【Vacuum Forming Application】Even a beginner can make desserts? Unlock shaped cakes in seconds!！
Don't be afraid, baking novices! Shaped cakes are "unlocked" in seconds! Vacuum forming and laser processing are super powerful and designated by the food industry, used in dessert development. The more you know, the more powerful you become. See the combination of these two technologies now!
We have previously introduced many vacuum forming techniques applied in the food industry, from French pastry chefs (click here), Italian chocolate factories (click here), to British artisanal dessert shops (click here). These are just the tip of the iceberg. As industrial-grade technology enters daily life, now you only need to learn the technical principles and use your creativity to develop more production methods.

In the dessert world, the most common application of vacuum forming involves first thermoforming shaped objects, then demolding to create food molds, and finally pouring various ingredients to easily design customized and versatile desserts!
Matt Adlard, a self-taught British pastry and dessert designer, researches various innovative techniques for making pastries, hoping to make baking more accessible! He therefore founded the "Bake it Better" teaching platform, dedicated to creating a relaxed learning environment that allows more dessert enthusiasts to unleash their creativity while also learning new technical knowledge.
Matt designed a chocolate treasure chest cake, which primarily features a key and lock-shaped appearance. To complete the cake body's filling, you can use laser cutting technology. After measuring the cake size, design the desired lock shape in the computer, then use a laser cutter to cut transparent material sheets according to the designed path to create the lock template for the cake. This way, you can achieve the same effect as Matt's creation.
(You can choose to use the FLUX series laser cutters, with their dedicated editing software Beam Studio, to accurately cut desired shapes by previewing the material position through the built-in camera.)
(Use FormBox vacuum forming material sheets, which are food-safe certified and can be confidently used in the dessert, culinary, and other food industries.)
Spread a layer of chocolate ganache on the template, and after it solidifies, remove it, and a customized shaped lock is complete! The editor, seeing this, thought of another extended application: using the same method, you can also create various shaped cake dusting stencils according to your preference. Sprinkle with chocolate, matcha, or brown sugar powder to decorate your creative desserts as you wish.
Finally, Matt placed the key into the FormBox vacuum forming machine, paired with vacuum forming material sheets, and pressed for 3 seconds to mold the object's shape. Using the resulting key mold after demolding, he poured in chocolate ganache to complete the final part of the cake.
Using industrial-grade desktop equipment, the compact size of the machines allows you to create products at home or in your studio, from design and development to idea testing and even blister packaging, building your own production line!
