洛杉磯的一位面包師制作了一款漂亮的蛋糕，看起來就像花哨的波斯地毯

There are a handful of things that make life complete. And though they vary from person to person, I think it’s safe to say that cake would make it into everyone’s list.

讓生活變得完整的事情屈指可數(shù)。雖然每個(gè)人的選擇都不一樣，但我認(rèn)為蛋糕應(yīng)該是每個(gè)人的選擇。

Now, what if I told you that cakes nowadays come in all shapes and sizes? And sometimes they come in the shapes that people never expect them to be in? For instance, in the shape of a masterful Persian rug? Oh, don’t worry, it still looks delicious.

現(xiàn)在，如果我告訴你，現(xiàn)在的蛋糕有各種形狀和大小?有時(shí)候，它們會(huì)以人們從未想過的形式出現(xiàn)?比方說，那是一塊波斯地毯的式樣?哦，別擔(dān)心，它看起來還是很好吃。

Cakes nowadays can look like anything, so why not also make them look like a carpet?

現(xiàn)在的蛋糕可以看起來像任何東西，那么為什么不讓它們看起來像地毯呢?

So, designer and baker Alana Jones-Mann from Los Angeles, California does shag rug-inspired cakes, among many other stunning, colorful ones. She has a fair few of them already made and posted on her Instagram.

因此，來自加州洛杉磯的設(shè)計(jì)師兼面包師阿拉娜·瓊斯-曼制作了以粗毯為靈感的蛋糕，還有許多令人驚艷、色彩斑斕的蛋糕。她已經(jīng)制作了不少，并在Instagram上發(fā)布。

One of her more recent attempts at a cake, however, was of a literal Persian rug. It might not have been as shaggy as most of her other creations, but it most certainly is reminiscent of a traditional rug.

然而，她最近做的蛋糕中，有一塊是真正的波斯地毯。它可能不像她的其他作品那樣蓬松，但它肯定會(huì)讓人想起傳統(tǒng)的地毯。

For this particular creation, Alana worked on a special story with Elle Decor, a design magazine, for their October issue. She baked 8 cakes that were based on this season’s best rugs, as chosen by the magazine.

為了這一特別的創(chuàng)作，阿拉娜為設(shè)計(jì)雜志《Elle Decor》的十月號(hào)寫了一篇特別的故事。她根據(jù)雜志選出的本季最佳地毯制作了8個(gè)蛋糕。

In particular, the cake was inspired by an antique Persian carpet by Mansour, a purveyor of antique rugs and tapestries.

特別值得一提的是，這款蛋糕的靈感來自曼蘇爾的一條古董波斯地毯，曼蘇爾是一家古董地毯和掛毯供應(yīng)商。

“Each individually piped dot of buttercream was kept low and compact to reflect the pile—not the least time-consuming decorating technique,” elaborated Alana in her Instagram post.

阿拉娜在她的Instagram帖子中解釋道:“每個(gè)分開的乳脂點(diǎn)都是低而緊湊的，以反映堆積的效果——這可不是最省事的裝飾技術(shù)。”

Instead of the shaggy aesthetic that most of her cakes have, this one is done using a technique called dot piping. As seen in the photos, the cake is made of tiny dots that were individually squeezed out, or “piped”, out of a cake decorating bag to create an image of a Persian rug. The insides are your typical cake filling—the oh-so delicious sponge covered with creamy paste.

與她大多數(shù)蛋糕的蓬松美學(xué)不同，這一款蛋糕使用了一種叫做點(diǎn)線的技術(shù)。從照片中可以看出，蛋糕是由一個(gè)個(gè)小點(diǎn)從蛋糕裝飾袋中擠出來的，或者說是“管狀”，形成了波斯地毯的形象。里面是典型的蛋糕餡料——覆蓋著奶油糊狀物的美味海綿蛋糕。

For those unaware of Persian rugs, these are traditional Iranian carpets made of wool, cotton, and sometimes silk. It is a heavy piece of textile that usually uses vibrant colors made for a variety of utilitarian and symbolic purposes and produced in Iran, which is historically known as Persia. Hence, Persian carpets.

對(duì)于那些不知道波斯地毯的人來說，這些是傳統(tǒng)的伊朗地毯，由羊毛、棉花，有時(shí)還有絲綢制成。它是一種厚重的紡織品，通常使用鮮艷的顏色，用于各種實(shí)用和象征目的，產(chǎn)于伊朗，歷史上稱為波斯，因此叫波斯地毯。

It’s made using a decorative technique called dot piping—putting tiny individual dots to make a bigger picture

它是用一種叫做點(diǎn)管的裝飾技術(shù)制作的——把單個(gè)的小點(diǎn)放在一個(gè)更大的圖片上
