Variations on a puzzle: French pastry chef creates colourful Rubik’s Cube cakes – PHOTOS
Change language:
A French pastry chef has taken the well-know and well-loved Hungarian puzzle, the Rubik’s Cube, and turned it into a culinary curiosity in the form of tiny cakes.
According to mymodernmet.com, French pastry chef Cédric Grolet has found a fascinating source of inspiration for his latest project: the Rubik’s Cube. The culinary twist on the famous Hungarian puzzle features 27 individual pastries in a variety of flavour pairings, such as apricot and rosemary or cherry and tarragon. Vibrant colours and eye-catching textures, such as shiny glazes and gold foil, took the place of the traditional colour scheme of the Rubik’s Cube.
The Rubik’s Cube cakes are available at Le Dalí, a restaurant located inside the Le Meurice hotel in Paris.
The Rubik’s Cube is one of the most famous Hungarian inventions. The inventor, Ernő Rubik, who was a professor of architecture at the time, initially intended the cube to be a demonstration tool in the classroom. The 1974 prototype was made of wood and the sides were marked with different colours so the movement of the small cubes could be followed.
