As soon as I saw the viral Tiktok by @froginahatgirl, I knew I had to make a video on it! By total coincidence, I ended up ordering two different croissant lamps. This made comparing the two much easier and also how obvious it was that one lamp was a real croissant dunked in resin. I decided to go further and test the lamp for bacteria and mould. The results were quite impressive as it didn't have any traces of either. However this isn't that surprising as mould only tends to form on bread products with a high water content. Croissants are dry so they tend to go stale instead of going mouldy. Resin is also a powerful preservative so that probably prevented many areas of the bread from growing bacteria before it dried up.

"Is The Temu Croissant Lamp Safe To Eat?"
counter question; why would you want to eat a lamp you bought off of Temu
That part. I mean, why would you want to eat *any* lamp. Wherever it's from, it'll contain electronics. Pretty sure those aren't ever edible.
Why would you want to eat a lamp lol😅😅😅😅😅😅
It is obviously not edible idk where it was made but it's old, covered in some resin and it has some light inside so. I'm gonna watch the video anyways
Literally clicked just to say the videos clickbait 😭😭theres NO way anyone thinks eating a lamp is a good thing to do. but also. people are stupid (also hi fellow person stuck at home, i see you)
I just wanna say ur fantroll looks so cool 🎉❤❤
i think eating resin contaminated croissant is probably the bigger risk factor here lol
I can't believe she ate it 😭
did you even watch the video? smh
@@fractionofstuff Hardened epoxy resin, especially cheap stuff like the one used in the creation of this Temu croissant lamp in China, is not safe to eat at all and it is toxic. Some more expensive types of resin used in the manufacturing of cutlery, could be considered safe for food when hardened fully.
💀
@@tarek12mignothing in china is safe to eat tbh.
This reminds me of a very old controversy in a niche fashion community, where someone was making headdresses with VERY realistic cookies. One day, someone who'd bought one accidentally broke theirs, and crumbs came out. It turns out the artist was, indeed, preserving real cookies in resin. They had to delete their whole etsy store after that came out. The more things change, the more they stay the same!
I think I remember that story!!! When I first started TH-cam, loads of people were obsessed with resin tutorials and there was a trend of covering real food to see how long you can preserve it. This went against the ethos of the deco-den community which was how to create the most realistic food items possible using clay, silicone and non-edible materials. I was obviously in the second camp and I recall the drama between deco den crafters vs resin artists 😂
I LITERALLY JUST LEFT A COMMENT ABOUT THIS HOLY GUAC AND MOLE
I remember this from forever ago and maaaaan the old internet was a lawless place. The new internet is Marshall law I guess but still.
Wild wild wild
Yeah, I remember Dearie. They had a poor non apology on their fb after the fact
why would that be controversial?
Wait, when? Who? What? Why?!
When it was mentioned that this was a knock off of a luxury lamp I thought the luxury one was going to be some hyper realistic artist. But no, its still bread. I assume and hope the expensive one is properly resin infused, but I wouldn’t ever risk buying something like this tbh.
It's a very dumb product. The idea that resin is the only thing you can do with old bread instead of, you know, composting it is absurd
Yeah the original artist doesn't quite use old stale bread; more like unsold leftovers from the day thus still decently fresh. She actually empties out all the breads and pastries that she buys before treating the "shells". The "fillings" are eaten and/or reused in her cooking/baking and not wasted - it's explained on her IG.
Still not sure I'd trust a lamp like that to last for a long time though.
@@offthesidelinesYeah. Even with all that, watching Evan and katelyn try to preserve food in resin over the years has made me wary. I can't imagine this is sustainable
@@mmmbepis8643 REALL all i could think ab was Evan and Katelyn
@@mmmbepis8643 lol they crossed my mind too, especially with the very recent food-in-resin video they released (haven't watched it yet).
People have this bizarre idea that resin will preserve food indefinitely and it will not PERIOD. The only way you can even get it to mostly preserve it is to throughly dry the item first snd even then it will still slowly change overtime.
Its just a waste of food and resin. Food can be composted and the idea we need to do this to "save food that would otherwise be wasted" is absurd.
perido
@@RSCB peroid
It can create a seal and prevent stuff getting inside but that does not help much if the food is sealed with live microbes inside and various chemical reactions will still happen, even without microbes, that can degrade the food in some way over time. I really don't understand the purpose of sealing food in resin regardless but i suppose if you want to turn food into a decoration then it somewhat works and some food could probably last many years in resin even if not forever.
