Marble Chocolate Cake

Marble Chocolate Cake, acrylic, 11 x 14, with black contemporary frame. $400 ©B. Sistak Baur
Marble Chocolate Cake, reflects its name in many ways. You can see the white and chocolate in the cake itself. The marbling is reflected on the plate it sits on. A marbling technique is on the top surface of the cake. Finally, marbled ribbons of "chocolate" create a cake topping. This chocolate ribbon was created separately from the painting and placed there. It actually stands out from the surface (see picture below). It is drizzled with "white icing" to finish the effect. I have included close ups.
