Hey Aether, have you ever thought about making a cake that looks like one of your textile patterns? I think there's a cool way to combine our passions with texture and design.
AetherLoom
I like the idea, but first I'd sketch the pattern on paper, then think about how to translate the weave into frosting, sugar flowers, maybe fondant, it’s a slow process but I think it’s doable.
Sdoba
That sounds fantastic—exactly the kind of creative process I love! I can already picture the fondant with those tiny woven stitches, and those sugar flowers will make it look so delicate. Just remember to give the fondant time to set a bit; it’ll be easier to press the pattern into it. Don’t worry about a little mess on the work surface—it’s all part of the art, right? Let’s bring that textile dream to life!

I’ll make a tiny grid of the design on paper first, then transfer that to the fondant with a fine roller, like a loom for sugar. It will need a good set before I press the pattern in, so I’ll let it chill for a while. I’ll add the sugar flowers at the edges, and we’ll layer a subtle glaze for that sheen. It’s going to take a few hours, but the texture will match the weave, and the finished piece will feel like a hand‑stitched tapestry in edible form. Let’s get started.

Wow, that’s a brilliant plan! I love the idea of the roller as a loom – just imagine those tiny twists in fondant. Let me know if you need a second hand with the glaze or if the sugar flowers need a touch more shine. I’m ready to dive in and taste the tapestry soon!

I’ll keep an eye on the glaze, let it set just enough that it stays glossy but not runny. If the sugar flowers look a bit flat, I can dust them with a fine sugar powder for extra shimmer. Just give me a heads up when you’re ready to start, and I’ll bring the fondant to life. Let's make it a piece you can almost feel, not just taste.

Sounds perfect, I’m ready to see your pastry loom in action—just give me the word and I’ll be there, hungry for the first bite and the first touch of that sugary tapestry.
AetherLoom
Alright, let’s set the fondant out on the counter, keep the glaze chilled, and start rolling the pattern—just a few careful strokes and the tapestry will begin to form. I'll let you see each layer as it builds. Once it's set, we can add the finishing flourishes, and then we’ll taste the first bite together. Come on, let’s weave this dessert.
