Embarrassment of Riches
Four dimensional strawberry birthday cake with proscutto.
Mincemeat tower with gherkins and off-brand canned beverage selection.
Party bundt on hand-carved heirloom cakestand, with rare filet mignon and crudite.

The trompe-l’oeil element was a major goal with these photo-realistic renderings, made with Cinema 4D and Octane Render. I wanted an image that might look like a photo someone’s mother took of some outdated culinary achievement, circa 2001.
