Artist Statement (what Kaileigh304 said about their artwork)
My favorite part about my cake is probably my colors that I chose. I feel like they go really well together and compliment each other well. My least favorite part of my cake is the pink and purple pearls I put at the bottom of both cakes. I don't really like it because I think it kind makes my cake look funny. What I did to create this artwork was I started with the to cakes. Then I made the cake stand and cut out a little piece of the cake. Then I colored it and added shadow. The element of art I used was form. Wayne Thiebaud made 3D cakes and this cake reminded me of him because I feel like these would be some colors he would chose.
