Does cake have a place in sculptural studio art?
Sure! I mean, the kitchen is pretty much the studio, the dinning room is where the cake gets displayed to people and then eaten, just like a painting would (not including the getting eaten part). One thing I like about cake art is looking at one that looks like it is not edible when really it is. Take this cake from the television show Ace of Cakes for example:
Although this is a really weird idea for a birthday cake, the fact that it was created and made to look just like the actual Nikon camera makes it a piece of art. Like what Arthur Danto says about art, "....if art is imitation, mirror-images are art."
Here is another cake from another television show called Cake Boss.
