Cake Crest
20 November 2025
Acrylic on poly-cotton canvas
20 x 16 inches (50.8 x 40.6 cm)
I painted this as another entry (along with Drupe Monde and Pistachio) for the "Just Desserts" call-for-art at a local gallery. I wanted to paint something light and fun and a tad bit surreal. I was going to pack more cakes in there, but I didn't want it to get too busy (and was kind of running out of cake ideas). I thought the clouds were nice, too. More 'desserty' than a stormy sky. I also kept the price low if someone wanted it as a present. I painted over a piece of wall art - what I call 'Flattery' - as you can see below.
I didn't make a gif. I was approaching a timeline so I didn't take many stage shots.
In fact, the pic on the right was before a trip. I finished it the night after I returned.
The original piece came with a 1.5" boarder and was technically a gallery wrap.
I didn't continue with the image and gave it a sky blue museum wrap.
I wanted to tack some wood around it but ran out of time.
