My sugar “cake” has captured the imagination of the 10-year-old girls in my neighborhood. Every so often the doorbell rings and 3 smiling faces ask if they can see the “candy cake.” They think it is sheer genius that I built a cake made of candy to display in my kitchen.
It is the kind of art they can understand. It is the kind of art they want.
They never tire of looking at it and they check back often to make sure that it is “real.” Lots of things I create garner attention, but nothing is quite like what I see in the eyes of these girls.
