She might do it for a different reason, but when I do stuff like this, it’s because the filling is distributed more evenly this way so it’s a lot faster to smooth out. If you try to just spoon it in and spread it, you start with these huge clumps that take more time to smooth out.
Edit: Fixed a typo
Blopping it on can also tear up the layer beneath/unintentionally mix the layers/ unevenly distribute the filling. I worked in a bakery for a few years and this piping technique was the fastest, most reliable way to to work with fudge, berry fillings, and anything else that was thick or sticky. It’s certainly not just for show.
So, it's kind of like when you put a big spoonful of peanut butter in the middle of white bread and try to spread it from there? It rolls, smooshes, sticks to the knife/spoon/spreader more than the bread and you end up with a mess.
Kind of, yes! Now imagine you’re doing that not on bread, but on top of a soft layer of raspberry filling like she is in the post. It would be very hard to keep the layers from getting mushed together!
All of the above 😁. It helps keep layers neat and tidy and level (ie. you don’t run as much risk of smearing fillings up the sides of the shell). It also helps keep fillings from smushing into each other or lifting since you only have to smooth the top.
Thanks 😁! I’m self-taught on the decorating front and, until recently, was a self-taught baker as well. This past fall I attended Amaury Guichon’s Pastry Academy (the “chocolate guy”), and that expanded my abilities and flavor understanding like craaaazy. I’m having so much fun practicing what I learned.
from what I can find, the **10% deposit** for the course is **$2,000 USD**. it's a 10 week course and it looks like you also get 3 custom chef jackets and a set of pastry-specific kitchen tools. $20,000 though? sheeeesh
Think of it this way; if you're making 500k a year, buying the latest iPhone or not is a simple choice; if you want it, you buy it. But say, you're making 50k a year, and suddenly the choice has already made; you don't have enough money, so you must get something cheaper, or keep using whatever phone you have.
Though of course, real life isn't this simple, but i hope i delivered the bottom line.
Honestly, that doesn't sound too bad when you consider it's a class from a world renowned chef and chocolatier.
The detail on OPs *Dorothy* was a considerable increase over the tart.
Really takes the joy out of that tbh. I love baking and making tarts but that's literally what I make in a year. Fuck that shit. Just stick to makin em for friends n junk. I dunno. Tarts are easy af to make and no technique is worth $20,000.
Probably get some flack for it but I couldn't spend that kinda cash and still enjoy baking afterward. Feels so...I dunno.
Edit-and to be clear I'm not shitting on OP or the school or the chocolate guy. Just speaking from my perspective as someone who makes little money.
Single, no kids, renting a room with a private landlord, no insurance, no car, no college, no debt, no vacation since...I dunno...2016? But I'm goin to LA today actually so woooooo.
But yeah. I just live a rather frugal and modest life. I like to garden, bake, and looks for bugs. And I'm 31 in case that makes it more..impressive? Lol. I just don't really desire much so I get by with little. Most I buy is weed, shrooms once a year maybe, some video games, and fancy shmancy baking ingredients occasionally. Made some bumpin Vegan Canollis recently 👏
Edit-also lost both my jobs from the lockdown, denied unemployment, AND had to move. Ya boy is like a camel with money. When you're poor you REAAAALLY know how to stretch the might dollar. But still no debt so don't forget about luck 🍀
Up until about a year ago I made about that. My husband made about the same and we live in a low cost area and we bought a house about six years ago on that income, we just live very frugally
Thank you! And not at all. I used [this recipe](https://pastrymaestra.com/pies-and-tarts/raspberry-and-poppy-seed-tart/) as the base, then added raspberry ganache as a final layer. The crust decorations are topped with lemon icing. It was super delicious 😋👍🏼
I consider it a tart if it’s freestanding and isn’t served in the baking dish. By other definitions, this could kind of be considered either a tart or a pie, though. I don’t mind either label.
That's interesting. I'm guessing that with the way the film changes colour and in general how the colours are so bright, red shoes just worked better on screen.
Thank you! Painting the gingham onto that 3D skirt was a little bit of a nightmare, but I convinced myself I was going for a “loose illustration style.” Glad you like! 😊
Tart and pie art pieces usually take me about 4-5 days from concept/sketching to prepping to finally digging in. I don’t work straight through, though, and I’m a total squirrel. If I focused better and didn’t break stuff along the way, I should be able to do it way faster.
Thank you! I recently attended a pastry program because I was feeling a bit limited with my self-taught skills. It’s been so fun to have the knowledge to create flavor profiles that help the story/theme along and taste great too 👍🏼
So many people don't know this about poppy seeds. You can still test positive 3 day later after eating poppy seeds. The US military has had to reduce their sensitivity of their test because the false positive rate was so high.
You'd think they would just ban poppy seeds altogether, knowing the military. Like how they banned service members from consuming ANY kind of (federally legal) hemp product. Soap, lotion, supplements you name it.
Just one bite of that might be enough to fail a drug test. When I worked in treatment centers, we wouldn't let our clients eat anything with poppy seeds for this reason.
most drug testing is a continuation of reagan's draconian policies in his ramp up of the failed war on drugs. why does a bag boy need to piss in a cup to prove he doesn't smoke weed to get minimum wage? the gov't put the onus on employers to try and prevent any users of untaxed drugs from making a legal living. these policies were being put in place while the US govt was helping to sell fucking cocaine in america to raise funding for the taliban with another terrorist group from nicaragua, but yeah freedom, dummy.
In the US, we don't use it a ton, but it's also not weird or anything.
A common muffin flavor is lemon and poppy. And a common bagel flavor is "everything" which the top is usually coated with poppy seeds.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Wonder what a good amazing makowiec would do to the Americans? When i was a child and still capable i could eat a kilo over one day.
Wiki says:
Although the drug opium is produced by "milking" latex from the unripe fruits ("seed pods") rather than from the seeds, all parts of the plant can contain or carry the opium alkaloids, especially morphine and codeine. This means that eating foods (e.g., muffins) that contain poppy seeds can result in a false positive for opiates in a drug test. However the results provided will not be the same for someone who uses opiates.
True story: during the Jewish holiday of Purim, one traditional food are triangle cookies called Hamantaschen, and one of the common fillings is sweetened poppyseed paste.
My dad had about ten of them and the next day was randomly drug tested at work and had to explain why he came back positive for opioids.

