Sadly, I missed it. The Cupcake Voyage Art Exhibition was held in Hong Kong in August

“My relationship with a cupcake?… Body image?…

Some people make cupcakes from baby socks, some make them out of lego…

Baby gifts inspired by Michelangelo. And the link to our very own cupcake art facebook application?

Here it is

Following on from yesterday’s blog, I lay awake last night wondering what you could do with a column of cupcakes… pole dancing was my best, yet messy, idea.

Here is the artist, Leah Foster, pictured above next to her cupcake pole. Her cupcake art exihibition Muffin Tops, is currently on display in a Dallas art gallery. I don’t know what I like more, the cupcake and concrete Pro-Hart pictured below, or the spiel that accompanies it: 

Instead of paint, she uses cupcake batter and frosting to glaze the surface of the gallery. The batter functions as paint, yet does not attempt to hide its identity as a food product. In exposing the duality of the cupcake, Foster means for her work to question the physical expectations of the human form. The viewer experiences and visually devours the pieces within the series, and in doing so, actively confronts the beauty stereotypes of current mass media.

Uh-huh?