@@swain-Ix1tv peirod
You make a valid point. I think it's cool, but I also believe more things should be made to order. People would be more conscious of their purchases and wouldn't waste as much if things weren't mass produced and stored for buyers that don't yet exist.
The resin makes it look so scrumptious like a glazed donut 😭
Yes! Imagine they made a real croissant dipped in a sugar shell 🥹
Like tanghulu croissant lolol
theres this resturant called cheddars thats croissants look like this and taste amazing; getting hungry thinking about it 😣
@MauveMimi the worst part of the Cheddar's croissants is that only the first two are free. Those damn things are delicious.
@@maqaroonoh man a honey encrusted croissant sounds so good
I know temu isn't known for its quality / thought put into products, but the ones made of real croissants being pulled now makes it seem like they never thought anyone would find out that there's real bread in there. Let alone that some person on the internet wouldn't try to eat some of their mass-produced lamp.
I think they really weren't expecting someone to crack their lamp open and eat it. It was hilarious how quickly all the listings disappeared after the video went viral (would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the factory when that happened)
@@maqaroon "Um... sir? Someone on Tiktok took apart the lamp and found out it's a real crossaint..." "What?!" "Yeah... and they ate it..." "WHAT?! Everyone, put DOWN the crossaints! We're getting out of here!!!"
@@maqaroon I didn’t even even know you can mass produce a resin covered item much less one that is made out of food but the lamp is that pretty cool probably going to pick up the real lamp at the website you recommended at the beginning of the video
$100 for a bread covered with resin. Got people stupid enough to buy such ridiculous product ever?
Yes, but that doesn’t include me or anyone I know 😂
Well, there are people that spend thousands on fabrics covered with paints.
It’s the definition of “disposable income” 😂
If they got the dough to throw away, they’ll indulge in such ways, but that’s far from your average person these days
@Ecktor Yeah, she definitely revealed her privilege level by saying it was "worth the price" 🙄
I mean it’s in pounds so I don’t think it would be 100 in usd (unless ur also in Europe)
Real bread as a lamp sounds like a fire hazard
Those are low power LEDs running off 3 AA batteries. They produce very little heat. Of course if you shoved an incandescent bulb inside of this thing then it would be a different story
@@Sheevlord what about that zevo device you put in the wall that’s supposed to stay there 24/7?
@@Jankb0t3k0 its small enough that convection is enough to keep it cool
1:02 Sorry but this is false. She doesn’t use bread that would be otherwise thrown away, she uses freshly baked bread. This is from the Yukiko Morita websites q&a section;
‘Q How are Pampshades made?
A Each Pampshade begins by baking the bread to exact specifications. We then carefully cut through the crust and hollow out the inside. Once satisfied with the crust's translucency, we coat the bread with a special protective finish, assemble it, and attach the electronic components.’
Ah thanks for the correction! It's weird because I was convinced I read an article someplace that it was an art piece about preserving bread so they use older bakery goods. Personally that would have been somewhat better for PR as many cultures have issues about wilfully destroying fresh food 😬
@@maqaroon She uses unsold bread for her "sliced" resin paperweight collection, so that might have been where you saw it.
@@maqaroon Absolutly! The reason I was interested in going to the site is because of what you said and I was pretty disappointed to read fresh food is made for this.
nah, i prefer fresh ones, only usa probably care about using old bread for art.
@@qwertyrewtywyterty I mean anyone who cares about food insecurity and food waste should care if it’s fresh or a day old bakery stock. It’s not like it needs to be fresh to be a lamp.
I do wonder about the longevity of such an item, honestly
I actually think food items can be preserved in resin almost indefinitely. There were people in the comments saying their grandparents made resin bread DIYs decades ago and they're still fine
@@maqaroon they have to be hardcore dried first and mice will still chew them up if they get near them. Organic material will always change slowly when encased in resin because it is still a poris material even if only microscopically.
@@maqaroon idk, videos by evan and katelyn have taught me that every food item in resin eventually goes terribly bad. but what do i know hahah
@@E5va that usually happens when there's fluid left in them
@@flothedutchie1622 yeah but i doubt the perfect dehydration can happen during manufacturing for selling on temu
This is an unhinged product. x.x
I think it's actually pretty smart imo. It's way more cost effective than making a fake realistic croissant, and I could see tourist bakeries in France have these around. The real unhinged products are the people wanting to eat these.
@@shame2189 How can it be ensured that it won't spoil from the inside when it's encased in resin?