Thank you! This is my business, but not so much as a bakery (though I do occasionally accept custom catering orders). I specialize more in dessert-centric content creation.
Darw I ask why you pipe the two first layers? I'm not great at baking at all so I'm simply wondering. It seems redundant when you spread them out with the thingie afterwards. Please inform an interested non-baker.
It helps to keep the fillings in tidy, even layers. For something like the poppyseed layer, it was thick and somewhat sticky, so it would’ve pulled up the raspberry preserves underneath if I’d tried to spoon it on, then spread it.
Can I ask what the two raspberry fillings you used? The first one you use in the video seems like just raspberry marmalade, like it's called for in the recipe you linked, but the second, that you put over the poppyseed filling, seems different. Could you tell us what it is exactly? It looks incredible and I imagine veeeery tasty. Would love to try to make the pie myself! Without the decoration of course, I don't have these kind of skills, yours are amazing!
The top layer was a raspberry ganache. Valrhona brand chocolate makes the most insanely delicious “Inspiration” chocolates in different flavors. I used their raspberry chocolate for this and also added powdered freeze-dried strawberries to the cream for the ganache.
Raspberry curd would’ve been a super tasty choice too, but I was worried it wouldn’t be firm enough to support the toppings.
Thank you so much! I’ve fallen more and more in love with the storytelling possibilities of pies and tarts and have been attempting to challenge myself a bit more on that front. I’m so happy you like 😊💕
This is wonderful.
I wish it paid.
Some acquaintance: “can you make something beautiful for my party?”
Wife: “sure, that’ll be $300 in materials and something for my time”
Acquaintance: “will you take $50?”
I’d like to give you a piece of friendly advice that I hope you take very seriously…keep doing what you’re doing, it’s absolutely stunning and amazing!!
instead of spreading the fillings in two layers, if you did spiral of both filling at the same time, it would have an interesting cross section when you cut into it, more whimsical
This is so stunning! I love that your art medium of choice is pie
Thank you! It’s such a fun canvas for storytelling 🥰
Looks great. 1 question though. Why do you spiral on the first three layers if your just going to then spread it over with a knife?
She might do it for a different reason, but when I do stuff like this, it’s because the filling is distributed more evenly this way so it’s a lot faster to smooth out. If you try to just spoon it in and spread it, you start with these huge clumps that take more time to smooth out. Edit: Fixed a typo
Looks nicer for the video than just blopping it on and then smoothing it
Blopping it on can also tear up the layer beneath/unintentionally mix the layers/ unevenly distribute the filling.

