What a genius deep dive. This thrilled me. With each one of these, the part of me that is adamant I don’t like or get art, gets quieter and quieter.

And this line,

"You can’t tell what food tastes like by looking at it, any more than you can tell what people are like merely by looking at them.” - Wayne Thiebaud

Ahhh thank you Kaitlyn! That's always the goal, so I'm glad you're feeling more connected with the art. 🖼️ Wayne Thiebaud seemed like such a cool guy, great quote!

This is so wildly creative! I can just picture walking through your gallery. I imagine it smells like vanilla.

Enjoyed your thoughts on the different pieces of art. The Thiebaud work especially sounds cool (and for some reason I want to touch it??). The first time I tried to bake my husband a birthday cake, I accidentally baked banana bread instead of banana flavored white cake... plus spent $98 somehow and had the fire department as guests. We've come a long way!

Mmmm vanilla, thanks for picking up on the scent! Hehe.

Oh my, a very expensive burnt banana bread loaf cake - that is a great story to look back on (probably not a great one to experience in the moment)! Thanks for sharing Gabriella 🩷

I love baking cakes, especially layer cakes, for all occasions. While carrot cake is usually a winner, Hummingbird Cake is always a winner!

I have never heard of Hummingbird Cake so I just googled it. This looks SO good, will definitely have to give this a try sometime. Thanks Jessica!

The best version of Hummingbird Cake is a recipe from Southern Living magazine. It should be available online, but if you can’t find it, lmk. 🎂

Yum! I would love to visit this gallery. In the same vein as someone who orders chicken tenders and fries at a restaurant I would say ice cream cake (specifically the fudge part) is my favourite 😄 Happy belated birthday to Scott!

Oh my gosh, Bruce Bogtrotters cake in Matilda! Takes me right back to 1996, sitting on living room floor and watching in horror. I really believed there was sweat and blood in that cake.

What a fun post! I'm constantly in awe of your creativity. I really enjoyed this post!

Another cake in pop culture comes to mind is the chocolate cake in The Bear! Have you watched that show? I recently binged it and it is sooooo good.
