Yesterday, I set out to create a culinary masterpiece for our community food support program where I volunteer weekly. What emerged was…well, let’s call it ‘interpretive dessert.’ An upside-down apple caramel cake, to be precise, that was more flop than upside-down. Sweet, bordering on ‘sugar rush,’ and visually, more ‘deconstructed’ than ‘delicate.’ It certainly wouldn’t have passed muster at the National Gallery of Canada. Unlike Jana Sterbak’s Flesh Dress, however, it was edible, despite its avant-garde appearance.
Honest! It tasted good, I swear! Just… visually, it looked like a toddler had a passionate fling with a baking tray. A chaotic, delicious, wall-paper making kind of fling.