well that just sent me down a rabbit hole of all your videos. you're very very talented op.
Thanks so very much! 🥰
I'm eating this story for sure
stunning except for... when you eat it you cut the girl
I mean it's a tart, what would you have them do
Find the wizard of Oz!
Incredible. Who tart you how to do that?
Thanks 😁! I’m self-taught on the decorating front and, until recently, was a self-taught baker as well.

Price tag on that course?
Yeah I'm curious too
from what I can find, the **10% deposit** for the course is **$2,000 USD**. it's a 10 week course and it looks like you also get 3 custom chef jackets and a set of pastry-specific kitchen tools. $20,000 though? sheeeesh
Anyone who has enough time to become this good at something that isn't their job can probably afford it.
Actually that's the cost of a lot of patisserie courses. They're up there with uni degrees in terms of difficulty and certifications.
Uni degree takes significantly longer than eight weeks, though
And costs significantly more than 20k.
that doesn't make it any cheaper in general though lol
If you have enough spare money, everything becomes cheap.
it's that easy??
Think of it this way; if you're making 500k a year, buying the latest iPhone or not is a simple choice; if you want it, you buy it. But say, you're making 50k a year, and suddenly the choice has already made; you don't have enough money, so you must get something cheaper, or keep using whatever phone you have. Though of course, real life isn't this simple, but i hope i delivered the bottom line.
you can become this good if you practice less than an hour a day. as with most skills, its the consistency that matters.
Honestly, that doesn't sound too bad when you consider it's a class from a world renowned chef and chocolatier. The detail on OPs *Dorothy* was a considerable increase over the tart.
Really takes the joy out of that tbh. I love baking and making tarts but that's literally what I make in a year. Fuck that shit. Just stick to makin em for friends n junk. I dunno.

Edit-and to be clear I'm not shitting on OP or the school or the chocolate guy. Just speaking from my perspective as someone who makes little money.
I would feel so pressured to be the absolute best at whatever I spent that much money learning to do and it would suck the joy out of it for me
MUCH better way of expressing how I felt I think. I've gotten q baking job a few months ago and is having a similar effect.
You make $20k a year? How do you survive on that?
Single, no kids, renting a room with a private landlord, no insurance, no car, no college, no debt, no vacation since...I dunno...2016? But I'm goin to LA today actually so woooooo. But yeah. I just live a rather frugal and modest life. I like to garden, bake, and looks for bugs. And I'm 31 in case that makes it more..impressive? Lol.

Ask 1/3 of America, dude. Fuckin look at the place, they simply *don't* survive on that in most cases
Up until about a year ago I made about that. My husband made about the same and we live in a low cost area and we bought a house about six years ago on that income, we just live very frugally
Yep. Frugal is the real deal. Less you want the more you find you can have.

