A 3D showcase comparing three honey-based desserts — Levantine baklava, Eastern European honey cake (medovik) and Middle Eastern / South Asian halva — and how honey ratio, layering and toppings shape their look and texture.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each dessert is built from a different structural principle: stacked crisp phyllo soaked in syrup, alternating sponge-and-cream discs, or a dense bound semolina/tahini block — honey ratio changes gloss, drip and sweetness for all three.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a dessert, then drag the honey ratio, layer count and nut density sliders to rebuild the model live. Watch the sweetness index, texture description and calorie estimate update, then orbit around the plate.

💡 Did You Know?

Medovik ("honey cake") was reportedly created for a 19th-century Russian empress who disliked the smell of honey — the sponge layers hide it while the honey still sweetens every bite.
