0:00:17.852,0:00:18.866
Thank you.

0:00:18.866,0:00:21.212
So, good day to everyone.

0:00:21.812,0:00:23.846
I would like you to imagine a cake.

0:00:24.133,0:00:25.496
Just a cake, OK?

0:00:25.666,0:00:27.569
It can be your favorite cake,

0:00:27.569,0:00:29.612
made by you or by your mom,

0:00:29.612,0:00:32.483
or some cake from[br]the nearest pastry shop -

0:00:32.483,0:00:34.595
just ordinary favorite cake.

0:00:35.078,0:00:40.486
Of course, I have my ideas[br]about how a perfect cake looks like,

0:00:40.486,0:00:42.482
and you have your ideas.

0:00:42.562,0:00:45.181
So let's compare our ideas.

0:00:45.651,0:00:48.233
My cake can look like this -

0:00:51.133,0:00:53.065
and it has some fillings inside -

0:00:53.215,0:00:54.515
or like this

0:00:55.492,0:00:57.133
or like this.

0:00:57.646,0:00:59.542
That's why I'm here today,

0:00:59.542,0:01:04.583
and I would like to talk about my concept[br]and about my creations.

0:01:05.453,0:01:09.305
So, people have been consuming[br]sweets for ages,

0:01:09.305,0:01:13.822
and if you try to find some information[br]about the first sweets -

0:01:13.822,0:01:18.053
for example, ice cream was invented[br]more than 4,000 years ago,

0:01:18.053,0:01:22.482
and people just mixed ice[br]with fruit and berries

0:01:22.482,0:01:24.272
and ate it like ice cream.

0:01:24.272,0:01:28.112
But for many years in the past,[br]sugar was a true luxury item

0:01:28.112,0:01:33.035
and only rich people[br]could buy sweet things.

0:01:33.035,0:01:36.172
But in the 19th century,[br]everything changed,

0:01:36.172,0:01:39.088
and sugar became accessible[br]almost to everyone

0:01:39.088,0:01:41.302
because sugar production increased.

0:01:41.412,0:01:43.622
At the same time, in Europe,

0:01:43.622,0:01:48.466
the tradition to finish a meal[br]with some sweet dessert was born,

0:01:48.466,0:01:51.129
and this tradition still exists nowadays.

0:01:51.459,0:01:56.225
So me, my family and I,[br]we are not an exception,

0:01:56.225,0:02:00.996
and we also usually eat some sweets,[br]some cakes after a meal.

0:02:01.596,0:02:04.857
Of course, there are some people[br]who don't want to eat any sweets,

0:02:04.857,0:02:06.298
but I'm not among them.

0:02:06.298,0:02:09.715
I really want to eat cakes[br]and croissants, ice cream -

0:02:09.715,0:02:10.732
I like it -

0:02:10.732,0:02:13.953
and this is one of the reasons[br]why I became a pastry chef.

0:02:13.953,0:02:16.963
Because I wanted to cook it[br]and I wanted to eat it.

0:02:17.273,0:02:20.190
So when I was 15,[br]I decided to be an architect.

0:02:20.190,0:02:22.678
I decided I want to be an architect.

0:02:22.748,0:02:27.186
Of course, I had no idea[br]that objects of my design would be cake.

0:02:27.796,0:02:31.560
I graduated from the University[br]of Architecture and Design,

0:02:31.560,0:02:35.070
and I worked as an interior[br]designer for a few years,

0:02:35.070,0:02:38.913
but then something happened,[br]and I starting baking and cooking.

0:02:38.913,0:02:42.983
Of course, I cook[br]for me and for my family.

0:02:43.293,0:02:45.233
For me, it was very important

0:02:45.233,0:02:47.191
when a dish, when a meal

0:02:47.191,0:02:50.239
was beautifully presented[br]and beautifully served.

0:02:50.239,0:02:53.357
And what can be[br]more beautiful than a cake?

0:02:53.357,0:02:56.245
So, I don't know - for me, it's a cake.