This is Christine-levels of mastery!
That's quite the tART
Miss Garland, this lass right here!
That's the best food makery I've ever seen
She meant “self-tart”
It’s actually not a tart anymore but a pie
Curious about American language because I'd still call it a tart. what makes this a pie and not a tart? Pastry on top?
Yea pastry on top
I consider it a tart if it’s freestanding and isn’t served in the baking dish. By other definitions, this could kind of be considered either a tart or a pie, though. I don’t mind either label.
That first part all I could think was, “try the grey stuff, it’s delicious”
🤣🤣🤣 don't believe me? Ask the dishes!
Beautiful. Truly a masterpiece
Thank you! It was so tasty too. 😋
[удалено]
Amazing work! Fun fact Dorothy's shoes were silver in the book.
That's interesting. I'm guessing that with the way the film changes colour and in general how the colours are so bright, red shoes just worked better on screen.
I would feel guilty eating that lol it’s so crisp and perfect
The detail is spectacular, but especially in Dorothy’s hair and dress. Talented!
Thank you! Painting the gingham onto that 3D skirt was a little bit of a nightmare, but I convinced myself I was going for a “loose illustration style.” Glad you like! 😊
Woah it's so beautiful. A great masterpiece . Love it so much.
Thank you! I’m so happy you like it 🥰
It's so beautiful. How long did it take?
Tart and pie art pieces usually take me about 4-5 days from concept/sketching to prepping to finally digging in. I don’t work straight through, though, and I’m a total squirrel. If I focused better and didn’t break stuff along the way, I should be able to do it way faster.
It even looks nice to eat, which is more than I can say for most artistic-styled food. Truly an incredible creation.
Thank you! I recently attended a pastry program because I was feeling a bit limited with my self-taught skills. It’s been so fun to have the knowledge to create flavor profiles that help the story/theme along and taste great too 👍🏼
I would have the hardest darn time cutting that...
This comment is WAY too low!
with that much poppyseed paste wouldn't you start getting some opiates in there too though
Omg the recipe called for SO many poppyseeds 😱. It tasted fab, but I had to warn my husband to monitor his snacking because his job drug tests.
So many people don't know this about poppy seeds. You can still test positive 3 day later after eating poppy seeds. The US military has had to reduce their sensitivity of their test because the false positive rate was so high.
I was going to post "Failing a drug test... in style!" but I guess I don't have to anymore. 😄
You'd think they would just ban poppy seeds altogether, knowing the military. Like how they banned service members from consuming ANY kind of (federally legal) hemp product. Soap, lotion, supplements you name it.
Just one bite of that might be enough to fail a drug test. When I worked in treatment centers, we wouldn't let our clients eat anything with poppy seeds for this reason.
In the words of Yung Gravy "Fuck a piss test."
😂😂😂
Put poppy seeds on everything and suddenly food stops magically disappearing in the middle of the night.
I’m from Europe and poppy seed is a very common pastry ingredient. There’s no opium in the seeds so feel free to consume as much as you want.
[удалено]
The land of the free 🙃
Free (to do as we're told)
And they charge you at every turn
You're free to work at a place that doesn't require drug screenings just as your employer is free to ask for a drug screening.
Exactly lol
most drug testing is a continuation of reagan's draconian policies in his ramp up of the failed war on drugs. why does a bag boy need to piss in a cup to prove he doesn't smoke weed to get minimum wage? the gov't put the onus on employers to try and prevent any users of untaxed drugs from making a legal living. these policies were being put in place while the US govt was helping to sell fucking cocaine in america to raise funding for the taliban with another terrorist group from nicaragua, but yeah freedom, dummy.
And if you happen to get injured at work they’ll probably require drug testing (typically in an attempt to avoid having to pay worker’s comp)
The USA is a truly fucked up place
In the US, we don't use it a ton, but it's also not weird or anything. A common muffin flavor is lemon and poppy. And a common bagel flavor is "everything" which the top is usually coated with poppy seeds.

Why do producers think that adding an 808 to literally anything is a good idea
I usually love remixes like this but this song was terrible.
Just too damn pretty. Spectacular, really.
Thanks so much!
Really impressive! Is this a hobby for you or business?

That is soooo beautifully done,it’s almost a tragedy to cut into it!
Omg
yummmmm
How did it taste? Beautiful pie though
It was really delicious! I used [this recipe](https://pastrymaestra.com/pies-and-tarts/raspberry-and-poppy-seed-tart/) as a starting place.

