This Animated Zoetrope Is Not Your Average Coffee Cake

zoetrope-cake

Inspired by the work of Alexandre Dubosc, Chartered Accountants ANZ created this amazing Zoetrope Cake for their ‘Art of Prosperity’ campaign.

The tiers start off at the top with some coffee and muffins, and work their way into the concept of seizing opportunities and growing industries. And, there’s high fives.

A Bowl Of Froot Loops That’s Actually A Cake

Brought to us by Kelly of Studio DIY, the Cereal Bowl Cake is here to toy with our minds. First of all, in what appears to be a yummy bowl of Froot Loops, isn’t exactly what it seems.

Although, the end result is actually an awesome cake that tastes like Froot Loops… so we’re going to go ahead and forget that we’d been deceived.

The best part is, with the included recipe, you can make a cake like this with any cereal imaginable. Even Grape Nuts for the self-loathing. Check it out here.

Try Not To Get Lost In This Demented Cake Maze

Rooms made from and filled with cake sounds wonderful. That is until we look a bit closer, and our cake fantasy quickly turns into a twisted fever dream.

Break Bread LA is a new art installation by Scott Hove, with rooms seemingly made from nothing but cake. Of course, the scenario of floor-to-ceiling frosting is not exactly what it seems.

Firstly, we cannot show up to the LA gallery with a fork, expecting to eat the exhibit… it’s made mostly from building materials, house paint and spackle. Secondly, throughout the rooms, items protrude from the cake walls — such as animal jaws, machine guns, and switchblades. Meant to add contrast to “that bougie cake look,” the items, according to Hove, “possess a real fierce quality that affects us on a very deep level.”

Break Bad LA also includes a watercolor gallery by Keith Magruder, aka Baker’s Son, and will run until March 13th at Think Tank Gallery in Los Angeles.

Breakup Cakes and Pies Will Let You Down Easy

cant-say-we-didnt-try-final

Breaking up is hard to do. So, to help make the process a bit easier, artist Isabella Giancarlo is encouraging the breaker-upper to become a baker.

Eat Your Heart Out is a fun project that takes the most passive-aggressive and cliché break-up lines, and turns them into delicious baked goods.

So, imagine how much easier it will be, to not have to write an impersonal text or email. And, for the heartbroken, there’s always pie. Giancarlo is actually encouraging submissions for breakup lines here.
