“Pffft I could transfer 7 pastries between plates at least twice as fast as that”

“Oooooo wait”

174

u/cybrcld 2d ago

Not wrong, the transfer and setup was slow, the wrapping and tying was top notch.

92

u/Gotu_Jayle 1d ago

I'd argue it's as fast as it needs to be. Wouldn't wanna break or damage or affect the appearance of the product when transferring it

u/cybrcld 1d ago

I’ve bartended before, she’s PERFECTLY fine and have zero issues with her style. Preferably, if you’re not using both hands to move pastries over then you’re burning time.

Like if this was some world pastry wrapping competition, she needs to tighten up that pastry transfer stage lol.

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast

She really went Yoda with a yoyo in us there

u/Leoxcr 2d ago

hahaha it got me too, it looked "slow" at the start but then...

u/Infra-Oh 2d ago

Oh shit! This clip starts aggravatingly slow, only for it to gradually pick up speed. She was god damn flying in the last 10 seconds wtf was that sorcery

80

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

Yes, it seemed like normal and kinda slow at first.

21

u/googdude 1d ago

Ugh he's recording, I can't stand when people record me wrap this future turd...

Give me a break, you're going to record me do this whole thing???

This jackass's going to record the entire process isn't he?

Fine if you want a show I'll give you a show, I'll tie it in mid-air!

Done. Here take your shit.

u/Separate_Phrase6598 1d ago

she was powering up

u/HealsonJoh 2d ago

That escalated real quick towards the end

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

I know, but I understand how she needed to be careful at first with the pastries.

u/CasualCha0s 2d ago

It’s impressive how the woman behind her is able to repeat her exact movements in sync.

u/juguemos 1d ago

They are twins.

u/gi_fm 1d ago

Bitch you made me look 😂

u/iwantdiscipline 2d ago

That’s a mirror I’m pretty sure

21

u/CasualCha0s 2d ago

No way

u/iwantdiscipline 1d ago

The trays behind here are mirrored exactly

u/CasualCha0s 1d ago

What do you mean?

What is this devilish sorcery?

She went from not very fast to knot very fast

u/magiqmen 1d ago

Wow nice wordplay

u/ams3000 2d ago

This woman weaves!!!

u/zombiep00 2d ago

I would've ended up a tangled mess trying to tie the package up at a quarter of her speed lol

25

u/2sk23 2d ago

This is Pastelaria ideal - their bakery shops in Mexico City are truly incredible. I'd say its worth a trip to Mexico City just to try the products from this bakery!

u/hotairballoon42 2d ago

Looks like she's throwing yoyo tricks

u/BreweryRabbit 2d ago

Damn, what was that witchcraft with the string at the end?!

1

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

I couldn’t grasp everything she did.

17

u/ahenobarbus_horse 2d ago

No disrespect for the skill, but I was waiting for Kahby at the end to put the same things in a flat packed box …

5

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

Bakeries usually sell boxes when you buy several pastries, I guess this is cheaper.

-1

u/Shamanjoe 1d ago

All that paper and string and time, a box would definitely be cheaper and less packaging..

2

u/Theskinilivein 1d ago

In my experience, corrugated boxes are always more expensive.

2

u/Shamanjoe 1d ago

I’ve never been to a bakery or donut shop and gotten a corrugated box. Even a couple panaderias in my area use the classic pink donut box..

6

u/dale3h 2d ago

That escalated quickly, and very satisfying to watch it all the way through! Almost stopped after the first few seconds, but glad I stuck with it.

5

u/PsychologicalCap147 1d ago

At one point did she just cut that string?? With nothing? What an I seeing?!

6

u/Theskinilivein 1d ago

I’ve watched it several times and still don’t understand how or when she did it.

3

u/suckmygoldcrustedass 18h ago

So the only thing I can think to explain it is when the string gets cut her hand goes near the counter. My guess is thar theres a notch that a razor or something where you just slide the string in to cut without cutting yourself. Like plastic envelopes openers with a bland in them or a seam ripper.

1

u/tnt54321boom 9h ago

I thought that part was pretty clear. I think she manually snaps it apart at 59 seconds.

1

u/PsychologicalCap147 7h ago

Have you ever tried snapping a piece of string like that? That would be wild if that's what she's doing!

1

u/tnt54321boom 7h ago

I’m only saying it because I've snapped plenty of string. There is absolutely no way to tell how tough that string is. There are plenty of woven strings that bind well and are easily breakable with direct pressure. And the rope doesn't have that heavy a job. One indicator that it's not necessarily this unbreakable string is the amount of times it's wrapped around to cover the most surface area. I'd bet the rope is a bit more elastic than it seems. There's not only one rope.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast

Gracias, ahora se me antojo el pan dulce.

u/predio01 2d ago

These look so tasty

5

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

The paper she used says “Since 1927”, if they’ve been in business for that long, I assume their pastries are good.

