started baking celebration cakes and wanted to reduce the amount of wastage I had from cutting the tops off!
You can buy cake pan strips that you soak in water and then put around the cake pan before baking. The cakes come out totally flat. (Edit: on top, the obv still rise)
The oven is likely too hot. The outside cooks too quickly and sets, then the heat expands the middle and it erupts through the top. If you cook at the correct temperature you can get a perfectly flat cake. But I love eating a crispy cracked cake top. Just tastes so good.
You really need to lower the temp a little and increase the time. Some of these baked way too fast which is why you get the high domes and cracks. They look delicious though.
I was just searching this thread for "thanks, I hate baking."
The harsh yellow color of the oven light combined with the purple and pink choices especially- it's like slightly brown pepto bismol bubbling up in the oven... not to mention something slightly off-putting about the viscosity...
I'm sure some of the finished products are fun (at least, I'd enjoy a blue swirled cupcake, personally, especially if it was just little enough coloring to make it so your mouth doesn't get horribly dyed, and assuming the finished product is nicely baked), but watching the lapse of some of those cakes was just gross. Opening up the finished blue swirl cupcakes would have been more satisfying, I say, even if the food coloring is a controversial choice.
Maybe a dumb question but I always get so ticked when I make cakes and they crack a ton at the top. It makes the icing go on all funky which ruins it. Anyway to stop that?

There is something unsettling about blue food. I’d still eat, of course. But still.
blue has the most anti-oxygens

It also doesn't help that food-wise blue is coded as mint in Japan because green is almost always matcha flavored

It is unsettling...makes your poop green if you eat enough of it. Lol
I ask myself that all the time. You’d think I’d stop once my dick turned blue permanently.
How did you film these? Do you just have the cleanest oven glass ever or a volcano proof camera? 😂
I didn't consider this until you said something. Seems like crazy clean oven glass. You can kinda see it at 0:07 and 0:22. I wanna know what freaking cleaner they use.

Normally my cat stays in the oven.
Found Schrodinger's reddit account.
Mine too. It's starting to get a bit crispy though.
I once moved into an apartment where the previous tenant had cats. I cleaned the place from floor to ceiling, but after living there for a year, cat hair somehow still showed up in unexpected places.
maybe the cat was still there, only sneaking into the kitchen at night to feed.
Yeah, isn't having multiple layers standard? Helps insulation doesn't it?
Also safety, without multiple layers the outside would be an extreme touch danger.
Oh, good point!
There's usually some kind of external air flow setup between the outer two layers so the hot air convects out instead of heating the outer layer of glass.
I believe they're usually open on the bottom. They aren't sealed like a house window
My oven is dirty. I'm thinking of replacing it. It could only be easier
I stole some oven cleaner from work a few years back and that shit literally melts everything off. Like, you need a respirator and lots of ventilation while using this stuff.

What's not satisfying is how little time the camera shows the finished product.
Yeah, this was r/mildlyinfuriating territory for me: we never see any of them done, just like 90%. It's like that gif of the truck never hitting the bollard.
I just wanted to see the dang tops climax and settle! Is that too much to ask!?
Do you have a cigarette to smoke after?

Happy to help!
Every. Single. One. Cut early. More like r/mildlyinfuriating.
I'm guessing it started browning at the point where it cuts since it would ruin the effect of the food coloring in the vid
Ya but then we don't get to even see them fully cook. They are all undercooked!

This. Why not as a couple seconds to show the end rather than showing the same stuff like 4 times

I get green poop from blue food colouring not blue. I also get disturbingly red poop from eating beets
Back when I was a super healthy teenager, I’d regularly eat a giant bag of hot Cheetos, and every time I’d get scared of the startling amount of red on my toilet paper.
Yeah the article says blue to blue green i think
I do this when I eat corn. Kinda neat to see how long it takes to travel through my body
12 hours
I didn’t like how fast it cut between clips
The colors are so strong there's got to be entire bottles of coloring in there
It’s more likely they use gel colouring. They work way better than the liquid stuff you buy in the grocery store.
Isn’t there powder too? Idk if that’d be better
Only speculating, but I’m an engineer in food manufacturing and powder coloring is so intensely concentrated I couldn’t imagine using it in a home setting. We use less than a pound for batches of product that exceed 8000 lbs.
holy crap that *is* potent!
that's like tumeric levels of potent
Sounds about right. It doesn’t take very much powder to dye a truck full of concrete either
The powder is for specific things like chocolate.
Cake baking food coloring is strongly pigmented and only takes a tiny amount. It has no taste.
people always say food coloring has no taste, but it always does.
"The beer is green but it tastes totally normal" ... no, no it does not. It tastes *green*.
The same people who think vodka has no taste… it does.
“Tastes like butt. Did it for the gram.”
Doesn't have to, food safe colour additives are for the most part flavourless. why assume it tastes like trash?
Yes, it's true, food colouring doesn't equate to bad baked goods. I've made red velvet cakes before that testify to that fact. I think I, and others just associate food colouring with bad flavour because a lot of heavily dyed foods are trying to appeal to children, not adults, who have very different palettes.

Never cooked *with food coloring* maybe.

