Hot Chocolate

Entirely edible cake arrangement by Ksenia Penkina

When I saw the first video below entitled “I am getting better at editing,” I had no idea what to expect. Then I watched as four copies (?) of the same woman (inexplicably wearing elf ears) assembled a 5-foot-high cake and chocolate creation. I was amazed at the work and patience and skill that went into making this masterpiece. There’d need to be a lot more than just four of me to make something so impressive. This is the marvelous confectionary work by Vancouver-based Ksenia Penkina. Known as the Glazing Queen, she is passionate about sharing her mastery and process. She teaches classes both online and in person, and some of the best-known bakers in the world have taken her courses.

And Penkina hasn’t just been working in the artistic confection creation and teaching space. She’s also put her name on a series of mirror glazes and high-intensity food colors for home bakers and chefs.

You can follow Ksenia Penkina on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. You can also check out her food colors on the By Haute website.