0:02:57.435,0:02:59.248
So I started baking,

0:02:59.248,0:03:01.161
and in general,

0:03:01.161,0:03:06.411
I saw, for the first time in my life,[br]I saw a mousse-glazed cake,

0:03:06.411,0:03:07.871
maybe six years ago.

0:03:07.871,0:03:11.279
And I was totally shocked,[br]and for me it was like a miracle.

0:03:11.279,0:03:15.427
Oh my God, it was so shiny,[br]so bright, so unusual for me.

0:03:15.427,0:03:17.830
And it was something very new.

0:03:17.830,0:03:22.208
And modern cake for me and for people,

0:03:22.208,0:03:27.022
it's not just sponge cake[br]with cream and sugar and berries.

0:03:27.022,0:03:28.556
It's something bigger,

0:03:28.556,0:03:32.571
and it's a real art,[br]and it's real science.

0:03:32.571,0:03:34.334
Modern pastry chefs

0:03:34.334,0:03:38.357
are not just ordinary people[br]who make the same things day by day.

0:03:38.827,0:03:40.467
They compete with each other,

0:03:40.467,0:03:43.378
they need to make some creative things,

0:03:43.378,0:03:46.000
they need to make pieces of art.

0:03:46.000,0:03:50.722
I would like to show you[br]a modern pastry world from that side

0:03:50.722,0:03:53.323
to show that it can be real art.

0:03:54.853,0:03:58.227
I started baking, and, of course,[br]I had my social networks,

0:03:58.227,0:04:01.008
and I wanted to share[br]my passion, my hobby,

0:04:01.008,0:04:03.455
with my followers, with my friends,

0:04:03.455,0:04:07.624
and I started posting pictures[br]on my Instagram.

0:04:07.624,0:04:10.757
Then I noted that some creative objects

0:04:10.757,0:04:14.590
usually attracted much more attention

0:04:14.590,0:04:17.156
and got more likes, for example.

0:04:17.896,0:04:21.520
And I started to think about[br]my own moulds, own designs.

0:04:21.520,0:04:22.723
But unfortunately,

0:04:22.723,0:04:27.046
it was almost impossible[br]to make some special objects

0:04:27.046,0:04:30.262
using just ordinary moulds[br]from mass production,

0:04:30.262,0:04:34.637
because everybody had the same moulds,[br]so I could make only the same things.

0:04:34.637,0:04:40.884
So I started to think about my own moulds,[br]and I started to think about a 3D printer.

0:04:41.514,0:04:45.723
And to be honest, at that time,[br]I knew nothing about 3D printing -

0:04:45.911,0:04:48.265
okay, so there is some 3D printer -

0:04:48.265,0:04:50.607
but now I work with it a lot,

0:04:50.607,0:04:55.452
and for me, it's just an ordinary tool,[br]like a standard mixer on my kitchen.

0:04:55.452,0:04:57.906
So I work with it almost every day.

0:04:59.026,0:05:03.358
3D printing was invented[br]maybe 30 or 40 years ago,

0:05:03.358,0:05:05.987
and with a 3D printer,

0:05:05.987,0:05:09.757
we can print very tiny,[br]small objects, like for jewelry,

0:05:09.757,0:05:12.006
or big objects, like a house.

0:05:12.006,0:05:13.717
And it's possible.

0:05:13.717,0:05:16.641
Can you imagine a big printed house,

0:05:16.641,0:05:21.056
400 square meters?

0:05:21.056,0:05:22.787
It's possible.

0:05:22.787,0:05:25.821
However, I work[br]with [more] modest objects,

0:05:25.821,0:05:26.846
just my moulds,

0:05:26.846,0:05:28.703
and I work with plastic.

0:05:30.623,0:05:34.904
My first mould, I printed[br]a couple of years ago,

0:05:34.904,0:05:38.156
and it was the cake from this mould.

0:05:40.236,0:05:42.940
I wanted to make some special cake,

0:05:42.940,0:05:47.630
and this cake has[br]a very aggressive design,

0:05:47.630,0:05:50.380
with sharp edges and strict lines

0:05:50.380,0:05:51.972
and with provocative colors,

0:05:51.972,0:05:56.722
and for me, it was important to make[br]something different to surprise people.

