Google Cloud engineers created a machine learning model to combine hundreds of existing recipes with insights from Google Search Trends. Developer Sara Robinson used a combination of chopped and whole Maltese in the model’s AI-optimized cake and biscuit recipes to create a new dessert.
The recipe for Maltesers AI Cakes (4d6172730a), which is in binary coded values is hexadecimal for Mars, contains both a cake and a biscuit. The treat is topped with a marmite-infused buttercream frosting after Google Search Trends found that one of the most frequently searched questions about « sweet and salty » lately is « Is Marmite sweet or savory? » Was.
Sawkins went the nostalgic way and gave a soy sauce to an old recipe handed down from his mother. His Maltesers Entremets have a liquid caramel center, contain malted milk powder, rich mousse and a crispy base.

Robinson, Senior Developer Advocate at Google Cloud, said, « AI is a powerful tool and I love talking about fun new things In this case, it might even inspire other amateur bakers to develop their own creations.
« I decided to use Google Cloud AI to create a model that could form the basis for a new recipe with Maltese . Baking is both an art and a science: it requires a balance of ingredients sprinkled with some magic. AI is the foundation, and human creativity combined with technology made this project shine. «