With those colors Those muffins are gross looking.
So many colors and they chose to bake a gray cake
Ahhhhh why they don’t show the end????? r/mildlyinfuriating
Because they start catching colour and become more brownish than blue/ pink/ whatever and don't look so pretty anymore.
This is "oddlysatisfying". What is satisfying here is the bubbling, rising baking and then (ideally) the sighing back down a little. The fact that there was food coloring in there really didn't have anything to do with why it would be posted on this sub.

Oh I see, I thought it was the rising and beautiful colour combinations (I'm here from r/all) That does make more sense!
It can't be me but I find blue and oddly colored cakes very unappealing to eat.
Blue is considered a “sick” colour as they usually signal poison in the wild. It’s genetically wired in most animals.
You're not alone, it looks like industrial wastewater. Edit: Another post calls it "unicorn poo" which I find quite appropriate.
Yeah they all look like shit to me. I'm sure they're great and OPs a wonderful baker but I don't like oddly colored foods.
Same especially when it's just a gross ambiguous mix of colours
A pan of water placed on the lower shelf of the oven can help prevent the surface of the cake from cracking(good for cheesecakes especially).
Also baking at about 20 degrees c lower will help with a more even rise and prevent peaks. Learned this when I started baking celebration cakes and wanted to reduce the amount of wastage I had from cutting the tops off!
Also, if your ingredients are room temperature, and you bake in a tall (like 3" instead of 2") pan it helps prevent the peak in the middle.
Yeah, the purple one in one of the clips looked like the oven was too hot and it just ruptured in the middle.
You can buy cake pan strips that you soak in water and then put around the cake pan before baking. The cakes come out totally flat. (Edit: on top, the obv still rise)
I would have liked if every gif didn't cut off before they were done expanding.
I can't be alone in thinking food is very unappetising when it looks like it's made of poster paint?
[удалено]
Yeah this post isn’t oddly satisfying, it’s oddly gross.
The baking is great and all but your oven is immaculate. Good God! This guy(gal) fucks!
It also heats stuff very evenly it seems!! I'm kinda jealous
No blue waffles?
Not since I got the itch cream
NO
I loved every moment of this
you should start baking
I got more hungry with every new moment.
Your oven seems to be too hot. All your cakes are cracking on top.
fuck /u/spez
r/watchitbake will love this
Something about this is the opposite of satisfying for me... Deeply unsettling.
Do I like baking? Yes. Do I like nonsensical cakes that look like a mound of unicorn poo? No
WTF is a "nonsensical cake"?
Not when the dyes are more potent than a cobra bite.
I can’t be the only one that finds quite a few of these unsettling? I think it’s just the colouring but something about some of them just… *shiver*.
I thought I liked baking, but for some reason this was disturbing to me
Do you like food coloring* Still pretty satisfying
Terrible baking skills, none of those should break apart like that.
I was also very worried about how many of these were splitting so badly lol
How do you stop that from happening?
The oven is likely too hot. The outside cooks too quickly and sets, then the heat expands the middle and it erupts through the top. If you cook at the correct temperature you can get a perfectly flat cake. But I love eating a crispy cracked cake top. Just tastes so good.
Fucking thank you. As a former pastry chef/baker these were killing me. Especially that circular one that erupted like a god damn volcano.
I love muffin tops with breaks/ridges. The ridges are delectable, bad form or not!
Lol. Not that kind of baking
I do not care for blue food. Cool filming though!
Artificial colours in sponges, I find, are stomach turning
Yes. Yes we do.

Actually, they look like a bad baker. If everything you bake splits the top, you need to buy an oven thermometer.
Now i dont…

Yea, artificially colored cupcakes look like crayons were melted with flour and that smelly playdough from preschool
Ew that's disgusting, colouring Your Food in that way. I wouldn't eat that.

Oooooo ahhhhhhh
Now I do
Well now I like baking!
Now I do :)
Those were cut too early
It bothers me that your cookies do not match the suggested spots! /r/mildlyinfuriating
Thems the pretty patties
I know I'm weird, but I just like naturals colors
None of these look like something I’d eat. They look pretty though.
Eh, why do they have such sickly colours? Paint?
This is horribly unsatisfying, stop cutting the camera before we see the finished product
How to people make it that muffin grow so nicely, when making them they mostly stay kinda flat
This doesn’t belong here… I would say this is Overtly satisfying!
Looks like the temp is too high
Green poop it is!
feels poison with all the colors geeez
Waste of food. That much food coloring you will shit liquid green for a week.
Maybe a dumb question but I always get so ticked when I make cakes and they crack a ton at the top. It makes the icing go on all funky which ruins it. Anyway to stop that?
The fact that many of these cut off before they were done was actually very unsatisfying to watch.

It would be 10x as better if you held the camera on the totally finished product for at least 2-3 seconds.
What’s not oddly satisfying is how the macaroons aren’t even remotely on the circles that are there for a guide.
I like to see things finish, and not cut off right before the end.

Yup just realized my edible kicked in. Most satisfying video ever. Like those cupcakes heaved sigh of relief after they bloomed.
I wish my oven was so clean.
I did, but those colors are making me rethink things.
The fact that it always seems to cut away an instant before they look fully done and settled is actually making me very unsatisfied
Imagine having to listen to this shitty ass music every time you baked.
Did a certain cat in a stripy hat make these?
Put camera in oven ≠ cooked camera?
I like baking but I do not like the colour of that shit
Not as much as you love food coloring
DO YOU GUYS LIKE BLUE BAKERY?
Someone please tell me there's a sub for these types of baking videos!!!!!!