0:05:56.722,0:06:00.160
So we made this cake,

0:06:00.160,0:06:04.182
and then this experiment was successful,

0:06:04.182,0:06:08.361
and I realized that, okay,[br]now I can do anything I want.

0:06:08.361,0:06:09.859
Almost everything.

0:06:11.209,0:06:15.904
I would like to talk[br]about the 3D printing process.

0:06:16.799,0:06:19.863
What you have to do, it's a small lesson.

0:06:20.023,0:06:22.097
You need to make a 3D model.

0:06:22.097,0:06:24.384
You can use any software.

0:06:24.384,0:06:30.779
For example, I work with 3ds Max,[br]Grasshopper, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD,

0:06:30.779,0:06:32.766
Houdini, and different software.

0:06:32.766,0:06:38.293
Then you have to print this mould,[br]and you have a printed mould.

0:06:38.293,0:06:39.942
I call it prototype.

0:06:43.832,0:06:45.296
Then you have a printed mould,

0:06:45.296,0:06:49.986
and you have to pour silicone on the top[br]and wait a few hours,

0:06:49.986,0:06:53.087
and you will have just some silicon mould.

0:06:53.087,0:06:56.831
And inside, you have to put[br]some ingredients, some recipe.

0:07:01.097,0:07:04.499
It's a very important part for me[br]to create a very good recipe.

0:07:04.499,0:07:08.312
Because the recipe is very important.

0:07:08.312,0:07:13.039
We need to have very good textures inside[br]and very good flavors inside.

0:07:13.039,0:07:16.296
Otherwise, people[br]won't buy it a second time.

0:07:17.667,0:07:21.317
You see, they were different layers,[br]and it was a cake.

0:07:22.077,0:07:23.782
(Laughter)

0:07:25.402,0:07:29.527
So, when you have your recipe,[br]you put inside some ingredients,

0:07:29.527,0:07:30.813
and you need to freeze it,

0:07:30.813,0:07:35.626
and after, you just need to finish it[br]with glazing or spraying,

0:07:35.626,0:07:37.183
and you have your cake.

0:07:37.183,0:07:39.773
It's not the end.

0:07:40.203,0:07:43.051
My last step is making photos and videos,

0:07:43.051,0:07:46.259
and it's a big, separate part for me,

0:07:46.259,0:07:50.580
and usually I try to make[br]very good visual content

0:07:50.580,0:07:53.667
because it's very important for me.

0:07:55.107,0:07:57.156
Just a few people can eat my cakes.

0:07:57.156,0:08:00.556
I don't have any mass production;[br]I don't have any shop now.

0:08:00.556,0:08:03.373
But everybody can see[br]my cakes, my creations.

0:08:03.373,0:08:07.803
So I want to share good pictures,[br]and I want to surprise people.

0:08:07.803,0:08:11.016
And this is my next step and my next goal.

0:08:11.016,0:08:13.593
I want to surprise and inspire people.

0:08:13.593,0:08:17.344
Because when you see my cake,[br]if you see it for the first time,

0:08:17.344,0:08:19.984
you can't understand what it is,

0:08:19.984,0:08:22.649
whether it is, I don't know,[br]some piece of furniture,

0:08:22.649,0:08:25.763
some tray or weighs[br]or something, plastic toy.

0:08:25.763,0:08:29.301
But if you cut it, you have inside[br]a lot of different layers.

0:08:29.301,0:08:34.305
They can be crunchy or fluffy, gentle,

0:08:34.305,0:08:36.529
with chocolate, with different fruits.

0:08:36.529,0:08:38.354
It's a real cake.

0:08:38.624,0:08:40.263
I want to inspire people,

0:08:40.263,0:08:42.935
and some people write me,

0:08:43.245,0:08:46.068
like "You are my inspiration,[br]and I started to bake.

0:08:46.068,0:08:49.389
I want to be a pastry chef;[br]I changed my career,"

0:08:49.389,0:08:51.521
and I'm very happy about it

0:08:51.521,0:08:54.070
because I want to share my passion also.

0:08:54.070,0:08:55.506
And once,

0:08:56.937,0:09:01.636
Malevich worked with his students[br]on some manufacturing,

0:09:01.636,0:09:05.921
and they were making[br]some design for a teapot.