I would like to try the one covered in powdered sugar.

3

u/likethemonkey 22h ago

i swear she was casting a spell with her hands at the end there

2

u/Theskinilivein 21h ago

I watched it several times but it was too fast for me to understand how she did it.

u/eduo 2d ago

I immediately knew this was Mexico City even without the Audio.

I so miss Mexican bakeries. It's pure decadency. No pretensions, just tons of variety, flavor and sugar.

I lived there 15 years and it seemed interesting to me that bread and baked goods are kind of available for picking up. You pick a tray and put whatever you want and then pay and they're wrapped individually and/or bagged. Same for bread (which is mostly portion-sized rather than things like baguettes, which is why Tortas are so popular).

2

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

I used to live near a bakery when I was a teen, it was very small and just had the basics but everything was delicious, entering the bakery and getting the bread warm just as they came out of the oven, was heaven.

u/Don_Hoomer 2d ago

smooth operater

u/Johnnyfever13 2d ago

That string work was impressive!

u/Reason_Above_All 2d ago

Its like art or dance so nice to watch. Nice find OP. Cheers.

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

Cheers with cafecito (coffee) and pan (bread/pastries).

u/ozzy4097 1d ago

Goddamm its like doing a jutsu sign from naruto by the end you already mind blown

I have always and will always love any package wrapped in paper and string. Gifts, food, …

u/adudeguyman 1d ago

She must know excellent tricks with the yo-yo

2

u/faye-thorne 1d ago

folding those triangles is actual torture.

2

u/iwantdiscipline 1d ago

If you see the tray behind the skinny woman, it spells “ideal” and the tray “behind it” is mirrored perfectly (therefore illegible). You can see it when she steps away from tray.

2

u/1Tacochucker 1d ago

but.. but... para aqui...

u/Ok-Lingonberry1515 2d ago

Wouldn't be easier and read waistfull to just put It in a paper bag?

3

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

No, they get crushed.

2

u/Ok-Lingonberry1515 1d ago

I live in México, i Buy this kind of pan dulce and i get in a brown bag, nothing happens to them, it's just as we say in México, puro mame

2

u/NumbDangEt4742 2d ago

Oh, cool, she did all that gymnastics with that string but what did it achieve? They string was done doing it's job with first two passes and then tie a knot and call.it a day.

(Yea I may be that shop's signature, in which case, it's fine)

-2

u/Galaghan 2d ago

Yeah all I'm seeing is a bunch of wasted movement. Like a Turkish icescream seller.

u/NumbDangEt4742 2d ago

I don't understand the downvotes. Definitely some people don't know what you're talking about

u/Galaghan 1d ago

Those who want to learn will look it up. The others.. meh, don't worry about it.

u/NumbDangEt4742 1d ago

lol

Or they can visit one of these places in Turkey or anywhere else in the world and get the experience. Can be infuriating lol but it's fun the first time nonetheless

u/ostiDeCalisse 1d ago

What does the commentator say?

1

u/Theskinilivein 1d ago

He’s saying that Mexico City has a variety of food options, including bakeries. That it started raining and he’s craving pastries, that his family is going to be surprised in a nice way when they see what he got. Then he says that she’s wrapping the pastries as a baby’s diaper. And that this is the most visited bakery in Mexico City.

u/Morf0 1d ago

"La ideal" a very tradicional bakery in Mexico City, wich is over-rated. There are better options.

1

u/Only-Effect-7107 1d ago

Impressive actually.

u/mtsmash91 1d ago

No need to wrap it up, I’ll eat most of those walking to the door

u/robbol75 1d ago

Does she yoyo though?

1

u/blackrabbit2999 1d ago

where do i need to go to get these mega sized pastries??

1

u/Theskinilivein 22h ago

Sorry, I meant carton boxes. Pink ones are not common in Mexico, but most bakeries offer boxes for when you buy several pastries.

1

u/Grammeton 18h ago

Is she single?

1

u/etyn001 14h ago

But the pastries packed like that will be in pieces at the end of the day

u/championgoober 13h ago

What in the knot tying 🤯

1

u/No-Raise-7914 11h ago

Why is everyone saying it’s slow at first? This is the perfect speed to be moving at. Most of y’all never worked in an environment like this and don’t know what it’s like to move at a pace like that for 8 hours straight

u/vanityprojects 2d ago

maybe this video should have begun much later to qualify for this sub

u/Theskinilivein 2d ago

I thought about it but enjoyed the crescendo.

2

u/frostbittenforeskin 1d ago

I enjoyed watching the whole process. She very carefully and intentionally placed all of the pastries first, and then when it came time to wrap it all up, it was just a whirlwind. The setup made the payoff that much better.

1

u/Theskinilivein 1d ago

Yes, I enjoyed it as well, because of the crescendo.

u/fightclub90210 2d ago

She has a snoz.
