How to about make it fancy?
This is literally how fancy restaurants do it. Cheap ingredients, but you’re paying for the execution and the time spent to make it.
You obviously haven't been to a fine dining restaurant. Yes, you pay for the execution but you also pay for premium quality ingredients, not whatever crap is used in these frozen cheesecakes.
@@B_27 "You've obviously never paid ridiculous prices for food that can be made at home with less expensive ingredients and taste just as good because most fine dining is about the atmosphere." Is it frozen cheesecakes? Naw, but if you're not in a place where everyone is wearing a suit and there's a small orchestra, rest assured the ingredients were not flown in totally fresh that morning from whatever remote location contains them. They're frozen, shipped like anything else, and you're mostly paying for a chef that could take two slices of bread and some cheese and make something that blows you down while you'd be lucky to whip up a grilled cheese.
Nekufan1000000 it sounds like you’ve had some bad dinning experiences. I can assure you there are plenty of chef’s that pride themselves in serving fresh and local ingredients. I guess we see value in different things. Enjoy your grilled cheese 😆
@@B_27 A lot of desserts at US restaurants are purchased from restaurant supply stores, with minimal retouching. Some will be from frozen.
Baltasar Jimenez I’m not from the US so I can only speak from my restaurant experiences here but when I said “fine dining” I wasn’t talking about The Olive Garden 😂.

I am a total believer that the way something looks makes I taste better... but! I also think that your family preferring the fancy playing may also have to do with the textural changes you’ve made in each plating. Making elements of the dish crispier or chewier or fluffier, as you did, adds more diversity to the experience, making it more enjoyable. My hypothesis is your family would like the fancy platings more even in a blind taste test.
Also the addition of the fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream would have definitely improved the taste
And the order of flavors in the mouth, too.
Have to agree with the texture thing. Although, I’d like to do a taste test on a fancy version and regular frozen version of something to see if it does actually “taste” better.
Personally, I hate cheesecake, so I wouldn’t be eating anything in the video (except the fresh strawberries).
The texture is a great point.
Well obviously now we need a blind taste testing.
Gordon Ramsay would be shocked of how delicious this looks
Even he would admit that Ann is a genius cupcake.
And he would be shocked when he would find it it's frozen cheesecake!
Bloody diahrea on a plate
He is just an agile arsehole
SeriousName XD I never laugh at a comment but I laughed
As a UK student with bills, course costs, and rent to pay I’d love to see more of this content! They all looked amazing but number 1 was just gorgeous
#1 is the most intriguing.
Ann, did you choose the frozen strawberry cheesecake because Woolies is selling strawberries for $1.50 today?
Lmao I recognized the woolies brand straight away
We love a smart woman that buys thing on sale
Me: it’s the same dessert. I’m being tricked.
Also me: I WANT A TINY TART
Yeah she made them look really nice with added strawberries and cream... I now want to make one
I know this video is ages old but I’ve just discovered Ann’s videos and I am obsessed!!! I’ve been binging them these past few days. I just wanted to say I love all these platings but my favorite is the cloud garden!!! It’s stunning.
Same here!
I've returned to this video so many times. Genius idea and flawless execution. I would love more videos like this, where we learn to replate/reassemble cheap store bought foods in a cool improved way
The channel Internet Shaquille has lots of videos with these sorts of recipes/methods. Here’s his recent video on making a “lazy croquembouche” as a good example:
ruclips.net/video/k3YS7g8RV_E/видео.html
Yeah it’s so difficult to find videos like these
I went to a nice restaurant and they had lava cake and it was the same exact “Safeway select” brand one can find at Albertsons/Vons here in the states. They had the audacity to charge like $10 for it and I know it’s a 2 pack for like $4 at the grocery. I knew it was the frozen one because it was still frozen in the middle. It’s nice to do this fancy plate for yourself or friends or family, but not at a restaurant trying to pass it off as something gourmet.
Edit to my comment: however, if a place is going to go all out to do a total reconstruction like the video shows, at least that’s an effort!
I would be aghast.
are you sure it was a Safeway cake? There are companies who make frozen desert for restaurants as most restaurants including the upper mid range dont have pastry chefs. They are handmade desert just made in mass for restaurants to use. Also remember when you go to a restaurant...you aren't paying for just the ingredients...you are paying for the cooks time, the dishwashers time the maintenance of the building the waiter etc. A lot of restaurants have lower profit margins then people think.
@@m.d6035 i know "hand made" bakeries often use premade muffin / cookie / cake mixes. Helps them to guarantee the stable and predictable quality. I don't mind as long as there is extra work done with the filling or icing, like this video, but sometimes it's just plain biscuit dough and the most boring white cream layers...
@@jonathandpg6115 you should also specifically mention the cost of styling and maintaing the style of the venue. The atmosphere is part of the dining experience. Eating at a restaurant or cafe (or even a nice looking fast food joint) can be like a mini vacation from the rest of your life, or even like travelling home briefly for a bit if you are homesick and find some venue that is themed after elements that are nostalgic to you. A good interior decoration and styling is genuinely worth paying more money for.
You are very creative Ann. I love your nails.😃👍
Thanks Smiley Girl
Same loveing it 🙂😊😮

