This painting shows a messy pile of cakes stacked on top of each other. The cakes are bright yellow, purple, and white with red and blue drips. The background is a plain, light tan color. The artist used thick, bold lines to separate each cake, making them look almost like blocks. The way the cakes overlap gives a sense of depth.