It can't be ensured to not spoil, especially in a humid environment... but maybe some deadly chemicals could preserve it before its coated in resin 😂
Also bread can stay in shape forever if it's dry enough, like the videos of old hamburger that people find in their home haha
@@shame2189 Not that smart if ppl are closing up their shops after getting called out. Plus as the lady in the tiktok said, her lamp was covered in ants. Sounds to me like an infestation waiting to happen.
It's still crazy to me that they were using a real croissant 😂 I'm a little impressed if not mortified
Aint no way they just coated a fucking croissant with resin and sold it as a lamp lol
watch the video
there's actual effort put into the things
Honestly I’d be worried about other industrial contaminants.
Also, I wonder if they put a base layer of resin down on top of the croissant to strengthen it, then hollowed out the inside?
Good point!! That makes a lot more sense as the top layer is almost paper thin.
Idk if anyone is aware, but something similar happened in the EGL (J-fashion) community forever ago. Someone was selling biscuit shaped jewelry and a buyer noticed crumbs after dropping it. Come to find out that it WAS a real biscuit.
It can’t be safe or sanitary so for the love of French baked goods, don’t do this. Begging pleading crying
Reminds me of something even and katlyn would do
lol I was just thinking of their pumpkin experiments! Actually those videos are how I found their channel
Totally
I CANNOT wait until they upload a video too 😂 you already know they're actively working on it
resin time
@@muin_ doo doo doo doo resin time
I don't understand why they would do that tho
Probobly a lot of left overs everyday and they need to make money somehow.
Idk I see it and see bugs gross yuckie bacteria and also food waste
Probably to make it real, but it is real so idk.
I think the food wastage theme behind Morita’s original pastry lamps is cool.
Lazy!
don't ever buy no croissant from Temu bro 😭
Don’t but anything you’re going to ingest online period 💀
a hundred dollars for a pastry dumped into resin wtf
Rich people will buy anythnig
@@npcimknot958*weebs*
“What’s the matter, babe? You haven’t touched your croissamp.”
“Is The Temu Croissant Lamp Safe To Eat?” is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard
I’m honestly so impressed they were selling real croissant lamps, like, it’s crazy that someone saw the OG person who did this and was like, oh hell yeah, let’s sell tf outta THAT!
Temu is just shipping out biohazards now, I swear to god. 😭
why would anything from temu be safe to eat😔😔
Someone call Evan and Kate, Temu found a way of preserving the pumpkin
To be fair, pumpkin is actually really prone to spoilage. For example, pumpkin is very difficult to can safely due to its density and how spoilage bacteria can get that deep. Bread products would be significantly easier to dry out, and it’s probably preferable here, whereas a dried pumpkin wouldn’t make a good jack o lantern.
Croissant lamp being real bread will never not be really fucking funny to me.
maqaroon, i have watched you since the small needle felting videos years ago, to the squishie videos, to the homemade plushies videos, when i was 15/16, this is the most unhinged thing I have ever seen from you, please keep it up!
I bet they poured the resin on the outside, let it cure and then hollowed put the inside. Would make it a lot easier to work with.
The baker who spent all their time baking the croissant and seeing it get used to make a lamp: 🙁
To be fair most bakery products are produced in large quantities so it doesn't really matter...
@@remilililia i know but the concept of a man selling a croissant he made and it being turned into a lamp is funny
Or
"......what the H-????"
As a chef....I wouldn't even be mad lol. I'd be ecstatic it isn't getting thrown away after a week lol....lots of health code violations ofc.
As long as they get a lot of money...
With how long and tedious it is to make a croissant compared to just using a regular plastic mold, this is genuinely surprising to me
I'm a lolita and there once was a taobao brand that made a cookie biscuit jsk. The little barette was literally a biscuit that they painted with resin! If you're not careful you can snap it in half and it'll crumb
Youre a WHAT
@@IbrndUSA look it up, whatever youre thinking isnt what it means. its a fashion japanese subculture
@@IbrndUSAlolita style!
1:04 jesus christ €110?? no wonder temu came to power
4:35 interesting, i have never seen that technique been used once in all my time at university
I’ve always seen it or done it as a side to side motion that covers the whole area.
There's no way chemicals and germs wouldn’t have leeched into that bread, and why would you want to buy one of these, let alone eat it? I feel old. I don't understand why the latest trendy things are trendy.
don’t worry lol i’m a teenager and i don’t get it either.
