Precision chef decorates entire wedding cake in five minutes

Wedding cakes—those elaborately-adorned and exorbitantly-priced obligatory dessert centrepieces—are typically the products of hours of labour by expert pastry chefs, hence the dizzyingly-steep price tags. Well, we assumed they were. Then we watched this clip.

When Chef Tony (Trinh Hung) of Las Vegas bakery Pastry Palace released a video in 2014 showing him ninja piping an entire cake, transforming it from fondant-covered bare slab to epic fairy-tale wedding cake in under five minutes, the internet gave him kudos in the form of millions of views. For those who missed it the first time around, the hypnotic clip has been re-trending once again.

"It's astonishing what can be accomplished with a single round white tier, when layers and layers of white are applied, one on top of the other," Hung captions the video.

The chef includes no less than seven types of piping, from tassels and lace to incredible (and astoundingly speedy) hand-formed roses. Watch the clip above to see why the internet is glued to Hung's insane speed-piping skills.
