The Saddest Cake On Earth by FIRE and ICING Cakes, Cookies, Confections
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MOMA), San Francisco, April 5th, 2012.
Book signing tour for the release of Camille Rose Garcia's newest book, "Snow White".
When I learned that one of my favorite artists, Camille Rose Garcia, was going to be at the SF MOMA for her book signing tour of her latest release, "Snow White", I knew I had to pull out the whisk and the mixing bowl.
Garcia’s layered, broken narrative paintings of wasteland fairy tales are influenced by William Burroughs’ cut-up writings and surrealist films, as well as vintage Disney and Fleischer cartoons, acting as critical commentaries on the failures of capitalist utopias, blending nostalgic pop culture references with a satirical slant on modern society.
This cake comprises a culmination of Camille Rose Garcia's beautiful, dark art and iconic, gothic-like imagery. It serves as a sugar tome to the milieu of characters that inhabit her dark and fantastical world as witnessed in her numerous art books: The Saddest Place On Earth, Tragic Kingdom, The Magic Bottle, Alice In Wonderland, and her latest release, Snow White.
The Magic Bottle cake topper holds the secret to saving our planet from greedy oil factories, landfills and giant corporations destroying the last of the remaining wild animals on earth. But, will it be enough to defeat the capitalist machine out to ruin the natural world? You'll have to find out by purchasing her book (or stealing the sugar bottle from me)!
Fighting evil empires with sugar and spice,
