@@fyyshaAnish Kapoor is the owner of Vantablack, which is the blackest black made. He decided he is the only person able to use Vantablack. To get back at him, Stuart Semple created "The Pinkest Pink". Everyone can buy the Pinkest Pink, except for Anish Kapoor. When you buy it you have to confirm you are, in fact, not Anish Kapoor. You should definetly check out some more things about Anish Kapoor, the guys hilarious.
@@fyysha he’s the artist who acquired vantablack and refused to let anybody but himself use it. an artist called Stuart Semple created a paint very close to Vantablack that is much easier to use and that everybody can buy EXCEPT for Anish Kapoor. it’s a running joke in the art community to keep things out of the hands of Anish Kapoor because he’s an asshole
FYI: Anish Kapoor retained the sole rights to a color called Vanta black(a color developed to be the darkest black available) and would not share with other artists. In retaliation, an artist named Stuart Semple came up with "Blackest Black" and said any artist can buy and use it---as long as they are not Anish Kapoor(or buying it on his behalf)🤣.
It was actually the pinkest pink but yeah, it was hilarious 🤣 (Stewart has since come out with a blacker black than Vanta Black, so it was literally all for naught, but it sure makes for an awesome story lol)
Love me some Stuart Semple, but gotta get the story straight. Vantablack isn’t a color😬 (have a feeling I’m gonna get a pushback on that). It’s the least reflective substance created by humans. Also, mad respect to Stuart, his paints, and his artwork, but he has not created a pigment darker than vantablack. There is currently no pigment as dark or darker than vantablack.
@@Linbur0065well sort of. Anish Kapoor owns all rights to Vantablack, not allowing anyone to use it. Stuart Semple made Black 3.0, a paint for everyone BUT Kapoor to use. Then Semple made the pinkest pink, in which Kapoor found a way to get his hands on it. He took a picture of it on his middle finger and posted it. That’s what happened with the pinkest pink. Funny thing is afterwards Semple made an extremely glittery substance, literally made out of glass shards, and told Kapoor to try sticking his middle finger in that One of my favourite stories in the world 😂
@@jazzbeeetazzbeee the pinkest pink was made in 2016 as a response to vanta black. Black 3.0 was released in 2019, also in response, but it was 3 years later. But everything else is 100% accurate. 🙂
I really hate the misconception of this. Vantablack is not a paint, it is a carbon nanotube pigment and is toxic and a serious health risk similar to asbestos though not quite as bad because of the structural difference. It's not an art material and you need to be specifically trained to use the material and equipment so as not to injure yourself and others.

Thank you for using black cocoa instead of activated charcoal! Activated charcoal can sometimes make medications not work (birth control, antidepressants, etc) so people taking these meds need to be careful!
Many black cocoas use activated charcoal to get the black color actually. It's why she says "It tastes like Oreo cookie butter" because the mouth feel has a bit of that charcoal to it
There is not "sometimes" about it. At the least it will severely reduce the effectiveness of any medication a person is on, which is not a good thing when you require a specific dosage for the medication to work properly.
My mom once got me a black cake to celebrate a award I had won but when she picked it up she asked what they used to make it black and they had used activated charcoal-which meant that bc of the meds I was on I couldn’t eat any of it. 😢(she ended up running to get another cake from the grocery store)
@@elonmusk921 yes almost every artist ive seen likes to say that black 3.0 is the darkest black when it’s not. it’s the darkest PURCHASABLE black but vanta black is the actual darkest black in existence or at least it used to be as someone said there are now darker blacks than vanta
Pro tip: emulsifying in its simplest explanation is mixed two ingredients together that do not typically mix. For example oil and water, and some pastry batters use emulsions Anyways this icing and most vinaigrettes are emulsions You can either mix something thoroughly for a good emulsion (in the case of cake batter and icing etc.) but for a good thick and creamy vinaigrette I recommend blitzing it together, whole different outcome
Also, for people wanting a darker black make extra! Whipping it with that little whipping thing works, but you will have less buttercream than what you started with and if you whip it up normally again, you'll have a similar amount again, but it won't be the same color.
I wish you were every professor/teacher I ever had growing up. haha the way you described emulsification and homogenization were incredibly comprehensive. ahah bravo!

I made black frosted oreo and cheesecake cupcakes for my brother in law's birthday and it stained everyone's teeth black... ever since then, I pledged I would not ever use black food colorant ever again
Don’t be too upset! On my 16 birthday I also had a cake which had some bits of black frosting, it did dye everyone’s tongues and teeth but it worked for some funny pictures and laughs with all of my friends back then which I still fondly remember 10 years later. Some people that ate that cake still ask me if I’m ever getting another black cake 😂.
I'm really excited to try this out, have to wait till after I move. I'm also interested to see if I can make a Black meringue or even Macarons using the sugar syrup. Very awesome creation you've made!
Watching you pull that straight out of the mixing bowl was amazing. This is absolutely beautiful, the color, the texture and how smooth it looks. I want to see it in person 😍❤
I've been doing this for years, a heated/cooked method.. However, I only started using the black cocoa instead of Dutch processed a couple years ago. I saw Joshua John Russell in Man About Cake use black cocoa in his normal frosting. I just used my method. I'm also super positive people have done this heated method year's before me as well... Fantastic video and explained very well! Happy a super talented RUclips I enjoy spread the word!!