Im a gen aptha i dont get it😭@@g4uzy
Same here, people are going beserk i swear
No one bought it to eat it, and the person who first bought it assumed it was a fake croissant and just decor for a lamp? Until it arrived and realised it was real. This video is just an experiment to hypothesise if you did eat it would it be bad, people aren't actually buying it to eat, and it isn't really a trend. It was just someone ordered something assuming it was just decor only to discover it was a real croissant covered in resin.
I came into this video expecting it to be very simple, but I was impressed when you started running tests. Then VERY impressed when it suddenly turned into arts and crafts.
I think the original croissant lamp was layered with resin before they pull out all of its gut. so the walls can be thin while also easy to work with at the same time.
3:20 tried smelling my phone...
Throughout the video I wanted you to crush the Temu croissant just like the original video. Idk why but I find it so satisfying
If I'm honest I'm impressed. When I first saw the tiktok I was in disbelief.. How and why would they do that.. But it actually requires precision and talent to make them as good as they look. And I have respect for that! The only thing is I wouldn't want ants in my home 😬 pretty sure that happens when the resin didnt fully cover all areas.
Maybe doing the outside first makes cutting the croissant easier and the doing the inside as a second step of the resin process.
5:33 new fear unlocked
I'm now wondering if you could give the cheap lamp a glow-up (with paint or pastels plus a top coat) so that people are not relying on bread as their lighting source
when i saw the title i was very confused 😂
I think using old stale bread, and even drying it further, is key for this process.
i watched this video before bed and when i fell asleep i had the most delicous dream i was eating these croissant lamps except they were covered in crunchy sugar
My question is... Why would you eat a lamp 😭✋🏻
Midnight munchies?
This video feels like some stuff they show on tv when you waking from nap and you just watching this and then it seems to you it was a dream 💀
who in their right mind would eat a resin real croissant, like resin is toxic
natural selection at work
20$ is 20$
This is the kinda unhinged stuff I live for
*Common sense left the chat.*
If it's not sold specifically as a food item don't consume it, even if it does look convincing enough to look like food. Chances aren't has tons of chemicals in it or plastic or resin.
People are kinda crazy. If the bread is dry or about to go bad, before it molds, just give it to birds. It's junk food for birds, but, it's still food and birds don't mind if it's dry. lol It's absolutely nuts that something like this is able to be sold as a lamp no matter the price tag. Maybe it wont mold, but I dunno the thought of having basically mummified food as decoration is still weird. If I were to do it, I'd make a 3D scan of real bread, 3D print it and paint it. It should look realistic enough with the right shading.
don't give it to birds!! It's not just junk food, it actually can kill them because they fill up on it when they can't actually get any nutrients from it, and they can end up starving to death. It'd be like eating styrofoam for us. There's tons of things you can do with stale bread though! Bread pudding and french toast were originally intended to reuse stale bread, and even just leaving it to compost and rot is better than covering it with plastic
Do not feed any sort of bread to any type of bird, it’s extremely bad for them. If you are interested in feeding birds, oats, seeds, or barley are much better alternatives. If your bread is old, your bread is old, don’t feed it to animals that can struggle to digest it & fills them up fast leading them to be unable to eat their proper diet. Throw it out or eat it before it goes bad.
As someone who bought one, it's cute and there are people who like cute things, there is no much more to it. Not 100$ cute though, jesus lol
It is not healthy to birds at all
@@mayadoodles7906
there's other uses for older bread. garlic bread, bread pudding, stuffing, croutons, etc. sometimes you can reheat it in an oven for a few minute, or microwave for a few seconds, with a little water to refresh it.
7:20 German jumpscare
2:15 if hollow, it’s impossible they were injection molded. More likely blow molded.
I own this, i got it from aliexpress in 2021. I didn't know it's like "a thing" lmaooo it's sitting on my nightstand and has been for years... i love this stupid lamp
Despite the aliexpress one being different in your video, i have the "amazon" one that i did and you just blew my mind i have fucking food in my nightstand helppp
I'd probably have covered the outside and then cored the inside after the outside was thick enough, that way you don't have to worry about it sagging or breaking and coring it will be easier
Step 1: Get a normal lamp, like a normal person.