I started watching the first plating and thought, “Hell, making it from scratch is easier than this.” Then I watched the rest of the video and thought, “These are fantastic.” I do think I liked the first one the best. Your execution is a beautiful marriage of the science and art of cooking.
The mini gardens one was so cute! It looked like a fairy could live inside that cheesecake landscape
I'm a 1000% positive, that if anyone who wants to do this will buy the frozen cheesecakes but instead of doing all this end up eating the cheesecake just like that.
I want to do this, but buying the dessert seems like a waste of my time when I can just cook this from scratch and plate it after that
So true. Even I don't feel like putting in do much time to just decorate the food. It's should be served decently yes but if u take hours just to make it look good that's too much! It's food just respect it and eat it. It's getting staler every minute so why delay eating it so much. The fresher the better the tastier. 10 15 mins is fine not more than that
@@pss5714 frozen cheesecake already isn’t the most fresh thing lmao
@@Call-me-Al that’s good point
@@Mikey-jv5fv true that!

I really like how you are so creative even some cheap foods you can turn it into a fancy,gourmet meal like in a expensive restaurant
But they're still store bought... they look nicer but taste the same and now there's less of it xD
@hy i think you missed the point of the video. Plating affects the perception of taste. So replating the cheap cheesecake makes it taste better
i never in a thousand years would have thought of doing any of these you’re amazing ann 😍
I've probably watched this over a dozen times i just love this kind of video of how creative you can get with simple things think outside the pre-made box
Ann: “Which plating did you like the best?”
Me: “yes”
Not gonna lie; I thought they were actually going to be served in a restaurant, and we were going to see people’s reactions.
That would have been COOL!
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
Ann: I’m gonna dunk on these frozen desserts companies using their own food.
*Dont watch my last video!*