0:09:05.921,0:09:10.588
And when the director of this [factory],[br]he came and saw this teapot,

0:09:10.588,0:09:13.450
and he said, "It's a good idea,

0:09:13.450,0:09:15.671
but it's not very convenient,

0:09:15.671,0:09:16.823
this teapot."

0:09:16.823,0:09:20.984
And sometimes, my cake,[br]it's not just a cake.

0:09:20.984,0:09:23.987
It's the idea of a cake.

0:09:23.987,0:09:26.121
And Malevich answered him,

0:09:26.121,0:09:28.806
"It's not a teapot;[br]it's an idea of a teapot."

0:09:28.806,0:09:33.018
So I try to just make some ideas[br]and to share them.

0:09:34.540,0:09:41.163
For example, here, a lot of people[br]think that it's glass, but it's sugar.

0:09:41.163,0:09:43.498
This is a sugar box.

0:09:44.478,0:09:48.157
And my next step -

0:09:48.157,0:09:53.257
I wanted to explain[br]my project a little bit.

0:09:53.257,0:09:55.805
So it's a cherry cake.

0:09:56.583,0:10:00.321
We used 3ds Max to make this mould,

0:10:00.321,0:10:04.377
and we just made a 3D-modeled cherry,

0:10:04.377,0:10:07.849
and we put inside,[br]inside an invisible box,

0:10:07.849,0:10:08.961
a lot of cherries,

0:10:08.961,0:10:11.164
and then we hide this box.

0:10:11.164,0:10:15.510
And at the end, we had[br]just a lot of cherries stuck together.

0:10:16.501,0:10:18.139
You see this process?

0:10:18.139,0:10:19.900
Just a lot of cherries.

0:10:19.900,0:10:22.758
Then, of course,[br]I finished it with my hand,

0:10:22.768,0:10:28.107
and, also, I can show dismould.

0:10:28.347,0:10:30.426
It was demoulded.

0:10:31.106,0:10:34.085
Then we made a silicon mould,[br]and, of course, we made a cake,

0:10:34.085,0:10:37.393
and after you cover it with glaze,

0:10:37.683,0:10:40.838
it looks like real cherries[br]just stuck together.

0:10:41.078,0:10:45.813
Of course, if you cut it,[br]you have different layers inside.

0:10:46.323,0:10:48.877
This is the cherry cake,[br]of course with cherry taste,

0:10:48.877,0:10:51.083
and with dark chocolate and cherry.

0:10:51.083,0:10:55.383
And by the way, this video[br]got more than nine million views,

0:10:55.383,0:10:58.797
and for me, it was[br]a very big surprise also.

0:10:58.797,0:11:00.685
(Music)

0:11:02.264,0:11:04.934
Yeah, so it's eatable.

0:11:05.694,0:11:06.927
Yeah.

0:11:10.213,0:11:15.045
So my next cake, I call it cluster cake.

0:11:15.045,0:11:18.859
Using a Voronoi diagram,[br]we split this shape.

0:11:18.859,0:11:22.868
We tried to make a stone effect,[br]so, like, we have a lot of stones.

0:11:23.428,0:11:27.374
Then, we just broke off some of them,

0:11:27.374,0:11:30.684
and we have this stone cake mould.

0:11:30.794,0:11:32.873
It looks very nice.

0:11:33.593,0:11:39.893
This is work of a Venezuelan artist,[br]and his name is Jose Margulis,

0:11:39.893,0:11:44.227
and he works with 3D sculptures[br]and compositions.

0:11:44.697,0:11:48.789
He works usually with plastic,[br]metal, and acrylic sheets,

0:11:48.789,0:11:51.877
but he sent me his drawings,[br]and I made this.

0:11:51.877,0:11:54.843
But I made it of chocolate,

0:11:54.843,0:11:59.198
so they were just chocolate sheets.

0:11:59.977,0:12:01.785
And of course, we made a video.

0:12:01.785,0:12:04.765
Every time, we try to make[br]photos and videos.

0:12:06.385,0:12:10.111
Here, we're using also a milling machine.