People like lamps with design
This must be the most intresting mass production product I have ever come across
her voice literally makes this asmr
but what do you need a croissant lamp for .-.
as a microbiology nerd, i would've loved to see the bacteria colonies put under the microscope and to do a comparison based off that
but other than that this was a very informative and interesting video! thank you for doing this ❤️
i wad actually drawing someone holding a croissant while having this on audio! xD
honestly temu delivered exactly what they ordered. A legit copy of the original design using a real crosaint. Now that's real commitment
i think you would have a lot more success if you was to use resin before cutting the hole in the croissant that way the entire out side of the croissant is hard while the inside is still soft and fluffy meaning you could literally scoop it as if it was a pumpkin
would eat no matter what
forbidden midnight munchies
@@maqaroonfrfr
I like that you put it back together and have kept it. It's a cool item. Surprised you could make it with real food. I wonder what it looks like after 20 years?
Buying it from the artist is too far out of my price range sadly. I already have resin...so I'll just make my own thanks XD Love the tutorial.
I remember seeing those lamps by the original designer at a Maison & Objet show (furniture and art exhibition in Paris) i went to years back for a business trip.
This is hilarious 😂 we even got a DIY tutorial at the end
I am watching how to make croissant lamp at 2:00AM
"it's worth the price tag!"
Yeah... No.
That one uncovered spot in the interior of the 2nd one would give me so much anxiety 😅
who would want a croissant as a lamp ??? i mean ... why ? how ?
The resin used may be either a PUR resin, that cures within a few minutes or UV resin that cures within seconds by using uv light.
Maybe the real croissant. was first covered in resin completely and then the hole was made. makes more sense to me.
Temu is absolutely unhinged
I feel like they coated it in resin before they hallowed it out to coat the inside with resin. It would make more sense to be because it would add some stability to the shell before they started removing the bread. Which, would also help with making the shell as hallow as possible without actually digging straight through. I think if you did that method, it would have been more efficient and accurate.
You have a relaxing voice
who the hell needs a lamp inside of a Croissant?? What the actual f....???
You should try our Aqua Mouse! Thousands of people in the comments of our Shorts are curious about drinking the forbidden liquid 💧
Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooooo.
every day this world gets more strange
There was a time when I was a kid and I went to a doctors office
I remember there being display foods and I actually took a bite out of the display sausage patty and I was surprised that it actually tasted like a real sausage patty
I most likely ate a lot of resin, but I ate the whole thing and this was years ago so I’m okay I guess 😂
Apparently a lot of display foods were actually made with real foods covered in resin back then
I never realized this until recently, it all kinda felt like a fever dream 😂
I’ve seen people make resin phone cases and jewellery with some dried fruit in them, strawberry is a popular one. I don’t think they’d last either
Just eat the damn croissant lamp!
Waot, so it was REAL?! 😂
I'm actually shocked that if it had been used for a while....mmmmm, the snell of buttery baked goods and resin. Yummy!
The idea is cool but we're seeing in real time why certain things shouldn't be mass produced like this.
i thought this video was clickbait but it is 100% as advertised and i throughly enjoyed
Ah! That 3D thing from the shoe sample may have been a Slime Mould! Those are actually rather interesting lifeforms, you know!
Crazy that the price of the croissant was probably more than how much the worker that made the lamp probably earnt
I would assume that the hardened resin is considered relatively safe because it is just so hard that it stays in one piece and unlikely to contaminate anything, not that it would actually be safe to consume.
O.O WHAT!!! I hadn't heard of this lamp for sale covered in resin! WHAT!!
"many other people also insisted that they also have croissant lamps"... That's a sentence you do not hear every day lol
I love this 😂 I’m glad to see someone talking about this
Try again with completely stale bread
Genuinely shocked it was a real croissant, wild that thats cheaper than cheap plastic
I might be crazy but I always thought they were real pastries, like, as soon as "croissant lamp" appeared in my feed I was like "ah yes, a croissant dunked in resin, looks good", the idea of it being fake never even crossed my mind lol
Turns out apparently it's wrong to do that? And it destroyed some lolita career cause she was dunking real macarons in resin to make cute accesories?
This is absolutely insane 🤦♀️😂
This is the equivalent of "Is a lamp safe to eat?"
Just looked on Temu to see if the lamps were actually not available and there is a listing for one that is $10.26 in American currency
Thanks for really looking into this lamp.
"Its a luxury product and worth the price" sis you just said they were about to toss it out, stop defending what is basically a croissant covered in resin xD would have been much better, if safe, to give to the homeless. Not stick a cheap LED inside then charge 100+ for it. Jeeeesus. You could make this yourself with a youtube tutorial and enough time for a fraction of the cost, literally anyone could x3