Oh interesting! I hadn’t seen that vid. Just watched though, it’s an American Buttercream. I was hoping he was going to torch the finished buttercream a little to increase the diffusion of black cocoa particulates. Mine is a little different though, prob a hair more difficult but that method is an awesome option if you like American buttercreams 👍🏼💕
@@Sugarologie Correct! I meant that I use my (obviously not mine haha) heated method with black cocoa, I've used dutch processed in the past, the the measurements were a bit different. Then I saw Man About Cake and switched to black coco with the heated method and bam.. Amazing. I don't enjoy American buttercream actually, I prefer Swiss meringue (or Brill Light and Fluffy, I know factory made, but it's my my favorite).
About 13 years ago I worked in a bakery and was very good at matching the icing/frosting colors to whatever was brought in to be matched to. Needed the cake to match your dress, invites, school colors, I was your girl. Perfect match every time! This one red color was very challenging and had drove me crazy for a couple of days. The white buttercream just would not let it get to a deep enough red. At one point I became very irritated and stuck the emulsion blender in it just to beat the crap out of it. I was about to just throw the whole thing in the trash out of anger when I noticed it had changed into the deep correct red during my fit.😂😂😂 I spent the next week playing with that blender and seeing how it changed colors for me. LoL It works with paints and resins too. ;) I still make cakes but for fun now instead of money. Wedding cakes are to much of a pain.
When you can make your icings taste good and not like dye. I value that. I'm amazed by that. I love that because really only worked around cheaper gel tinted buttercream. And the flavor just proves the makeup of it.
Anish Kapoor trying not to sue poor artists for using the color black is like a guy who needs to pee and is on the verge of pissing themselves and is in a natatorium being told not to pee.
I used to be OBSESSED with black food for some reason. I even tried making black ice cream when that was a trend (it came out horrible lol). This video may just bring back that obsession. 😅
It’s the same as normal cocoa just heavily alkalised to give it a darker colour. I’d suggest just asking your doctor if your specific medication can be affected by heavily alkalised food and drink as I know some pills can’t be taken with alkaline waters as it can do the opposite of charcoal and make you absorb too quickly. Though this could just be a case of medicine in the morning, not having the black cocoa til evening to avoid over absorption. Hope this helped!
Extra comment just for safety, highly acidic foods can also affect the way your body absorbs medicine and one of the main things to avoid is grapefruit so please make sure to look out for that on the box, the medicine information leaflets that come in the box or again, speak to your doctor! A lot of foods can just be limited in moderation to avoid interference but for some reason grapefruit is a massive risk when taken life saving or strong medicines.
@@lilnastyy1604 interesting. I always knew that drinking grapefruit juice with certain medications makes the effects come on really strong, but I didn't know why...
I am very glad to hear this is not a charcoal frosting. Dessert and charcoal should NEVER be mixed. Charcoal is used to treat POISONING… maybe that’s why my old school cafeteria put it in the soft serve…
I know its expensive, but I wish more bakers used recipes that didn’t include food dyes. I’m so allergic!! To see you can dye it black without dyes makes me happy 🤗🤗
I always recommend this channel's black buttercream or whatever if others ask for tips. ALWAYS Sulgarologie ❤ Love the way things are explained here. Always makes it easier for me to understand why things work or don't work for me 😊
Black cocoa powder is a dream baking ingredient for me. Ive never been able to find it right when I want to use it. Oreo's get their amazing and intense flavor from black cocoa powder too, which when I found out a few years back, my mind was blown.
You can also make black butter cream with black cocoa. I think it was @sugarology that came up with the technique. She makes a sugar syrup then mixes in frozen butter and it emulsifies. And then she gets it even darker with an immersion blender
The darkening process however makes the buttercream decrease in volume and causes more stiffness AKA makes it denser. Could make it a bit difficult to pipe as well.
I made black velvet cake with a black buttercream a little while back and I found that also using about 1 tbsp of food grade bamboo charcoal in the batter, and 1 tsp in the frosting--in addition to the usual black cocoa--made it really deep black as well
I've also head that you can add black dye to regular white buttercream, melt it and mix it up, let it cool, and re-whip it to also make a smooth black like this
I got married 14 years ago and we had black roses on our cake they tasted horrible I’m glad someone finally figured out how to make black icing taste good 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

three decades and counting, Oreo has stood the test of time. amazing flavour like no other.
Does this have charcoal? I'm so used to black foods having charcoal in them, which I can't have because it'll keep my medicine from working.
It’s the same as normal cocoa just heavily alkalised to give it a darker colour. I’d suggest just asking your doctor if your specific medication can be affected by heavily alkalised food and drink as I know some pills can’t be taken with alkaline waters as it can do the opposite of charcoal and make you absorb too quickly. Though this could just be a case of medicine in the morning, not having the black cocoa til evening to avoid over absorption.
Hope this helped!
