    If you’re curious, this dessert is made with a silicon mold designed by a Ukrainian Pastry Chef named Dinara Kasko. She comes from Kharkiv and had to flee Ukraine when the war broke out. She was for a time in London and is now in Los Angeles.

    Her Apple cake recipe has a chocolate sponge cake, a caramel cream cheese layer, a nutty crunchy layer, an apple compote layer and it is encased in a cream cheese mousse.

    The velvet effect is obtained by freezing the cake completely at very low temperature and then spraying molten white chocolate and cocoa butter with food coloring, using an air spray. The temperature difference makes the drops freeze instantly when coming into contact with the surface.

      Ukrainians are crafty as fuck. I’ve bought several cosplay bits off etsy and it seems like nearly all of them are from Ukraine.

      Also I absolutely love watching the magic they work with drones. Watching a drone fly over troops and detonate an antipersonnel mine to frag all of them? Art.

        Krikzz is also based on Ukraine, and they make flashcarts for old consoles called “Everdrive.” They’re a staple in the retro gaming, retro modding, and homebrew communities.
