Recipes travel. They move across borders, generations, and kitchens. Written on paper, remembered by hand, or shared at the table, they form a kind of intangible, mobile cultural heritage.
From raw material to mold, to tool, and finally to cake, we follow a continuous chain of transformation.
We develop positive molds using both machine based and hand crafted subtractive techniques such as turning, milling, and related processes.
In the second step, the molds meet metal and the expertise of a metal-spinning company, transforming the positive form into a negative tool designed to shape dough. At the final stage of the seminar, the molds return to where they belong: the oven. We bake with what we have built. During the last course, we focus on presenting, tasting, and documenting the results.
Vienna’s coffeehouse and pastry culture provides the cultural backdrop for the project. The results will be presented during the Vienna Design Week, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year. To mark the occasion we will host a birthday party.