I WAS AT A PARTY, SAW THIS NOTIFICATION, AND IMMEDIATELY PRESSED IT
And then got sad because I was an hour late
STILL WORTH IT
MY FAITH IN FRIDAY IS RESTORED
You know, whenever i watch your channel Ann, it always reminds me of the good ol days of youtube where people created content because it was what they WANTED to do and they did it more of as a hobby rather than a job. This is why I absolutely love your channel because it brims with your passion and love which is making beautiful desserts and sweets. Its always a nice reminder that there are still REAL content creators amongst the youtube that is dominated by cheap, low effort videos. Thank you Ann for your hard work and keep it up, you are one of the few gems thats still exist on this platform.
The one with the clouds is so beautiful!!
Please do another one!! This video was so relaxing and creative.
I think the price of these "cheap" desserts takes convenience into account. Once you're putting this much work into it, it's probably cheaper to do from scratch.
Not really. Say if someone got something like this from a food bank for example, I think they would love a way to pretty it up very cheaply. Although, I agree accounting for the work alone you might as well just make it yourself.
Yes but you also have to take into account what your time is worth, like if you have a low income but lots of time then this is perfect but if you’re working more then the convenience is more important!
Btw this is also why homemade food/stuff is seen both as a sign of wealth and poverty
I absolutely love this! This is about my 5th time watching this haha..l but- I’d love a part two! This was such a good video and I think it’d be super fun to watch a part two, keep doing what you’re doing Ann! ^_^
The first is my fav. Whimsical!
I have a video idea: I think that in the debunking series, you should have an episode where you fix the hack to make it better. I would live to see you try to make the hacks actually work ❤️
Me: Wakes up to see the gray-yellowish light coming into my room, looking at the red sun shining though the clouds or smoke I'm not sure anymore remembering that that I live in the California valley, that there is another wild fire going on, and evacuations might start or are already started in my county, notices that Ann posted a video
day: becomes a little bit better

i swear california is australia but in the states
the little individual tarts are definitely the ones im most likely to do at home, but i am so in love with the little glasses, they're so fun and whimsical they just make me so happy
No. 3! Modern, clean, but still inviting. At least to me. You are so talented and creative!
Experiments do seems to indicate that presentation affects perception of taste. However, I've eaten masterfully plated, high-priced food that was massively disappointing. And simple, even messy food that was a gastronomic delight.
So, in my experience anyway, presentation affecting perception is subjective in itself.
Regardless, I like your plating ideas and will use them for home-made treats for the best of both worlds.
Yeah I’ve had beautiful food with very disappointing taste
It affects it but isn't the whe thing. We eat with our eyes first but we have to follow up with it after.
Also what people don't always realize is that some of the "rules" on how to plate food come from....the texture which does affect taste.
@@jonathandpg6115 Of course, temperature as well. Mood can too. We taste with our minds as well as our tongues.
Heard some wedding cakes are like this. They look pretty but taste awful according to some people.
@@thgritic102 Fondant is often the culprit there. It makes for a mouldable, durable finish, but the taste isn't always nice.
This is a fantastic concept!
Years and years ago ( on SBS I think) there was a comedy show, a parody of all those lifestyle/gardening/cooking programs. One of the segments was how to turn a KFC meal into a gastronomic feast ( a turret of coleslaw topped with refried chicken skin, a quenelle of mashed potato + deboned chicken piece with dipping sauce spheres).
I'd love to see what you could REALLY do to cheese cake if you included molecular gastronomy techniques + a few extra ingredients ,😉
Please keep these videos going! They're so fun to watch... and I finally have a slim chance of possibly recreating something you've made x
Number 1 is just the most whimsical thing. I love it.
I just eat everything off the floor. I find that adds a certain bold taste, a Je ne sais pas, if you will.
« Je ne sais pas. » 😂 Perfect touch.
This gives off immaculate chaotic energy
Ok, I just watch these because it relieves me of anxiety, I dont actually cook them, although they look very yummy! Thank you Ann!

This is what cooking hacks should be. Not those dainty So Yummy hacks that "work."
100% guarantee there are actual gourmet restaurants that do this.
Yeah, but cheesecake is almost the easiest conventional dessert to make - imho easier than pound cake. Who orders strawberry cheesecake at a gourmet restaurant?

@@Shindashi you would be surprised but in my country only expensive gourmet restaurants serve cheesecake... Its a (very expensive) luxury here because cheese costs a lot
Most of these would be a easier to do from scratch if you know what you're doing though. Why would you want to spend the time separating graham cracker from cheesecake if you could just make your own cheesecake base and crush your own graham crackers (or use pre-made crumbs)?
Unlikely. It will certainly take less time and taste better with fresh ingredients
Part two of this please? I’d love to see you do this with other food too ❤️
