A couple of months ago I did a post about a very exciting Lithuanian pastry - the tree cake (šakotis). And just recently I received an email from Carl Pendle, a UK-based freelance lifestyle photographer & filmmaker, who shared a fascinating video he created about the process of baking this cake.
The video was filmed in a specialized bakery, which uses real birch wood fire and employs professional šakotis bakers. Frankly, I was astonished to see the speed of rotation and the furiously flying batter. I assume the speed and the batter consistency can be adjusted depending on the desired length and shape of cake "branches".
My sincere thanks to Carl for sharing this video!
