There is something beautiful about the baking process. The way flour feels in your hands or the sound of eggs cracking on the edge of a bowl. Baking is a gathering of interesting materials, a mixed medium art piece of sorts, that ends in a cake instead of a canvas.

Thank you for your compliments. We have not been able to respond to comments for some reason (still trying to figure it out....) but here is some general info.

We shot this with a Canon 5D and 7D with EF 50mm f1.4 USM and EF 24-105mm f4L IS. We edited in Final Cut Pro and colored in Color and FCP. We wrote out the titles and edited them in Photoshop.

And yes, the beet cake is delicious!

    i love so many things about this, especially the noises synced up to the breaking of the chocolate and setting on the plate, the drawer of flour and the blowing of the flour, the vanilla dripping in slow motion, and the powdered sugar sprinkling down on the cake. great job!!

    what a lovely video, i love all the details that you have selected.. Like the furniture containing the flour, the shape of your spoons, every single detail counts! And Most important thing, I think you wanted to tell us a story, or at least to share with us your love for baking, and in my case I have to say that it really really worked!!! looking forward to watching your new videos :)