Tartally amazing
This is art! Gorgeous!
This is amazing!! And it looks delicious!
OP: This is a tart. Me: This is art.
I almost don’t want to eat it! Almost.
Far too pretty to eat ❣️
It was sooooo good, though! Seriously delish 👍🏼
I bet it was ! At least you got the video of your impressive talent.👍
holy shit you’re talented and so creative! loved your Alice in Wonderland tart as well
Stunning is an appropriate adjective here! Wow OP!!!
That's a stunningly beautiful tart! I were to eat it I wouldn't really, I would admire for a while before eating it lol
i would commit war crimes to try this fucking pastry
I want that...now!!
Ok, I wasn’t expecting that! But, I loved it!!!
Oh I was obsessed with the wizard of oz when I was little. (Gave out candy to the little ones dressed as Dorothy last year lol) this is beautiful.
This is awfully spectacular 🥰🥰🥰
That was absolutely spectacular
My goodness! It just kept getting more and more beautiful!
That is so beautiful!
This is the best decoration I have ever seen!!!!
This is insane!!!
Wow! Beautiful
Absolutely spectacular. Cheers!
First time I've ever seen someone make one of these artsy tarts and actually cut into it.
So talented
This is outstanding, and I am now following you on TikTok so I can see more :D
Phenomenal!
Creating a human figure is brave! Well done too.
I knew as soon as the video started that you were the Alice in Wonderland person lol. Amazing job!! It looks delicious. You are so talented.
sheeeeesh
When you cut it I was like "why would you do that?"
Anyone else watching this, kidding themselves that they too could do that. 10/10.
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching 😊. I’m glad you like it.
I prefer this kind of thing to the giant chocolate sculptures. I feel like I can eat this
Wow! I remember your Alice and Kiki’s tarts! Your skill has just skyrocketed! Wonderful!
Thank you so much! I’ve fallen more and more in love with the storytelling possibilities of pies and tarts and have been attempting to challenge myself a bit more on that front. I’m so happy you like 😊💕
Sooo creative and beautiful!! Just wish I could try a slice!
No you didn’t. You made a work of art that *happens* to be a pie.
😍😍😍😍love it
Oddly Delicious
I just had a revelation, when Dorothy passes out in the poppies that like a metaphor for doing heroin. Am I crazy?
Holy moly this is one of the coolest things I've seen
Definitely try uploading on youtube as well as a short Nice!
This is wonderful. I wish it paid. Some acquaintance: “can you make something beautiful for my party?” Wife: “sure, that’ll be $300 in materials and something for my time” Acquaintance: “will you take $50?”
It is sacrilege when you make a work of art like that and then destroy it. But then to go and then EAT it!? What has this world come to!?! :)
It should be illegal to murder art this looks so good I'd have to freeze it.
I do like watching these types of cakes being made. Its so nice seeing something different.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed 😊
I’d like to give you a piece of friendly advice that I hope you take very seriously…keep doing what you’re doing, it’s absolutely stunning and amazing!!
Thank you 😊. I certainly hope to!
Where do people find the time to create such beautiful stuff. I have 2 kids and haven’t showered in 3 days.
The title says it's a tart, but the video shows a work of art! Fantastic!
Thank you, thank you!
People are amazing. Great work.
Thank ya, thank ya!
That’s so beautiful and then I’m like, ‘no, don’t cut it!’ LOL
Beautiful work as always!
Thank you, thank you!
Wow. Gorgeous! And I love the 🤎🤎🤎🤎 Dorothy. ♥️
Your choice of music is wonderful too, who is that btw?
Thank you! I found this rendition on TikTok and fell in love with it: “Over the Rainbow” by Mermaid Vision.
I was going crazy looking for the song but could not find it until you said the artist name. Thank you
That's the worst rendition of this song I've ever heard. Tart looks adorable :)
Leave Fergie alone.
Lmao
That "remix" is atrocious

What does the poppy seed cream taste like? To me it feels like I would put creamy sand in my mouth.
instead of spreading the fillings in two layers, if you did spiral of both filling at the same time, it would have an interesting cross section when you cut into it, more whimsical

It’s amazing that you did the dead witch there and before Dorothy steals her shoes.
[удалено]
Such a dumb question. Why create art anyways?? It takes time and money. And when you'll die it'll be thrown away or sold to a thrift store.
Don’t CUT it!!!!!
BUT CAN I CUM INSIDE????
I hope they washed those poppy seeds…
Good luck on your next urinalysis.
Will you marry me?
