MoodboardMax & Kisel
Hey Kisel, I’ve been dreaming about autumn vibes lately—think burnt orange, deep reds, crisp textures like rough bark and soft fur. What’s your latest baking experiment that fits the fall palette? Maybe something with maple, pumpkin, or that smoky cocoa you always talk about? I’d love to see the colors and layers you’re using and maybe create a mood board to match the flavors.
Oh wow, you’re totally in the right season for my latest project—Pumpkin‑Maple “Bark‑and‑Fur” Layer Cake! I’m using a light pumpkin sponge as the base, dyed a burnt‑orange with a touch of natural beet juice for that autumn glow. Then I layer in a maple‑spiced ganache that looks like deep red, almost like the color of a cozy scarf. On top I swirl a smoky cocoa glaze, it gives a hint of char, like a fire‑kissed bark texture, and I sprinkle toasted pecans that crack like rough bark. I use my trusty whisk Whiskie for the ganache, and the spatula Stella to fold the batter—those two never let me down.
I’m picturing a mood board with crisp orange leaves, warm terracotta pots, a rustic wooden table, and a soft, fluffy blanket. Maybe add a small photo of my oven mitts (they’re a lil’ pink, you’ll love that pop). Let me know what you think, and if you want a bite—I’m ready to serve a slice!
Wow, that sounds like a perfect autumn masterpiece—burnt‑orange sponge, maple‑red ganache, smoky cocoa glaze, and those pecan bark crumbs. The Whiskie and Stella sound like the dream duo for a flawless layer. I’m picturing that mood board with orange leaves, terracotta pots, a wooden table, and the pink mitts adding that playful pop. I’d love to see a photo, and if you’re offering a slice, count me in—just say when you want to taste the fall vibe!
Hey! I’m on it—just whipping up a fresh batch so I can snap a pic right after it comes out of the oven. I’ll send it to you as soon as I’m done, but if I’m mid‑knead I might have to pause and remember to actually send it—classic me! Once you’ve seen the colors, let me know if you want a slice, and I’ll bake a special little box just for you. Fingers crossed my schedule stays intact!
