The speaker discusses their experience with creating a unique origami-inspired cake. They initially found an online origami silicone mold, but it was too small to fit a six-inch round cake. They had to create a template to cut it out and adjust its size to fit the cake. They used cake scraps from previous recipe tests and created a white chocolate ganache with added food coloring and gray to achieve a concrete look. They planned to layer the ganache on the cake and then apply a marbled effect.
However, they encountered challenges with the mold, particularly with the cake spilling out and the mold not releasing properly. They had to put the cake in the fridge to help it set. Despite these issues, they were excited about the final outcome, which they hoped would have a uniform marble pattern. They also mentioned the launch of a new course they were working on and invited viewers to sign up for early access.
