This Berry Mascarpone Layer cake is a recreation of my favorite cake with elements of familiarity and surrealism. I wanted to encourage the desire to taste the cake through the bright colors of the berries and jam surrounded by the creamy frosting. However, upon closer inspection, that desire would turn to confusion as the viewer realizes the cake is gazing back. Through my work, I want to experiment with the things we interact with in very specific ways and change them to achieve an otherworldly effect.
