Entry Project: A piece of cake

For the entry project I was inspired by the concept of the Apple Pie and Devil's Food cake. I played with the idea of evil ie. the devil stemming from an apple, biblically referencing Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit - the apple.

Acryllic paint on the outside, black spray paint for the inside.

I took these photos for loose reference for the overall proportions

Below, the end product. To create realism I used chocolate frosting to add an outer layer, reiterating the concept of temptation and evil trying to 'lure' us in through attractive features. The swirls were made using a piping bag.

The idea that evil lies beneath the surface, at the core of what at first seems tempting. As such, the 'delicious cake' opens to unfold the evil within - the temptation of the fruit and the suffering that it entails.