Extra comment just for safety, highly acidic foods can also affect the way your body absorbs medicine and one of the main things to avoid is grapefruit so please make sure to look out for that on the box, the medicine information leaflets that come in the box or again, speak to your doctor!
A lot of foods can just be limited in moderation to avoid interference but for some reason grapefruit is a massive risk when taken life saving or strong medicines.
@@lilnastyy1604 interesting. I always knew that drinking grapefruit juice with certain medications makes the effects come on really strong, but I didn't know why...
This does not have charcoal from what I can tell! You'll have to go digging through the comments but she did post a link to the recipe.
Most black cocoa DOES contain activated charcoal
I am very glad to hear this is not a charcoal frosting. Dessert and charcoal should NEVER be mixed. Charcoal is used to treat POISONING… maybe that’s why my old school cafeteria put it in the soft serve…
Except that black cocoa contains activated charcoal
Information I did not need but appreciate receiving. Nice video. The dark smooth frosting is so pretty. 😁👍
That black cake is the most amazing cake I have ever seen!
i love when this video shows up in my feed. it's so genius and i remember I need to try this sometime
Love the dig at Anish. You had me literally laughing out loud
I know its expensive, but I wish more bakers used recipes that didn’t include food dyes. I’m so allergic!! To see you can dye it black without dyes makes me happy 🤗🤗
It's so amazing and kind to make something like this and share the recipe of it with people for free!
I always recommend this channel's black buttercream or whatever if others ask for tips. ALWAYS Sulgarologie ❤
Love the way things are explained here. Always makes it easier for me to understand why things work or don't work for me 😊
Wow 🤩 first time seeing a black cake! It’s INCREDIBLY AMAZING 🎊 🎉🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
That is a beautiful delicious looking frosting
The fact I can visay see the pore difference is amazing 👏 🙌
Black cocoa powder is a dream baking ingredient for me. Ive never been able to find it right when I want to use it. Oreo's get their amazing and intense flavor from black cocoa powder too, which when I found out a few years back, my mind was blown.
This looks beautiful!
Thats so cool, giving me flashbacks of a muffin with black frosting I had at a café that was the most amazing desert Ive ever tasted.
I can see the subtle difference. I like it ☺
The way the bowl looked like a black hole
Amazing
Food science is truly one of the most fascinating forms of science, and the most overlooked
That cake is BEAUTIFUL!!
Really cool, I'm a bread baker. This coco powder would go great in my marble rye, braided breads, dark rye, etc. Thank you for making this video.
I've just been coming back to this short over and over for some reason.
OMG, did anyone else actually feel their brain quiver when the frosting jiggled just a tiny bit? Massive visual ASMR frosting wiggles lol
This Mind-blowing to me and looks BEAUTIFUL 😍
You can also make black butter cream with black cocoa. I think it was @sugarology that came up with the technique. She makes a sugar syrup then mixes in frozen butter and it emulsifies. And then she gets it even darker with an immersion blender
The darkening process however makes the buttercream decrease in volume and causes more stiffness AKA makes it denser. Could make it a bit difficult to pipe as well.
You are a flipping culinary genius!!
This is the cake my almost 14 yr old asked for me to make him for his birthday Friday. Wish me luck. 🤞
Wow!! That is gorgeous.
holy cow this is awesome. goth cakes are gonna be lit this year
Wow 🖤 your knowledge has no bounds!! Love your channel so glad I stumbled on it!! ✨ hey from UK 😆 ✨
Beautiful simply beautiful
Thank you for the advice on the immersion blender
I’m loving the chemistry behind this😍❤️❤️
omg a black cake! i hope i can hire your talents some day
You just changed my baking game. Omg 😭 😲
Well you have now upped the game. I've watched so many bakers that don't like doing black butter cream
It's beautiful! I'm in love with this stunning black beauty butter cream. I wish I could have a black cake
It looks so beautiful and velvety
I made black velvet cake with a black buttercream a little while back and I found that also using about 1 tbsp of food grade bamboo charcoal in the batter, and 1 tsp in the frosting--in addition to the usual black cocoa--made it really deep black as well
I've also head that you can add black dye to regular white buttercream, melt it and mix it up, let it cool, and re-whip it to also make a smooth black like this
This is so cool, I want to make frosting in general 😅 so this is like god tier to me!
For someon who thinks Window glue for cars, looks really Tasty, this is perfect. Gona try this.
You are a genius and yes you should get a patent on it! Now! Especially now that you told the world how you did it!❤
How lovely, can't wait to use it
Thank you!❤
This was really cool and informative to watch. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I got married 14 years ago and we had black roses on our cake they tasted horrible I’m glad someone finally figured out how to make black icing taste good 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Omg! I bet you could make it matte with a very light dusting of the black cocoa powder too!
Wow it looks stunning!
I’ve been using syrups for a long time and it works wonders
I had to rewatch this a few times to see the difference 👀🍿... I also just enjoyed watching it 😋. I'm definitely trying this ❤️
Damn, the genius and innovation 😮Girl, you’re a legend!
I love your scientific approach to baking 😍😍
This is the best video I’ve ever seen and now I need to make this frosting immediately.
THE BAKERS' HOLY GRAIL HAS BEEN FOUND!