0:12:11.541,0:12:15.961
This was a yogurt cake,[br]by the way, with berry.

0:12:17.211,0:12:21.904
We use a milling machine[br]to cut these chocolate sheets.

0:12:21.904,0:12:26.388
I just prepared a lot of sheets[br]with colorful chocolate,

0:12:26.648,0:12:30.665
and we made it in my city[br]in some laboratory.

0:12:30.665,0:12:34.697
This guy created, also,[br]this milling machine by himself.

0:12:35.077,0:12:37.638
Here we tried to show[br]how we can collaborate.

0:12:37.638,0:12:40.533
How different people[br]from different professions

0:12:40.533,0:12:44.170
can make some[br]interesting project together.

0:12:44.170,0:12:48.444
We were three people -[br]artist, engineer, and pastry chef -

0:12:48.444,0:12:52.052
and we created such a collection.

0:12:52.722,0:12:55.017
We called it Kinetic Tarts,

0:12:55.017,0:12:58.443
and [in total], we made[br]four different tarts.

0:13:02.123,0:13:05.220
Here is a picture of ferrofluid.

0:13:05.830,0:13:09.307
Ferrofluid is some liquid[br]that can be strongly magnetized

0:13:09.307,0:13:11.760
in presence of magnetic fields.

0:13:11.760,0:13:14.677
It was a big inspiration for me.

0:13:15.087,0:13:20.638
I dreamed about this shape,[br]and finally I made it like a cake.

0:13:21.048,0:13:23.245
We made it just two months ago.

0:13:23.245,0:13:26.872
Specially, this shape I made[br]for a collaboration

0:13:26.872,0:13:29.400
with a Spanish pastry chef.

0:13:29.890,0:13:33.478
His name is Jordi Bordas,[br]and he's the world champion.

0:13:33.948,0:13:37.003
And here, my second main goal,

0:13:37.003,0:13:40.134
I want to explain to you

0:13:40.134,0:13:44.965
that modern cakes, they can be healthy.

0:13:44.965,0:13:47.991
So here, for example,[br]is a totally vegan cake.

0:13:48.741,0:13:52.856
There is no cream, [br]no butter, no flour, and no eggs.

0:13:52.856,0:13:56.250
But it's still a mousse cake[br]with airy textures inside.

0:13:56.250,0:14:00.907
Instead of this, we have inside[br]mango, lychee, passion fruit, strawberry,

0:14:00.907,0:14:03.150
and even cactus flower.

0:14:03.700,0:14:05.607
This cake was very tasty,

0:14:05.607,0:14:11.918
and it was quite complex to create[br]this recipe without these ingredients,

0:14:11.918,0:14:13.755
even without gelatin or cream,

0:14:13.755,0:14:15.123
it's not easy.

0:14:15.563,0:14:17.528
You have to be smart,

0:14:17.648,0:14:19.289
you have to know a lot

0:14:19.289,0:14:22.660
about chemical processes,[br]physical processes

0:14:23.190,0:14:24.784
to create such a recipe.

0:14:25.094,0:14:28.588
I would like to [say] that modern cakes,

0:14:28.588,0:14:32.570
it's not just sugar with berries,[br]with butter, mixed together.

0:14:33.360,0:14:34.950
They can be healthy.

0:14:34.950,0:14:37.479
We can keep all vitamins inside.

0:14:37.479,0:14:42.907
We can have strong flavor[br]without any special attention.

0:14:43.747,0:14:46.310
It's also very important for me

0:14:46.310,0:14:50.492
to share that we can make[br]very good and tasty cakes

0:14:51.932,0:14:54.415
low in sugar and low in fat.

0:15:00.165,0:15:01.992
So my main message -

0:15:02.862,0:15:08.939
if we eat this cake[br]just a few times during a year,

0:15:09.279,0:15:14.235
maybe for some celebration,[br]for a birthday, for some holiday,

0:15:14.635,0:15:19.606
try to find your perfect,[br]tasty, beautiful cake, like I did.

0:15:19.776,0:15:21.137
Okay, thank you.

0:15:21.137,0:15:22.806
(Applause)
